Qurbani, the act of holy slaughtering, is a key ritual performed during Hajj to show obedience and sacrifice to Allah. It takes place in Mina, the valley near Makkah where pilgrims stay after the Day of Arafat.

This act remembers the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) to sacrifice his son as a test of faith, which Allah replaced with an animal instead. Muslims perform Qurbani to express their submission and gratitude to Allah.

The meat from the sacrificed animals is distributed among the poor, friends, and family, highlighting the values of sharing and caring in Islam.

Understanding the importance and location of Qurbani helps students appreciate this significant part of the Hajj pilgrimage and its spiritual meaning.
