Qurbani - Sacrifice
Bahishti Zewar


There is very great merit in qurbaani. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: "During the days of qurbaani, Allah Ta'ala does not like any act more than qurbaani. In the days of qurbaani, the act of qurbaani surpasses all other acts of piety. At the time of sacrificing the animal, this noble act is accepted by Allah Ta'ala before the blood of the animal can reach the ground.

Therefore, make qurbaani happily and open-heartedly." Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also said: "For every hair that is on the sacrificial animal, one reward is recorded for the person making the qurbaani." Glory be to Allah! Can there be a reward greater than this, that a person receives hundreds and thousands of rewards for just one single qurbaani! If a person had to count the strands of wool on a sheep from morning till evening he will not be able to complete the count. Just try and imagine the innumerable rewards for one single qurbaani. Piety demands that even if qurbaani is not wajib on a person, he should make it in order to receive such great rewards.

When this day of qurbaani passes, when will one ever get an opportunity like this again, and how will he be able to receive such innumerable rewards so easily? If Allah Ta'ala has blessed a person with wealth, then apart from making qurbaani for himself, he should also make qurbaani for his relatives such as his parents who have passed away so that their souls will also be amply rewarded.

One should also try and make qurbaani on behalf of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, his wives, on behalf of one's spiritual guides, etc. If all this is not possible, one should at least make on one's own behalf because qurbaani is wajib on the person who is wealthy. Qurbaani is wajib on the person who is wealthy and who has been blessed with everything. If he does not make qurbaani despite all this wealth, who can be more unfortunate than him? Apart from this, he will also be regarded as a sinner.
