Qurbani
Qurbani, or Udhiyah, is a sacred act of worship performed during the blessed days of Eid al-Adha, commemorating the devotion and obedience of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) to Allah’s command.
Allah (SWT) reminds us in the Qur’an:
“Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you.”
(Surah Al-Hajj, 22:37)
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of Qurbani, saying:
“There is nothing dearer to Allah during the days of sacrifice than the sacrificing of animals. The sacrificed animal shall come on the Day of Judgment with its horns, hair, and hooves. Indeed, the blood reaches Allah before it even reaches the ground. So, purify yourselves with it.”
(Sunan Ibn Majah, 3126)
Performing Qurbani is not just a tradition but an expression of our faith, gratitude, and willingness to share our blessings with those in need.

Wacib Qurbani
According to the Hijri Calendar, the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th days of the Dhul Hijjah is Eid-ul Adha (The Feast of the Sacrifice). It is Wajib (Compulsory) for every Muslim who possess Nisab (minimum amount of wealth requiring them to pay Zakat) according to the Hanafi school of thought. The Qurbani that is sacrificed, is sacrificed for the person who slaughtered it, and it is hoped that with the first blood, all the sins of the owner of the Qurbani will be forgiven.
Adaq Qurbani
An Adaq Qurbani is when a person promises to Allahu SWT to perform a Qurbani under a condition that they perform a certain act. Upon the completion of that act, it must be executed.
Aqiqah Qurbani
The sacrifice offered for a newborn baby as a gratitude to Allâh (Ta`ala) is called Aqîqah. It is Mustahab (and Sunnah according to Al Aimmah Al-Thalathah). It can be performed any time after the birth of the child but more favourable on the seventh day.
Nafilah Qurbani
It is the Qurbani that is performed aside from Vaceeb and Fardh for precise intentions. Performing Qurbani is a form of gratitude shown towards Allahu SWT for all the offerings and blessings.
Sheefah Qurbani
Sheefa Qurbani for someone who is ill. Because Allah-u swt., in the verse, "Indeed, Allah is with those who are patient." He commands.

There are many spiritual benefits in making sacrifice a means for the healing we want from Allah swt. Almighty.
