Eid ul Adha is the largest muslim holiday that muslims celebrate around the world once a year. Eid ul Adha is also known as Qurbani Eid- because muslims perform Qurbani on this holiday. Qurbani means sacrifice- specifically to please Allah(swt). Muslims give Qurbani in remembrance and honor of Prophet Ibrahim and his son, Ismail. The animal sacrificed is symbolic of how Prophet Ibrahim almost sacrificed his beloved son to please Allah(swt)-till in the last moment, Allah(swt) replaced Ismail's place with a ram. Therefore, Muslims around the world once a year honor this day as Prophet Muhammed(PBUH) used to do by sacrificing an animal.
The aim of sacrifice, like all
other fundamentals of Islam, is to imbibe piety and self-righteousness. It also
promotes the spirit of sacrifice for a right cause. Giving meat to the poor and
destitute as required when doing Qurbani spreads happiness so they may also
enjoy the event of Eid-ul-Adha as a time of celebration and festivities.
Just like every year, HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan, performed qurbani
this year as well, and the meat of which was distributed among the
underprivileged communities throughout Pakistan.
HOPE - A Health NGO in Pakistan,
