In this special Eid al-Adha episode of Sahaba Role Models, we dive into the incredible life of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, the noble companion who hosted Prophet Muhammad ﷺ upon his arrival in Madinah.
What makes this story so powerful for Eid is the theme of selfless sacrifice — not of animals, but of one’s comfort, wealth, and even life for the sake of Allah and His Messenger.
Just as Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was ready to give up what he loved most, Abu Ayyub gave up his home, ease, and even at old age, his life in jihad, all for the love of Islam.
This is not just a history lesson — it’s a reminder that Eid al-Adha is not just about Qurbani, but about embodying the spirit of total submission to Allah.
Reflect with us on the real meaning of sacrifice this Eid.
