During Dhul Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims relive the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail, for the sake of God by slaughtering a goat, sheep, cow or camel. The is the wisdom behind the meaning of Qurbani which is Sacrifice. The meat from the sacrificial animal (udhiyah) is then distributed to those most in need. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days” Sahih al-Bukhari
