Making a scapegoat some-more meaningful

PESHAWAR: Hundreds of years ago, a Arabs sacrificed animals in outrageous quantities as an charity to offer a poor. Indeed, it was a good endeavour since animals were a usually source of income for a infancy of them. They sacrificed what was many dear to them. This, however, is no longer loyal in complicated times. Much some-more can be finished for a poor.

Animals are no longer a source of income or wealth for a infancy of Muslims. Now, a village is sanctified with landlords, businessmen, doctors, engineers, lawyers, bankers, professors and entrepreneurs. Sacrificing animals alone is not adequate to offer a Muslim population. In this month, a landlords should give out some of their land to a lowest of their tenants, doctors should offer patients for free, engineers and bankers should give divided their salaries to those in need, lawyers should take a box that hasn’t been filed due to miss of resources, professors should make arrangements for a bad child to be enrolled during a high peculiarity educational institution, and businessmen should give out some shares of their businesses to destitutes. This would volume to a genuine scapegoat and not frivolously slaughtering animals followed by barbeque parties. Cattle and stock festivals and barbeques were certainly not a purpose of a scapegoat spelled out to us centuries ago. In a profiteering and event over animal purchases, a suggestion of scapegoat has been mislaid on us.
