Classess and events are beginning to fill up our events listing and we hope you are benefitting from all these happenings.

So read on.

Why Qurban?

After the Aidilfitri Celebrations, Muslims here and around the world prepares for the next Eid. In this eid, we are always reminded about the sacrifices made by Prophet Ibrahim & Prophet Ismail. Since then thousands or millions of Muslim around the world would perform the Qurban.

Why Qurban is important ?

Rasulullah (s.a.w.) said: "On the 10th of Zil-Hijjah, there is no better act in the view of Allah than shedding the blood (of slaughtered animals). And verily sacrifice earns the approbation of Allah even before the drop of blood (of the slaughtered animal) falls on the ground. Hence you should offer it in good spirit. For every hair of the sacrificial animal, there is a blessing."

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (r.a.) reports that the Apostle of Allah (s.a.w.) has said : "Whoever has the capacity to sacrifice and does not do so, should not come to the place where the Eid prayer is offered." (Ibn Majah).

WHO IS OBLIGED TO OFFER THE SACRIFICE?

'Qurbani' is 'wajib' (compulsory) according to Imam Abu Hanifah (and sunnat-e-muakkadah according to other Imams) upon every 'mukeem' (domiciled) and who possesses 613.35 grams of silver or its equivalent in money, personal ornaments, stock in trade or any other form of wealth which is surplus to his/her basic needs. Each adult member of a family who possesses that much wealth must perform his/her own 'Qurbani' separately.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (r.a.) reports that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) lived in Madinah Munawarah for ten years and performed 'Qurbani' every year. (Tirmizi)

Note: Despite the fact that the Prophet (s.a.w.) was not obliged to sacrifice as he never possessed the required amount of wealth, he still did so as can be conceived from the above Hadith.

CAN A SACRIFICE BE MADE ON BEHALF OF SOMEONE ELSE?

A sacrifice can be made on behalf of others such as minor offspring. This offering is not 'wajib' (compulsory) but is 'mustahab' (desirable). Similarly if one decides to sacrifice on behalf of the spouse or a father decides to sacrifice on behalf of an adult offspring (apart from offering his/her own 'Qurbani') can do so with their permission. A sacrifice can also be made on behalf of a deceased Muslim. This can be classified into three categories:

• If the deceased had made a will for a sacrifice then, it is permissible to sacrifice to fulfil the will but is incumbent to give all the meat of the sacrificed animal to the poor and needy (those who are entitled to receive 'Zakaat').
• Whether or not the deceased had made this will, his/her relative or friends can make a 'nafl' (voluntary) sacrifice from their own money; the meat of this sacrificed animal can be partaken by the rich and poor alike.
• One may make a voluntary sacrifice from one's own wealth for the deceased persons and this meat can partaken by all, rich and poor.

In a 'Hadith' it is stated.
Hazrat Hanash (r.a.) reported: I saw Hazrat Ali (r.a.) sacrificing two rams. I asked him, "What is this?" He said: "Verily the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) left instruction to me to sacrifice on his behalf, and so I am sacrificing on his behalf. (Tirmizi, Abu Daud)

Note: Rasulullah (s.a.w.) is so generous that he had sacrificed on behalf of his whole 'Ummah' and we see here Hazrat Ali (r.a.) sacrificing for Rasulullah (s.a.w.) after he has passed away. We learn from this that we should also put a share of Rasulullah (s.a.w.) in our sacrifice.
