The word Qurban is derived from the word “Qaraba” which means, “very close” literally. In Islamic context, Qurban means Sacrifice. The significance of this is from the offering of Prophet Abraham(as), who prepared to present his son Ismail(as) to Allah, upon having dream of such a command. He prepared to offer his son, but this was a test from Allah, so before he could sloughter his boy, the angels replaced him with a sacrificing animal. To remember this sacrifice of him we, Muslim who can afford to, make an offering to Allah of an animal. This is called Qurbani. It is not an obligation, but necessarily for all who are earning and have enough money to do it. The meat of the animal should be divided into three portions, of which one third is distributed among the poor, another part among relatives and friends, and the third is consumed in the family. Perform Qurban & Aqiqah in Indonesia this year. Distribution of meat slaughtered to the poor and needy families is an act of charity to illustrate the brotherhood in Islam.
