Remember! We should perform sacrifice and all other virtuous deeds with sincerity and steadfastness for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ alone and, if we, while seeking the pleasure of public, buy an expensive animal for sacrifice in order to receive loads of appreciation and admiration from the public but remember people sometimes show different tendency and reaction and pass comments in this way: ‘Look! How expensive animal it is! Such an expensive animal cannot be bought by fair means and it is of no use to sacrifice animal by the unlawful earnings.’

If, in order to prevent the public criticism and taunting, someone buys a cheap animal, people still do not help commenting in this way: ‘In the futile customs of the marriage of his children he wasted huge money but when it is the time of spending in the way of Allah, he has brought very lean, thin and weak animal, though Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has granted him with abundant wealth!’ Such types of comments come from the people whom we prefer to the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Dear Islamic brothers! We should try to seek the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ alone on this blessed occasion of Qurbani instead of seeking the pleasure of others and we should keep piety and sincerity in view because only that Qurbani is accepted in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ which entails sincerity and piety otherwise the animal which we have sacrificed, its meat and other benefits merely reach us, nothing, out of it, reaches Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. It is the piety and sincerity which reach in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ as it is stated in the Glorious Quran:

لَنۡ  یَّنَالَ  اللّٰہَ    لُحُوۡ مُہَا   وَ لَا دِ مَآ ؤُ ہَا   وَ  لٰکِنۡ    یَّنَا لُہُ    التَّقۡوٰی    مِنۡکُمۡ  ؕ

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Never does their flesh nor their blood reach Allah, but your piety successfully reaches Him. (Part 17, Surah Al-Hajj, Ayah 37)

So, we should not perform any act with the purpose of showing off or for seeking fame at all rather we should inculcate the habit of performing good deed for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ alone.
