Our new way of Qurbani..... We choose an organisation, sometimes looking for the cheapest shares, then we go on the internet, press A few buttons or with the click of a mouse or touchscreen, funds are transferred & Qurbani is done . Whew!!! You breathe a sigh of relief & feel like a burdens lifted off you. Then there are some of us who go directly to the farm, not only because it is cheaper but everything is taken care off, from the slaughtering to the slicing & distributing. Its so simple, yet I have a huge yard, but I can't handle all the blood & the mess, so the farm suits me perfectly.
Where have the days gone when we did our own Qurbani, when families gathered to witness & perform this virtuous act? Yes, it was hard work & a lot of cleaning up afterwards, but the real essence of Qurbani was felt & kept alive. It was a joyous, barakah-filled occasion for all especially the children who still remembered every detail for years to come.
But sadly in a few years, Muslims won't know what Qurbani is anymore. Some of our children haven't even witnessed a sheep/ goat getting slaughtered & when they become adults the sunnah of Nabi Ebrahim AS will just be a faraway myth, found only between the pages of Islamic history.
To them Eid ul Adha will signify transferring funds to some relief agency & things will be taken care of. The whole idea of experiencing the act, to witness & to feel what Nabi Ebraheem AS had to face, will all be lost but the greater loss will surely be all the huge rewards that we will be throwing away.
Hazrat Ali RA reports that Rasulullah SAW said to Hazrat Fatimah RA:
“O Fatimah! Go & witness your Qurbani, because the first drop of blood that falls from it causes all your sins to be forgiven..."
Please do your part in keeping the Qurbani spirit alive for the future generations to come. Nabi Ebrahim AS was prepared to sacrifice his beloved son. Surely we can sacrifice our homes & comfort for just one day. Yes, definitely donate & give your Qurbani away to the less priveledge but do this only AFTER u have made ur own Qurbani at home.
If you have family & friends that live iη flats & don't have the place, open your hєart & homes & invite them to make their Qurbani at ur place. In a time, when there is so much disunity & enmity this is A great way of fostering brotherhood & gaining extra rewards for doing so. It is mentioned in a Hadith that Nabi Kareem SAW said (to the effect);
“On no other days are good actions more beloved to Allah Ta’ala than on these days (i.e. the first ten days of Zul-Hijjah) ..." (Bukhari)
PS: please share this post with others. إنشاء الله ,it might be able to change one persons heart to perform their Qurbani at home.
Please forgive me, as this post is not meant to offend anyone.
