“It is neither
their flesh nor their blood that reaches Allah, but what does reach him is the
Taqwa (the sense of obedience) on your part. …”
[Surah Al-Hajj
22 : 37]
VIRTUES OF
QURBAANI
Rasulullah
(Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said:
"There
is nothing dearer to Allah during the days of Qurbaani than the sacrificing of
animals. The sacrificed animal shall come on the Day of Judgement with its
horns, hair, and hooves (to be weighed). The sacrifice is accepted by Allah
before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore sacrifice with an open and happy
heart."
[Tirmidhi, Ibne Majah]

Zaid lbn
Arqam (Radhiyallaahu ‘anhu) related that the Sahabah (Radhiyallaahu ‘anhum) queried: 'O Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi
wasallam): What is Qurbaani?'
He (Sallallaahu
‘alayhi wasallam) replied: 'It is the Sunnah of your father lbraheem (Alayhis Salaam).'
They again
asked: 'What benefit do we derive from
it?'
He (Sallallaahu
‘alayhi wasallam) answered: 'A
reward for every hair (of the sacrificed animal).'
'And (what reward is there for animals with)
wool, O’ Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)?'
they asked.
'A reward', he said, 'for every fibre of the wool.'
[Ibne Majah]

“When a
person slaughters a Qurbaani animal, he is forgiven at the fall of the first
drop of blood, and verily, the animal shall be brought forward on the Day of
Judgment with its blood, meat, limbs, etc. and shall be increased in weight
seventy times, and then placed on the scale of deeds.”
[Kanzul Ummaal]
