Why do we give Qurbani?
Qurbani, meaning "sacrifice," is mentioned in both the Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ would sacrifice two rams for Qurbani: one for his family and one for the entire Ummah unable to perform Qurbani themselves, known as the “Prophetic Qurbani.”
This sacrifice commemorates the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim عَلَیهِالسَّلام when he was asked to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ismail عَلَیهِالسَّلام.
