السلام عليكم,

Man, whenever we have these threads on 'ulama in SA and other places, I get so jealous... You guys are really lucky that live around, have family members who are and know, and interact with great 'ulama so easily...

It's true. Unfortunately though, sometimes when good things are around, you begin to take them for granted. Like for eg last year was the first ever time I saw a sheep/ox get slaughtered, and I was totally awed, but when I looked at the children, they were chattering as usual and having a lekker time. I couldn't help wondering that whether they were lucky to have been able to spend an Eedul Adhaa like the one I had every year, or whether I was the lucky one not to have spend Eedul Adhaa like that all my life, only to be desensitized when I grew up.

Although there is some hope: Yesterday I was reading one of my grade 1 student's project of sheep, in one page he wrote about his pet sheep Lala, and how he would be slaughtered for Qurbaani, and how he (my student) will be crying.
