Qurbani & Responsibilities

Irfan Ahmed Tanwari (BM-1119)

The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) was once asked by his Companions: "O Prophet of Allah! What is this qurbani?" He replied, "It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (A.S)." (Hadith - Ibn Majah)

What is Qurbani (sacrifice)

There is nothing dearer to Allah during the days of Qurbani than the sacrificing of animals. The sacrificed animal shall come on the Day of judgment with its horns, hair, and hooves (to be weighed). The sacrifice is accepted by Allah before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore sacrifice with an open and happy heart. (Tirmizi, Ibne Majah)
