For Muslims undertaking the sacred journey of Hajj, performing Qurbani (sacrifice) is not just a religious obligation but a deeply meaningful ritual that connects them to the profound tradition established by Prophet Ibrahim (A.S). At Al Aswad Travels, we understand the spiritual significance of this practice and offer comprehensive Hajj packages that include professional Qurbani services to ensure your pilgrimage is complete and fulfilling.
Understanding Qurbani During Hajj
Qurbani, also known as Udhiyah, is an integral part of Eid ul Adha celebrations worldwide. For pilgrims performing Hajj, this sacred act takes on special importance as it must be performed in Makkah, far from their homes. The ritual commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's unwavering devotion to Allah when he was commanded to sacrifice what was most precious to him.
As beautifully narrated in Islamic tradition, Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) initially sacrificed many valuable possessions before realizing that Allah was asking for the sacrifice of his beloved son, Ismail. With complete submission to Allah's will, Prophet Ibrahim took his son to the wilderness to fulfill the divine command. In this moment of ultimate devotion, Allah replaced Ismail with a ram from Heaven, demonstrating that the true purpose was to test Ibrahim's faith rather than the sacrifice itself.
Today, this profound act of faith is commemorated during Eid ul Adha, with Hajj pilgrims performing their Qurbani in the blessed lands where this momentous event took place centuries ago.
Who Must Perform Qurbani?
It's important to understand that Qurbani is obligatory for:
- Muslims who are financially stable
- Those who possess wealth equivalent to or exceeding 52.5 tolas of silver (approximately 612.36 grams)
- Adults who have reached maturity according to Islamic law
- Qurbani is not mandatory for:
- Those who do not meet the minimum wealth requirement
- Individuals who are not mature according to Shariah
- Travelers who are far from home (with some exceptions during Hajj)

The Spiritual and Social Significance of Qurbani
Qurbani transcends the physical act of sacrifice—it embodies profound spiritual and social dimensions that lie at the heart of Islamic teachings:
Spiritual Benefits
