The
Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"There aren't any days greater,
nor any days in which deeds done in them are more beloved to Allah Most
High, than these ten days. So, increase in them the saying of Tahleel (La
ilaha ill Allah), and Takbeer (Allahu Akbar) and Tahmeed (Alhamdu lillah)."
(Reported by Imam Ahmad
narrated from Ibn 'Umar)
The Qurbani (Eid
Sacrifice) is one of the great sunnah's of prophet Ibrahim (as) during the
days of Hajj.
The prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
was asked 'What is Qurbani?', He answered “It is the sunnah of your father
Ibrahim (as), for every hair of the Qurbani you will receive a reward from
Allah”.
(hadith - Ibn Maja and Tirmidhi).
In the
month of Dhu al-Hijjah the Qurbani (sacrifice) is carried out by millions of
Muslims, following the example of Prophet Ibrahim (as)
*IDARAH MAAREF-UL-QURAN*
has 05 consecutive years of experience in this regard. Fresh Qurbani meat
is distributed in various MADARIS Central Jail and to those in great need.
in the days of Eid-Ul-Duaha.
"It is
neither their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah, it is your piety
that reaches Him". (Ch:22
V:37)
The Time of Sacrifice
The
Blessed Messenger (peace be upon him)
said:
"Whoever slaughters (the animal)
before the Eid Prayer, has slaughtered it for himself and whoever has
slaughtered after Eid Prayer, has perfected his sacrifice and followed the
practice of Muslims"
The Beloved Messenger (peace be upon him) also said:
"Who slaughtered before (Eid-Ul-Adha)
prayer he must give sacrifice anew".
(Bukhari)
