Philosophy Behind The Eid Qurbani?

لَن يَنَالَ اللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَاؤُهَا وَلَٰكِن يَنَالُهُ التَّقْوَىٰ مِنكُمْ كَذَٰلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

(Surah Al-Hajj, Verse 37)

Neither the blood nor the meat of the sacrificial animals reach Allah but your *Taqwa* reaches Him [ In fact , the creator does not need the blood or the flesh of the Qurbani animals . He does not eat food . ] ; thus has He made them [ animals] subservient to you, that you may magnify Allah because He has guided you [ to Islam ] and give good news to those who do good (to others by feeding them good food on the special day of Eid ).

What is TAQWA?

Taqwa is that state of your mind when you dislike committing sins and feel excited to perform virtues . Remember, showing off is a sin and feeding the poor and the hungry is a virtue .

The purpose of the Qurbani is not to be cruel to animals but to be kind to the poor, the needy , the hungry and to our less fortunate brothers and sisters in humanity. Doing Qurabani is compulsory for the rich Muslims but the poor Muslims are completely exempted from it . To put it in the nutshell, this Eid wants the rich Muslims to feed the poor Muslims . Alas! The rich Muslims celebrate this Eid without fulfilling its basic purpose.

Human beings are omnivorous by nature . They eat some plants and some animals to live . They are allowed to kill some plants and some animals for food . They can not survive without eating food . A Muslim can help the poor people by feeding them , clothing them , educating them , sheltering them and by meeting them with a smiling face . On this Eid , Muslim is ordered to feed the poor people . However, they can not kill any plant or any animal for fun and pleasure. I am a Muslim . I eat both plants and animals . If I could live without killing any plant or animal, I swear upon Allah , I would never harm any plant or animal. I love all plants and all animals but I love me , myself and my life most .

The remaining 95% must be covered through self-study at home or with the assistance of coaching centers. Unfortunately, not all students can afford the expenses of coaching centers. To address this gap, I have made a humble effort to guide students on what to study in order to succeed in national and state-level exams in English Literature.

Unlike other academic fields, it transcends mere study and ...
