Why Yoruba name Eid ul-Adha ILEYA

The vintage human beings within the Yoruba Lands named this Sallah- ILEYA (Ile ti ya), which means “It Is Time To Go Home”.

The Hausa referred to as it Sallah leyya. From my little expertise of Hausa language, it turned into a borrowed language from the Yorubas. Hausa additionally referred to as it Babban Sallah, which means Odun nla in Yoruba and in English Languge- Big Sallah.

 

My goal right here is to examine the outstanding information at the back of the call given with the aid of using the vintage human beings of yesteryears withinside the Yoruba Lands additionally followed with the aid of using the Hausas, may also Allah be thrilled with them all.

 

The call actually counseled that in which ever you are, whilst it's time for this Sallah, GO HOME.

 

TO DO WHAT?

Our vintage human beings knew that human beings of the equal lineage and own circle of relatives scattered all around the land searching for livelihood and Allah’s bounties. They then customary out a awaken name to convey you again collectively as a minimum as soon as in a year, at some stage in this Sallah, in which ever you are, COME HOME.

With the absence of smartphone then, they had been certainly a ways farfar from one another.

 

Sallah consequently offers possibility to unite contributors of equal own circle of relatives which have misplaced touch withinside the beyond one year.

 

WHAT IS THE WISDOM BEHIND COMING TOGETHER

When contributors of equal own circle of relatives meet at some stage in Sallah, it is going to be clean to look who's combating with poverty amongst them, hence, offers possibility to others to provide help.

 

Among contributors of equal own circle of relatives, to feed and ship youngsters for training is herculean, coming collectively in Sallah offers possibility to have standard and personal conferences with the motive of sharing and knowledge one’s demanding situations and issues and to provide help as required with the aid of using the Shariah legal guidelines of blood ties.

 

Unfortunately, the information of coming collectively is misplaced amongst Muslim families. Some don’t even consider going domestic in any respect due to the fact he's terrified of actual or imaginary witches in his village.

 

Some a success contributors of the own circle of relatives live at GRA with their clean-pores and skin searching youngsters with bikinis, slaughtering cows and rams at the same time as his elder brothers/sisters and uncles can not manage to pay for small goats for Sallah.

 

The information of coming collectively is misplaced.

Our Prophet, may also Allah be thrilled withbhim turned into said to have stated in a hadith narrated with the aid of using Anas ibn Malik that The Messenger of Allah, peace and advantages be upon him, stated:

“Whoever is thrilled to have his provision improved and his existence span extended, then he have to maintain appropriate family members together along with his own circle of relatives.”

I hereby name Muslims to usually locate time to do ILEYA at ILE and to pay interest and be touchy to the situations of his kinsmen and provide help to the pleasant of his capability. This is humanity, that is Islam.

May Allah spare our lives to witness the Eid, offer for us, considerable halal provisions and provide us the knowledge and capacity to share.

HAPPY EIDU-KABEER
