Ibadat 69


Eid means joy. And Azha means sacrifice (Qurbani). Eid-ul Azha
means the joy of sacrifice. The great Prophet (Sm) said- "He who
will sacrifice happily, will get rid of the fire of the hell" (Jahannam).
Further he said "You will get a reward in exchange of each hair of
the animals of Qurbani." So, we shall sacrifice with pleasure.
It is the best thing to divide the meat of Qurbani into three portions.
We keep one portion for ourselves. We give one portion to our
relatives and neighbours, another portion to the poor. So we, the rich
and the poor share this joy.
Eid-ul Azha is celebrated commences on the tenth dayof the month
of Zilhajj. It has two wajibs. To perform the Salat and to sacrifice
the animals.
Like the Salat of Eid-ul Fitr the Salat of Eid-ul-Azha is to be
performed at the same time and in the in the same method. There is
no difference.
The sunnats of Eid-ul Azha are the same as the sunnats of Eid-ul-
Fitr also. There is only one difference. It is Sunnat to eat something
on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr before the Salat of Eid. And it is sunnat to
eat something after the Salat and sacrifice on the day of Eid-ul-
Azha.
