1 cor 8 vs 4
4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. 7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse. 9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

who told you the rams are killed for idols. If you don't know d genesis of something, keep quiet

Self-righteous Bumkins are here again! Is anyone shoving the meat down your throat? Most of you are just afraid to pay it back during Christmas. This is how we were made to believe Muslims were demons growing up, only to find out that they have conscience more than most Christians, and are better lovers. As a woman who grew up in a strict Christian home, I have since found out that Christians have no case against Muslims.

Me I ate it and digested it. There is only one God, all religions are just channels to get to your God.
You will wonder when you get to heaven that be you muslim or christian you're thesame in front of God. What God is expecting from you is your righteousness to Him.

Our beloved muslims on this forum, we all link this to Abraham sacrifice But Abraham did not consume the Ram but rather offer it as a burnt offering. So pls for the sake of Ignorance, why is the Ram not being processed the same way Abraham did his?
And pls. What is the primary intent of killing the Ram?

1Co 8:4-13
"4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge:for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8 But meat commendeth us not to God:for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend."
(KJV).
Simple to understand!

To all those saying that Eid is ungodly or a way of paying homage to satan lacks conviction in every aspect in their life. The fact that it is called salah. Doesn't mean it isn't in the bible, salah is word for celebration you dickhead should better listen well. Eid el fitr is in the old testament of the bible as a reference to prophet Abraham(A.S.A). I guess most christians don't know cus you all reading the revised edition of the bible.(No offence). To all Fanatics, I say keep been relegio-centric and I will see where it lands you mudbloods. Fanaticism carries notin buh hatred, and I tell you hatred can do a lot of BADSHIT. All I want it the best for naija, my family, my friends and my fellow nairalanders. My conscience is clear in everyway. To my fellow friends who can't quench their love for meat, I say keep eating meat for first class protein and to the latter, well I can only say malnutrition will be your standpoint.

yemaldo:

was jesus not chased away by his people? jesus was killed by his own people so u aint gat point
Do the people who 'killed jesus' share his beliefs? Do dey worship is God? if your answer to this is no then ask yourself the same question about mohammed, if he is worshipping the same God has pagan meccans why did they chase him out of the town? why did they wage several wars against him? is the God abraham worshipped different from the God who sent Jesus? remember the ileya originated from abraham, is this God different from the one that sent mohammed? Do you know that muslims follows 4 holy books, the book of moses, songs of david, the old testament and the quran? the quran is the utmost for muslims because it contains the teachings of the 3 other books and was the final guide. why do u think islam and christianity have the same stories about all prophets past? find the answers when you have the time my dear, read from neutral sources like i said earlier, i'll like to remind you the reason for my comments is to enlighten you lots that are potraying we muslims as idol worshippers, educate your self, i read about and understand christianity to an extent that is why i can relate with my christian friends in peace, try 2 understand other peoples beleive b4 u condemn and criticize. enjoy your holiday.

Thank you, how I wish other people are asking questions like this just to be enlightened instead of criticizing what they dont know. to your question, we muslims beleive in the teachings of all prophets from adam to mohammed, this includes all prophets in-between, abraham is one of the most respected prophets in islam, the Quran directed us to commemorate his dedication to God, the fact that he is willing 2 sacrifice his only child before he was given the ram, it is a sign of utmost trust and beleive, it is to remind us to have a strong beleive and trust in God, the kind of beleive abraham has. i will like 2 also tell u that the spot where people go 2 in mecca was created by abraham, God directed him 2 call people to come and worship in that spot, the place was a complete desert and not a single soul could hear his voice, but God promise him that billions of people will come for generations, he beleived and made the call, going to that spot to worship is now one of the pillars of islam, compulsory for every muslim who has the financial ability. the ram sacrifice was mark the end of the hajj (the visits to the holy place), it is also for those who can afford it. on why we dont burn it, the quran did not teach us to do so, instead, the ram is to be share into 3 equal parts, 1 part to be eaten by the person who killed it and his/her family, one part to be shared to friends and family who came to celebrate the eid with them or to greet them, and the third part to be shared to neighbours and friends who did not come and those that do not have the financial mean to kill any thing, its a way of giving to the poor and remembering them. although nowadays not every1 follows this sharing method. i will also want to inform you that the meat is 2 be shared to every friends and neighbours following the method above irrespective of their religious beliefs. you cant jump anybody unless they refuse 2 accept, it is also improper for any muslim to reject the meat if he was offered even if he kill his own, the only thing he can do is to offer his own too to the person who gave him, that is why you find various families exchanging sallah meat, this builds friendship and relationships, if u have witnessed several sallah in your area you can attest to this. its a period when people ends grudges. I hope i have been able 2 enlighten u a little, enjoy.

Al-hamdullilah I've seen the light of Al-Islam and will never depart from it. So many ignorant folks calling themselves christians here. We should be forgiving and enlighten as I was fooled for years too.

Their god who send down RUMOUR is the only true god. If their god in his absoluteness could send down RUMOUR from heaven then why do you think their godlike pastors can't teach them more rumour. (Obadiah 1.1 and Jeremiah 49.14) arguing with some of them is like pouring water in basket and expecting it to be full.

Did Jesus (prophet Isah) preach or proclaim any religion or new way of life when alive or didn't he say he came to only fulfil the scriptures.

Abraham had a first child from his wife's maid Hagar called Ishmael and he was asked to sacrifice "his only begotten child" (Heb. 11.17, Gen. 22.2) if isaac were born then won't the bible say his legitimate son. The test on Abraham was done long before Isaac was born and is even well stated that he was asked to sacrificed his only son not sarah's only son. Ishmael was 14years older than Isaac. Yet some dull ignorant bigots who are spoonfed lies and fables swallow hook and sinker. I guess their god didn't know the meaning of the word "only begotten son" or he forgot Abraham has another child 14years older.

If Paul is the rallying point of early christians then all christians should be catholics since he was the first pope and he authored many books in the new testaments. Not even disciples of Jesus match the reverence Paul had.

One igronant stereotype bigot is comparing eid adha with christmas. Go read about what christmas is all about and even easter then you know your pastors and reverends have been making you worship roman gods since ages and ponder why jehovah witnesses don't celebrate both.

Islam is never about human beings writing their biography and autobiography it is the complete. Way of life God wants human to live. The ways of the Prophet is recorded separate from the quran so as not to mix up God divine Will from the way the Prophet a messenger, a creation like all prophets before him lived
Al-hamdullilah I'm a Muslim now
If any wont eat the sallah meat it is better to politely reject than go throw it away that itself is a sin. When I was younger we did so and it never affected the relationship with our neighbours. It is height of wickedness to go throw away something someone used his hardearned money to procure and present to you on a platform. Of good neighbourliness

I disagree with this.

If you're quoting bible, do not misinterprete it.

Whatever goes into a man's mouth does not make him unclean but rather what ever comes out of his mouth. Meat is meat, are we saying the ram killed by Muslims for the ileya is offered to idols?
