Eid al-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is one of the most significant celebrations in the Islamic calendar. It commemorates the unwavering faith and obedience of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to sacrifice his beloved son for the sake of Allah (SWT). At the heart of this sacred occasion lies the tradition of Qurbani, also known as Udhiyah, which involves the sacrifice of an animal and the distribution of its meat to the poor and needy.
As we approach Eid al-Adha 2025, it's time to reflect on the values of compassion, generosity, and solidarity. This festive season is not just about rituals but about reaching out to those who are struggling to make ends meet. Through Qurbani 2025, you have the opportunity to bring hope to families in need and fulfill a deeply spiritual act that echoes the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (AS).
Understanding Qurbani
Qurbani or Udhiyah is a symbolic act of devotion carried out by Muslims across the world during Eid al-Adha. It involves the sacrifice of specific animals—such as goats, sheep, cows, or camels—following the Eid prayer. The act is rooted in the historical story of Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS) as a testament to his obedience to Allah. Allah, in His infinite mercy, replaced Ismail (AS) with a ram, establishing a tradition that continues to this day.
Udhiyah 2025 is the modern-day continuation of this sacred practice. Muslims who are financially able are encouraged to give Qurbani as a way to honor the command of Allah, demonstrate humility, and share their blessings with the less fortunate.
According to Islamic teachings, the meat from the sacrificed animal is divided into three parts:
- One-third for your own family,
- One-third for friends and relatives,
- One-third for the poor and needy.
This division ensures that the joy of Eid is shared by all, regardless of economic status.
