What could you do during this

month?

1) Fast during the first 10 days: one fast during these days is

equal to the fasting of one complete year (Prophet Muhammad

To fast on the 9thof dhul hijjah is highly recommended:

according to a hadith, the fast of this day becomes a cause of

forgiveness for sins committed in one year.

extra worship (whatever is within your ability): the worship of

one night is equal to the worship of laylatul qadr (Prophet

Why do Muslims sacrifice an animal on this day

During the celebration of Eid al-Adha, Muslims commemorate and

remember Ibrahim's trials, by themselves slaughtering an animal. This

action is very often misunderstood by those outside the faith.

Allah (God) has given Muslims the power over animals and allowed them

to eat meat, but only if they pronounce His name at the solemn act oftaking life. By saying the name of Allah at the time of slaughter, they are

reminded that life is sacred.

The meat from the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha is mostly given away to others.

The act symbolizes their willingness to give up things that are of benefit to

them or close to their hearts, in order to follow Allah's commands. It alsosymbolizes their willingness to give up some of their own bounties, in order

to strengthen ties of friendship and help those who are in need. They

recognize that all blessings come from Allah, and they should open their

hearts and share with others.

The aim of sacrifice, like all other fundamentals of Islam, is to

imbibe piety and self righteousness.

It also promotes the spirit of sacrifice for a right cause.

To explain its purpose, Allah says in the Quran. It is not their

meat, nor their blood, that reaches God, It is their piety that

reaches God?: (22:37)

Back when and is still the case in many places, cattle, livestock

etc, is wealth and livelihood for many people. To give up some

of that is a huge sacrifice for them.

For us its often the funds we give up in order to fulfil this task,that is our sacrifice.

Please be sure to fulfil this if it is compulsory for you
