Syakir Daulay Turns Out to Have His Own Way of Interpreting Eid al-Adha

Kapanlagi.com - One of the stars of the movie MARIPOSSA, Syakir Daulay apparently has his own perspective on the meaning of sacrificing on Eid al-Adha. According to him, the story of Prophet Ibrahim AS following Allah's command to sacrifice his son is a form of true love.

"Interpreting it is not just about cutting goats and cows. The story is drawn from a father, namely Prophet Ibrahim, who deeply loves his son. Then Allah commanded Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son," said Syakir Daulay when met in Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta, on Tuesday afternoon (28/7).

"The essence is not just Allah asking Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son, but Allah asked Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his love, not only to Allah, but also to his wife and children. So according to Syakir, interpreting it is not just about cutting, but how we can cut love that exceeds limits," he continued.

1. Slaughter Sacrificial Animals Yourself

Therefore, on the occasion of this year's Eid al-Adha, Syakir Daulay will participate in the sacrifice on behalf of his family. Not only that, the 18-year-old actor plans to participate in slaughtering the sacrificial animal himself.

"Yes, on behalf of the family. Yesterday, Syakir's vlog was about learning how to cut, why? Because as a precaution, the pandemic is not over yet and it is not allowed to cut indiscriminately, so we can cut it ourselves at home. It is more proper to slaughter the sacrificial animal ourselves. Yesterday, I learned how to cut the sacrificial animal and Alhamdulillah, I can do it," said Syakir Daulay.

2. Will Pray Eid in the Mosque

In addition, despite the current situation still being in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, this young man from Aceh plans to still perform Eid prayers in congregation at the mosque. However, he will still follow the applicable health protocol.

"Actually, even Friday prayers are allowed, as long as we follow the protocol. Actually, Islam makes it easy, it's okay to pray Eid in congregation but obey the health protocol. Let's respect those who want to pray Eid at home, and those who want to pray in the mosque should follow the health protocol," he concluded.
