Dear Islamic brothers! It is a moment of concern for those people who are capable of performing their Wajib Qurbani but do not do so. Is the fact of them being deprived of the benefits of sacrificing an animal a small thing? On top of that, they have become sinners. It is stated in Fatawa Amjadiyyah, Volume 3, Page 315, “If Qurbani is Wajib upon a person and he does not have the money to perform the Qurbani at that moment, then he must take a loan or sell something in order to sacrifice an animal.”

(Fatawa Amjadiyyah, vol. 3, pp. 315)

May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grant us the ability to perform this great Fard act and to remain obedient to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ throughout our life.

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Purpose of the creation of animals

Dear Islamic brothers! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has created all of creation for some purpose. Similarly, animals have also been created for a certain purpose. We are able to gain meat and milk from these animals; from the milk we are able to make beneficial things such as yoghurt, butter, ghee, etc., from their skin we are able to make warm clothes and shoes. Other than this, we can buy and sell animals in order to create a business; we are able to put our goods on these animals and take it from one place to another and we are able to use these animals as a means of transport. In short, there is much wisdom in the creation of animals.

Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ states in Surah An-Nahl, part 14, verse 66:

وَ اِنَّ لَكُمْ فِی الْاَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةًؕ-نُسْقِیْكُمْ مِّمَّا فِیْ بُطُوْنِهٖ مِنْۢ بَیْنِ فَرْثٍ وَّ دَمٍ لَّبَنًا خَالِصًا سَآىٕغًا لِّلشّٰرِبِیْنَ(۶۶)
