EID UL ADHA MUBARAK

-

 “And the Camels and Cattle We have Appointed for you as among the Symbols of ALLAH; for you therein is Good. So mention the name of ALLAH upon them when lined up [for sacrifice]; and when they are [lifeless] on their sides, then Eat from them and Feed the Needy and the Beggar. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may be Grateful.”

(Al-Quran)



The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “It is the Sunnah of Your FATHER HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS). For every Hair of the Qurbani you Receive a Reward from ALLAH (swt).” (Trimidhi)


Qurbani, meaning Sacrifice, is an Integral part of the Festival of EID UL ADHA for Muslims around the World. In addition, this act is also known as the Sunnah of HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS).




When asked about the origin of EID UL ADHA, Prophet HAZRAT MUHAMMED (Peace Be Upon Him) is reported to have said, “It is a tradition that has come down to us from Prophet HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS).” The Feast of Sacrifice dates from the historic event almost 4000 years back from now when Prophet HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS) was commanded by ALLAH (SWT) in a form of a dream vision to sacrifice his son HAZRAT Ismael (AS).


Prophet HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS) experienced a series of recurring dreams where ALLAH (SWT) appeared to him and told him that he must sacrifice his beloved son, HAZRAT Ismael (AS). After a few nights of experiencing this dream, Prophet HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS) realised that this was no trick, and despite how much he loved his son, he knew he had to follow the message that ALLAH (SWT) had bestowed upon him.


Prophet HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS) took his son to Mount Arafat where he told him about the dreams. HAZRAT ISMAEL (AS) immediately recognised the importance of the dream and knew that he must oblige the wishes of his father and his Creator. Thus, he asked Prophet HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS) to bind his arms and legs so he could not struggle, and he also requested that his father place a blindfold over his own eyes so he did not have to witness his suffering.


Once blindfolded, Prophet HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS) did as ALLAH (SWT) had requested, yet when he removed his blindfold, he found that a divine miracle had occurred. HAZRAT Ismael (AS) was standing next to his father, completely unharmed, while the dead body of a ram instead lay in his place.


Initially, Prophet HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS) could not understand what had happened; he worried that he had disobeyed the wishes of ALLAH (SWT). However, at this point, he heard his Creator’s voice and was reassured. ALLAH (SWT) cares for and rewards his followers – Prophet HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS) had been tested and passed this test with flying colours.

This story of the Prophets HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS) and HAZRAT ISMAEL (AS) in the Qur’an is one of the most important passages and teaches us the meaning of Qurbani.


The Prophet HAZRAT MUHAMMED (Peace Be Upon Him), said “A Person is not a Believer who Fills his Stomach while his Neighbour goes Hungry.” (Bukhari)


During this time, Muslims remember the sacrifice that the Prophet HAZRAT IBRAHIM (AS) was prepared to make in the name of ALLAH (SWT) and the mercy shown by his Creator, replacing his son, HAZRAT ISMAEL (AS), with a goat before the sacrificial slaughter. To commemorate this, the annual Qurbani festival sacrifices animals between the 10th and 12th days of Dhul Hijjah.


EID MUBARAK, MAY ALLAH ACCEPT OUR QURBANI AND FORGIVE US. BY ACCEPTING QURBANI INSHALLAH ALLAH WILL PROVIDE US THE ULTIMATE AND ETERNAL PEACE…
