Why Muslims Sacrifice Animals?
This act of Muslims is justified in the memory of their prophet. When Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) (known as Abraham) was willing to slaughter his son (Hazrat Ismail A.S) according to Allah’s order but the Most Merciful was pleased with his willingness only and at the very moment his son was replaced with a sheep (or its kind) by His order. That’s why this is known as “Feast of Sacrifice’. To revive this spirit, Muslims slaughter some specific animals on the day of Hajj and then distribute their meat in accordance with the Islamic teachings. This is to remind Muslims that they should obey the orders of their Lord, even if they have to sacrifice the most beloved being for them. Saying all this wraps up today’s post. May you grasp the true essence of this Eid.
Sincere Wishes
