I congratulate all the gentlemen, the Muslim people of Iran and the deprived people of the word on this blessed feast. In Islam, there are two occasions have been recognized as Islamic feasts: the holy Fitr Feast for Allah's banquet and the holy Sacrifice Feast for proximity to God. The former is prelude to proximity to God.
Prophet Abraham was ordered to cry so that people would gather around him' because the path should be traversed with the help of a guide from God. The path should be traversed with the help of God's guides. Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) was the guide of the time for all generation and the holy messenger of God the for the entire word. With their help one can reach wherever they wish.
After Abraham (peace be upon him) traversed some stages, he said: "I have turned my face towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth."
Abraham says, "I have turned away my face, and fir the prophet of God". It reads: "then he drew near and come down until he was the length of two bows away." Although these two are the apotheosis of perfection, there is difference between them.
