A nation is where the preceding generation sacrifices for the succeeding generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prophet Ibrahim prepared his son for sacrifice and in return received a sheep from Allah, he recalled, adding that one must first sacrifice oneself to receive another sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p>A generation that sacrifices itself for the country is created by the preceding generation that sacrificed to save the nation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our mothers and fathers sacrificed themselves for the independence and sovereignty of their country,&#8221; the PM noted, adding that they will receive a heavenly and historical reward for that.<\/p>\n<p>However, they do not receive an equivalent earthly reward as there is no reward that can match a life. &#8220;We are the ones who receive their reward, and the succeeding generation will receive our reward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After Adam and Hawa left Jannah, they lived separately for a long time. They reunited on the day of Arafah, a special day of reunion and meeting, the premier elaborated.<\/p>\n<p>Thoughts, perspectives, grievances, and past histories might have separated us in one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>However, as children of the same country, our separation should not be permanent or divisive. Like Adam and Hawa, we need a way to reconnect, Abiy stressed.<\/p>\n<p>For us, the way to reconnect is through national dialogue &#8212; a platform where our ideas and interests meet.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, &#8220;I hope that we will reflect on the sacrifice we make for our country and future generations by further strengthening the national dialogue platform where we meet on this day when we celebrate Arafah.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Ethiopia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ethiopia.
