So 3 good deeds
specific
in these 10 days.
1 is Hajjina Ummrah and number 2 is
Dhikr, Tahleel, Tahmid and Takbir.
And the third one is Al Uthaya.
Slaughtering the animal or Qurbani.
As we say it in different parts of
the world.
The the word we use should teach us
a lot of the meaning.
Meaning, why it's called Korbani?
In in in the Indo Pak,
communities
or in India and Pakistan, that part of
the world they use the word Korbani. What
does Korbani mean?
Meaning getting closer to Allah. It's from Korb
to get close to Allah.
Slaughtering the animal will get me closer to
Allah
and why is that? Because Allah loves it.
Allah loves
it. When I and you want to get
close to somebody, what do you do?
You say what do they love? I want
to give them a gift. What do they
want?
So they will love me even more, so
they feel I'm special.
And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said
and in Rasul 'alahehis salatu wa salam said
and this is hadith imam Turumidi. He said,
No deed
the son of Adam will do the day
of an nahr, the day of Eid, the
day the first day of Eid, they called
the Ummun Nahr, the day of slaughter.
No good deed.
The day the son of Adam does on
the day of Eid, more beloved to Allah
than
let the blood flow.
Let the blood flow meaning slaughter the animal.
Look at this one.
Now when you are hesitant
to do more than 1,
why should I do it? Should I not
do it? You know, listen to this hadith.
The animal that we will slaughter is gonna
come on the day of judgement. With its
horn.
With its skin and hair.
With its nail.
The whole animal
with all not only the the animal, the
meat and even the horn, even the nails,
even the skin,
everything will be put in the scale of
the human being
to make it heavier.
And the drop of blood that's gonna come
from that
animal when they slaughter.
It will be with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
The value of it with Allah even before
that drop of blood hits the earth.
Make
some
beautify yourself with it or make someone
beautiful or make someone happy, buy it.
Buy this Korvani
or Uthaya,
sacrifice.
Sacrifice.
Do
it as much as you can, if you
can. Again,
if you can and ask Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala to make it easy
because
Allah will not get anything out of its
blood or it is meat.
But he what he wants from it that
we started the animal is the taqwa. Allah
said this in Surah Al Hajj when he
talks about Hajj and he came to in
the verses, came to the part of Hajj
where we slaughter the animal.
Do it as much as you can. If
you cannot afford it, you can't afford it.
But if you can, and actually if you
can, there is a lot of talk about
this
and they and
this is hadith SubhanAllah, Islam,
he said
Rasool alaihi wa sallam said
whomsoever
is capable
and
he did not slaughter
Let him not come.
Let him
not come to our place of prayer.
SubhanAllah,
whomsoever can and he puts the the first
condition.
He with slaughtering an animal is not gonna
be too difficult on him to live. Sa'a
mean he has little bit extra.
Let him slaughter the animal
and the animal is a 3 kinds.
I'm gonna quickly go through this just for
us all to learn. There is a camel
and there is a cow and there is
the sheep,
the sheep or the goat.
And scholars differ
which one is better.
Some says it's the camel, then the cow,
then the sheep, and then based upon hadith
of Rasulullah
where he mentioned these animals, some says it's
the other way around. The whole idea is
slaughter.
In his Hajj,
he
gave as Qurbani or Hadi actually. Saqal Hadi.
For Hajj 100.
He slaughtered himself
SubhanAllah with his
beautiful hand,
63.
And he asked Sayyidina Ali to slaughter the
rest.
Whomsoever resuscitate
my sunnat, he loved me.
This is his sunnah and
this is a sunnah of Sayyidina Ibrahim.
We are all following in his footsteps.
Let's slaughter.
And if we can,
you can you can do more, you can
do more. You can do the 100, do
the 100. You can do the 63, do
the 63.
One minimum. For yourself, one is enough. For
yourself and the people of your house,
one is enough. You want to do more,
you want to do more. You want to
do it as extra for the
other people, the people who passed away? Yes,
you can. Absolutely.
The one that is for yourself
and for your family, the that one,
most scholars will tell you it needs to
be in the town or city where you
live.
And normally 1 third you eat, 1 third
your gift, give it as a gift, and
1 third you actually give it as a
charity.
That's his Sunnah.
And I am doing this,
this is a good deed, this is beloved
to Allah, this is I want to get
close to Allah, I do it the way
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wanted.
And this is his sunnah, and some school
of thoughts say it is an obligation.
Actually, Imam Abu Hanifa say it is an
obligation to slaughter the animal, and the majority
of the opinion say it is
a sunnah muakad.
Rasool alaihi wa sallam
did it did it and it is stressed
upon, highly recommended to do. So do it.
Alhamdulillahi
rabba. And there's plenty of opportunity
to do it. Do 1 in your place
where you are living. You wanna do more,
then you do it. There is a plenty
of need all over the world. SubhanAllah. May
Allah
makes it easy for everybody.
