Importance Submission to Allah: Qurbani is an act of submission to Allah, and it signifies the willingness of a Muslim to give up everything they have for the sake of Allah. It teaches Muslims to be selfless, humble, and obedient to Allah. Sacrifice and Charity: Qurbani teaches Muslims the importance of sacrifice and charity. By sacrificing an animal, Muslims learn to share their wealth and blessings with the less fortunate. The meat of the sacrificed animal is divided into three parts, one for the poor, one for relatives and friends, and one for the person who has offered the sacrifice. Many people donate on eid-al-adha to help to less fortunate. This act of charity and sacrifice strengthens the bonds of brotherhood and unity among Muslims.
History The festival of Qurbani commemorates the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his son Ismail (AS). According to Islamic tradition, Ibrahim (AS) had a dream that He was ordered by Allah to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS) to prove his faith and devotion. Ibrahim (AS) was ready to obey the order, but at the last moment, Allah replaced Ismail (AS) with a ram. This act of devotion and obedience to Allah became a significant symbol of sacrifice in Islam.
