๐ Embracing the Sacred Days of Zulhijjah: Preparing for Qurban with Heart, Intention, and Integrity
Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem.
The month of Zulhijjah marks one of the most spiritually intense and sacred periods in the Islamic calendar.
As Muslims across the world prepare for Hajj and Eid al-Adha, we are reminded of the profound legacy of
Prophet Ibrahim ุนููู ุงูุณูุงู
, who epitomized submission, sacrifice, and absolute trust in Allah.
๐ Why Zulhijjah Matters
โThere are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days [of Zulhijjah].โ
(Disclaimer: This hadith reference uses internal numbering that may differ from published books like Sunnah.com or Darussalam.)
From the 1st to the 10th of Zulhijjah, Muslims are encouraged to engage in
fasting, dhikr, charity, and renewed spiritual focus.
The 9th day, known as the Day of Arafah, holds immense reward for fasting,
while the 10th is the Eid of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) โ the time for performing Qurban.
๐ What is Qurban (Udแธฅiyah)?
Qurban is more than the ritual of animal sacrifice โ it is a direct act of submission and taqwa. As Allah says:
ููู ููููุงูู ุงูููููู ููุญููู ูููุง ููููุง ุฏูู ูุงุคูููุง ููููููฐููู ููููุงูููู ูฑูุชููููููููฐ ู ููููู ู
“It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is your God-consciousness that reaches Him.”
Quran 22:37
The act is meant to emulate the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim ุนููู ุงูุณูุงู and to purify our hearts of attachment to this world.
โ How to Prepare for Qurban:
- Make the right intention โ itโs a form of worship.
- Abstain from cutting hair/nails if youโre offering Qurban (from 1st Zulhijjah till the sacrifice).

The assistant is rooted in a tawhidic epistemology โ rejecting the false divide between โsecularโ and โreligiousโ knowledge.
It supports reflection on Quran, Hadith, Arabic linguistics, and fiqh โ but does not and cannot replace qualified scholars.
