| Udhiya (Qurbani) What is Udhiya ? ' Udhiya' is An Arabic Word Meaning " Blood Sacrifice", And 'Qurbani' is An Urdu And Persian Word Derived From The Arabic Word " Qurban " Which Literally Means An Act Performed To Seek Allah Ta'ala's Pleasure. It is Technically Used For The Sacrifice Of An Animal Slaughtered For The Sake Of Allah Ta'ala. The Sacrifice Of An Animal Has Always Been A Recognised Form Of Worship in Many Religions, But in the 'Shariah' (Islamic Sacred Law) Of The Last And Final Messenger Of Allah Ta'ala (Peace Be Upon Him) The Sacrifice Of An Animal Has Been Recognised As A Form Of ibadah (Worship) During The Three Days Of The Month Zul Hijjah, Namely The 10th, 11th, And 12th . This is To Commemorate The Unparalleled Sacrifice Offered By The Prophet Sayyidna Ibrahim, Alayhi Salam, When He, in Pursuance To A Command Of Allah Ta'ala Conveyed To Him in A Dream, Prepared Himself To Slaughter His Beloved Son, Sayyidna Isma'il, Alayhi Salam, And Actually intended To Do So, But Allah Ta'ala The Almighty, After Testing His Submission, Sent Down A Sheep And Saved His Son From The Logical Fate Of Slaughter. It is From That incident That The Sacrifice Of An Animal Became An Obligatory Duty To Be Performed By Every Muslim Who Has The Means To Do it.
