In recent years there has been a surge in resentment towards Udhiyyah or ritual Qurbani carried out between the 10-12 of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah. Proponents of a ban cite environmental concerns and animal cruelty issues. They believe that since the dream of Ebrahim (alayhis salaatu was salaam) to sacrifice his son was a test of his submission – any other ‘sacrifice’ representing submission aside from bloodletting will do. They also believe that exposing young children to animal slaughter is child-abuse. It is important that we debunk these theories by understanding the core philosophy of ritual animal slaughter, lest contradictory ‘reason’ prevails.

Islam means submission

Qurbani offered by a Muslim signifies that he/she is slave of Allah and will not hesitate once they receive a Divine command to surrender before it, even it be at the price of their life and possessions. When a true Muslim receives such a command from Allah, flaming instincts are tamed, preventing them from indulging in the futile search for the reasoning behind the command. Likewise he/she doesn’t make obedience dependent upon the command's 'reasonableness' as perceived through his/her limited understanding. Knowing that Allah is All-Wise and that his/her own ability to reason cannot encompass the knowledge and wisdom underlying the Divine command, even if he/she cannot find any reason or wisdom behind it. read more

Abu Hurairah RA narrates that once Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam asked Bilal RA at Fajr Salat:

O Bilal!

"Tell me that deed of yours which is most hopeful (for reward) after embracing Islam, for I heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise (in my dream)."

Bilal RA replied:

"I have not done anything extroadinary except that whenever I perform Wudu during the day or night, I Salat (Tahiyatul-Wudu) after that, as much as was written or granted for me." (Bukhari)

One evening after dinner, my five-year-old son, Brian, noticed that his mother had gone out. In answer to his questions, I told him, ‘Mum is at a Tupperware party.’ This explanation satisfied him for only a moment. Puzzled, he asked, ‘What’s a Tupperware party, Dad?’ I’ve always given my son honest answers, so I figured a simple explanation would be the best approach. ‘Well, Brian,’ I said, ‘at a Tupperware party, a group of ladies sit around and sell plastic bowls to each other.’ Brian nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he burst into laughter. ‘Come on, Dad,’ he said. ‘What is it really?’
