    Qurbani

    Uploaded by

    Shahzad Shameem
    The document discusses the Islamic practice of animal sacrifice, or qurbani, during Eid al-Adha. It argues that animal sacrifice is not ordained in the Quran and is instead a pagan ritual. Killing millions of animals on one day hurts food production and resources. The document also questions the common belief that Muslims sacrifice animals in memory of Prophet Ibrahim's sacrifice of his son Ismail, noting that the Quran does not mention any ram or animal being sacrificed, only calling it a "momentous sacrifice." Instead, Eid al-Adha should commemorate Hajj and foster unity, justice and equity among humanity.

    When around us WOMEN are selling their bodies, even some selling their

    kids, peoples are forced to sale their Human Organs to feed their kids,
    beloved one and we do Qurbani. We forget the meaning of QURBANI. It
    is very much present in the word of Qurbani.

    To control our own desires, customs and feed the Sufferer is called
    Qurbani. To help, assist other while keeping your own desires limited.

    How even ALLAH the almighty will accept our QURBANI even it is going
    be in HIS name, when the peoples around us, in our Mohallas or even in
    Relatives are suffering the most.

    Please read this and THINK, think and think again...?

    "QURBANI", THE IMAMIST ANIMAL SACRIFICE


    by Dr. Shabbir

    Muslims become a laughing stock and waste billions of dollars every year when they
    "sacrifice" animals, generally on streets.

    This pagan practice is nowhere ordained in the Qur'an.


    Slaughtering millions of animals on a single day grievously hurts the
    productivity of potential animal generations, an important food and
    industrial resource.

    Udhia = Qurbani = Animal Sacrifice. Blood sacrifice is strictly a


    Pagan and Biblical ritual supposed to please God. He does not
    prescribe it at all. Only camels may be slaughtered at Hajj, and only
    in Makkah for the pilgrims to host one another (22:36). NAHR strictly
    refers to the sacrifice of a camel.

    IS ANIMAL SACRIFICING THE COMMEMORATION OF HAZRAT IBRAHIM?


    There is a rampant belief among Muslims that they slaughter animals: sheep, goat,
    cow, camel in memory of Ibrahim's a. s. attempted sacrifice of his son Ismail a.s. That
    Allah saved Ismael a. s. by replacing him with a ram sent from heaven. Does Allah
    play games with His servants? How much more Biblical can one get?

    THE MOMENTOUS SACRIFICE - NO RAM, NO ANIMAL:


    37:102 And when he was old enough to strive along with him, Abraham
    said, "O My dear son! I have a vision that I must give you to a life
    of test and tribulation for a Noble cause. So look, what do you
    think?" He said, "O My father! Do what you are commanded. God willing,
    you will find me of the steadfast."
    ['Zibh' & 'Zabh' = Sacrifice = Disregarding comfort for a Noble
    cause]

    37:103 As both of them had surrendered themselves (to Allah), he made


    Ismail prostrate on his forehead in gratitude. [Contrary to popular
    tradition Abraham never envisioned or intended to slaughter his son]
    37:106 This was indeed a Trial, clear in itself.

    [Leaving the prestigious office of Chief Priesthood in Babylon and now


    the comfort of Syria for the wilderness of the Valley of Makkah]

    37:107 We exchanged his life for a Momentous Sacrifice. [Please notice


    here the absence of the Biblical and the traditional myth of a 'ram'
    sent from the heavens. Also, note that slaughtering of a sheep or
    goat, by no means, can be considered a Momentous Sacrifice. 14:37,
    37:102]

    WHY SHOULD WE CELEBRATE EID-UL-ADHHA?


    Because it is the culmination of Hajj designed to be the Glorious
    Annual International Conference of the representatives of all humanity
    to foster brotherhood, justice and equity among all, and devise ways
    to make this planet a better place to live.

    Think of the United Nations with all its failures in justice and equity. How about
    United Mankind with Divinely directed morality, brotherhood and justice?
    (2:196-203, 3:96-97, 22:27-28). Currently the high institution of Hajj
    has been reduced to a senseless ritual involving much chaos, waste of
    wealth and person with pagan activities going on. Yet, contrary to the
    Qur'an, most Muslims think that "performing" Hajj will erase all their
    sins of a lifetime and make them sinless as if they were newly born!
