Understanding Qurbani – A Sacred Tradition
Qurbani, also known as Udhiyah, is the act of sacrificing a permissible animal such as a goat, sheep, cow, or camel during the days of Eid al-Adha. This practice is rooted in the story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who demonstrated absolute submission to Allah’s will. In recognition of his devotion, Allah replaced his son with a ram, establishing the tradition of sacrifice that Muslims continue today.
The term Udhiyah specifically refers to this act of sacrifice performed during Eid. It symbolizes a Muslim’s willingness to give up worldly possessions for the sake of Allah and serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience, humility, and charity.
Historically, Qurbani has been a means to distribute meat to the poor and needy, ensuring that everyone can partake in the festivities of Eid. Over the years, this practice has evolved, with many Muslims opting to donate their Qurbani through trusted organizations that carry out the sacrifice and distribution on their behalf.
