Qurbani, the ritual sacrifice of an animal during the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha, is a significant practice deeply rooted in Islamic tradition. This act commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's (Abraham's) willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael) in obedience to Allah's command. Today, Muslims worldwide perform Qurbani to honor this profound act of faith and obedience. In 2024, Al-Wahab Foundation is once again providing an exceptional platform for Muslims to fulfill their Qurbani obligations with ease, transparency, and a commitment to helping those in need.
What is Qurbani?
Qurbani, derived from the Arabic word "Qurban," means sacrifice. It is performed during the days of Eid al-Adha, which falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The ritual involves the slaughtering of a livestock animal, such as a sheep, goat, cow, or camel. The meat is then distributed into three parts: one-third for the individual performing the Qurbani, one-third for friends and family, and one-third for the poor and needy. This distribution symbolizes sharing, charity, and the spirit of community.
Importance of Qurbani
Qurbani is not merely an act of slaughter but a demonstration of a Muslim's devotion and gratitude to Allah. It is a reminder of the virtues of sacrifice, compassion, and generosity. By participating in Qurbani, Muslims express their willingness to give up something valuable in obedience to God's will. It also provides an opportunity to support those less fortunate, as the meat distributed to the needy can significantly impact their lives, providing them with essential nourishment.
