A PERCEPTIVE GLIMPSE OF QURBANI

We celebrate Qurbani on 10^th 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.).

Sacrifice: An animal that sustains injury after purchase

Muslims buy animals not with the intention of eating meat of a healthy animal but they do it with the sole purpose of pleasing ALLAH with their deed which is only performed as to seek HIS blessings and benevolence.

Wandering at the animal markets, just to buy an animal that is found to fit all the requirements that are mentioned in the Islamic Shariah specific to the purchase of sacrificial animal, is what every Muslim enjoys doing during the fervor that is found near the arrival of Eid-ul-Adha. There are some standards set which are necessary to be maintained while performing the qurbani. The qurbani animal cannot be slaughtered if it is not suitable according to the Islamic rules.

Islamic sharia for animal of qurbani

Horns of animal

It is instructed that an animal that was born without horns or if its horns had broken off from the middle, can be used for Qurbani but if its horn had broken off from the root then this animal cannot be said eligible for qurbani.

Blind animal

Moreover, animals that are blind or have lost one-third or more of their eye-sight, don’t have an ear or may be one-third of its ear is cut are not allowed for qurbani.

Short tail and no tail

Same goes with the animal’s tail that if it is not there or only one-third of it is there still this animal is not acceptable.

Limping animal

 Animal which cannot walk properly i.e it cannot put its 4^th leg onto the ground while walking, is unfit for qurbani however, if that injured leg supports its walk but limps then also it can be purchased and qurbani can be performed on it.

Small ear or no ears

If it has small ears there will be no issue with the qurbani to be performed on it but if it has no ear i.e if it was born without ears then it qualifies as an animal acceptable for qurbani.

Teeth

 Animal’s teeth are also looked in this matter not just its external fitness is made sure of for. If the animal has lost most of its teeth then its qurbani is not adequate however, if it has lost some of its teeth then qurbani is permissible.

Ailing animals

Furthermore, ailing animals such as those animals that are so thin and weak that they are unable to walk to the slaughtering place cannot be used for Qurbani.  Animal that sustains an injury whilst slaughtering, e.g. if its leg breaks or an ear is cut, etc. the Qurbani is termed valid for such an animal. In a case where an animal was bought in a healthy and perfect state but after purchasing it unfortunately it is met with an accident rendered the animal unfit for Qurbani. Then if its buyer is not wealthy (Saahibe Nisaab) it will be permissible to offer the same animal for Qurbani. However, if the purchaser is Saahibe Nisaab, then it is compulsory upon him to buy another animal in place of the injured or wounded animal. 

Another very rare but important case to know of is that if an animal bought for Qurbani gives birth (before being slaughtered), then the new born animal should also be slaughtered with the one which had been bought specifically for the purpose of qurbani.
