We must remind our children that there are poor and needy people who do not taste meat except on the days of Eid, i.e. once a year, and he must thank God bless him. He should not mention the goodness, the grace, and the richness with which he lives before his friends and neighbors who are lower than him; Because Eid is about feeling others and appreciating their feelings. Standing on Mount Arafat for Hajj means compliance with God's will and this wisdom from Him, and it means obedience to God even if the wisdom is hidden from us, just as Ramadan means fasting.
It means that we distribute the best of it to the poor; Because “God is good and only accepts what is good.” Gifting part of the meat to relatives and acquaintances teaches us a beloved Sunnah from the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, which is that he used to say: Give gifts and you will love one another. We must remind our children of the story of our master Abraham and his son Ismail, and that the son complied with his father even in the vision he saw, and God saved him from being slaughtered as a reward for his obedience.

Here, we must instill in our children the spirit of conviction that Eid does not mean extravagance, but it does mean visiting and empathizing with others.

Accompany your child to visit the wombs and the elderly, so that he learns how to be righteous and upright, and thus knows that Eid is not only a game and a pastime.
