We celebrate Qurbani on 10th
of Zil-Hijja according to Islamic calendar every year. It is the biggest
festival of Islam which is celebrated all around the globe where Muslims are
present. Sometimes, we as a Muslim think
of Eid-ul-Azha just as an Islamic ritual to slaughter Halal animals for the
sake of Allah (S.W.T.) and distribute the meat among unprivileged people.
Qurbani is a sacred ritual.
Muslims buy healthier Halal animals, feed them, take care of them and protect
them from every calamity. Thus they treat the animals as equals and when the
day of Qurbani arrives they slaughter their beloved animal in the name of Allah
Almighty. Allah loves His beings who obediently follow His commandments and
spend their lives according to the Sunnah of Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa
(P.B.U.H.).
Islam is the most splendid
religion on earth. Its every ritual is not indeed aims at fulfilling religion
hood but it has deep meanings and thus when we understand those deep meanings
it has great impact in our lives as well. When Muslims fulfill every obligation
of Allah (S.W.T.) they prove that they believe in the sanctity of Allah
Almighty.
When Muslims perform Qurbani they
actually understand that the blessings which Allah has bestowed upon them owe their
existence to Allah (S.W.T.). These blessings are given by Allah (S.W.T.) and
not a single human being can claim his ownership over them. It is the Allah
Almighty who holds rest powers. By performing the obligation of Qurbani, Muslim
revises the concept of Aqida Tauheed i.e. there is no such God but Allah.
The Qurbani obligation is mandatory
to our every Muslim brothers and sisters who are wealthier enough to carry out
such mission. The second, purposeful thought behind the concept of Islamic
Qurbani is about accepting the crucial reality that our every possession our
wealth and kids are a challenge to us. It means that Muslim shouldn’t forget
Allah by indulging themselves in carrying out worldly tasks such as
accumulating wealth and taking care of kids.
The third fact is that nothing
should come first to Muslim but Allah Almighty. We should give up everything to
execute the commandments of Allah Almighty. Hence, He is the sovereign authority
over us and His sovereignty is universal.
Our beloved Prophets Hazrat
Ibrahim (A.S.) and Hazrat Ismail (A.S.) both have shown their sincere passion to
become obliging beings of Allah (S.W.T.).
