Veteran actor and social thinker Khaled Anam recently made a heartfelt statement that has stirred reflections on the true essence of Eid-ul-Adha. In a powerful message, he questioned the common practice of storing Qurbani meat in freezers and urged people to prioritize humanity over habit.
Khaled stated,
“Bagher freezer qurbani ka gosht mehfooz rakhnay ka tareeqa yeh hai ke aap woh gosht mustahqeen ke gharon tak pohnchayen. Gosht qayamat tak kharab nahi hoga.”
His words carried more than advice they carried deep wisdom about compassion and sharing.
He emphasized that sacrifice is not just a ritual, but a spiritual opportunity to touch lives. When meat reaches an empty plate instead of a cold shelf, it becomes a symbol of empathy and a timeless act of kindness.
The message has gone viral, resonating deeply with citizens, religious scholars, and social activists alike. Many are now rethinking how they perform and perceive Qurbani shifting the focus from personal storage to collective well-being.
Khaled’s voice adds to a growing narrative in Pakistan that calls for meaningful charity and action reminding people that true preservation is not done through refrigeration, but through the warmth of giving.
