Fulfilling your Qurbani

 

What is Qurbani?



The Prophet (ﷺ) was once asked: “What is Qurbani?”

The Prophet (ﷺ) replied: “It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (AS). For every hair of the Qurbani you receive a reward from Allah (SWT).” [Tirmidhi]

Qurbani is a sacrificial practice of an animal whose meat is distributed to those in need. Qurbani is compulsory for all Muslims to practice who meet the Zakat threshold. The religious duty to sacrifice a goat, sheep, cow or camel is in honour of our beloved Prophet Ibrahim’s (as) uncompromising devotion to Allah (swt).

Prophet Ibrahim (as) dreamt Allah (swt) ordered him to sacrifice his son Ishmail (as). As an obedience and unrelenting faith, Prophet Ibrahim (as) prepared for the sacrifice of his son.

The willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (as) to sacrifice his son Ishmail (as) as an act of obedience to Allah (swt) demonstrated his unrelenting faith. In his mercy, Allah (swt) spared Ismail (as), and a ram was sacrificed instead. In remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim’s sacrifice, every Eid al-Adha Muslims follow the sunnah of Qurbani and observe obedience to Allah (swt).
