Boyolali In observance of Eid al-Adha in 1422 H, Dwi Agus Yuliantoro the Director of Development at Pradita Dirgantara High School, emphasized the profound significance of sacrifice and sincerity, particularly in the current pandemic context.
Dwi pointed to the story of Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his own son, Prophet Ishmael, as a powerful example of unwavering obedience to Allah's command.
He further explained that performing the sacrificial act is a profound form of devotion to the Creator, representing the willingness to offer one's most cherished possession. This sentiment resonates strongly with the global pandemic situation, where individuals are called upon to willingly make sacrifices in the interest of collective health and well- being.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all those who generously participate in sharing the sacrificial meat," expressed Dwi.
