people are provided.
Once the companions of Prophet Muhammad
(saws) asked him: “O Prophet of Allah! What is
this Qurbani?” To this, Prophet Muhammad
replied: “It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim
(as).” (quoted from Hadith – Ibn Majah).
In Qur’an Allah (swt) says: “It is neither their
flesh nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your
piety that reaches Him.” (Qur'an 22:37)
It is since the time of Ibrahim (as) that the act of
Qurbani has been performed. The act also
commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim to
sacrifice his own son, who was actually replaced
by an animal during the time of Qurbani.
