Aqiqah Qurban: A Gift of Gratitude

What is Aqiqah Qurban?

Aqiqah Qurban is a Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (٬للهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَمَ), performed as an act of gratitude for the blessing of a newborn child. It involves the sacrifice of an animal, symbolizing devotion to Allah and compassion for humanity. This act embodies the values of thankfulness, care, and charity deeply rooted in our faith.

The Prophet Muhammad (٬للهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَمَ) said:

"For the child, there is an Aqiqah. Sacrifice an animal for him and remove the harm from him."

(Sunan Abu Dawood, Hadith 2836)

Performing Aqiqah reflects the parents' gratitude to Allah while sharing blessings with those in need.

The Procedure

The Aqiqah sacrifice is traditionally performed on the seventh day after the child’s birth. If circumstances delay it, it remains a noble Sunnah and can be performed later. As narrated by Aisha (RA):

"The Messenger of Allah (٬للهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَمَ) commanded us to slaughter two sheep for a boy and one for a girl."

(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith 3163)

Why Choose Aqiqah Qurban?

Performing Aqiqah is not just an act of worship but also a means of spreading blessings and aiding those in need. The Prophet Muhammad (٬للهِ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَمَ) said:

"The best of deeds are those that bring happiness to a believer."

(Musnad Ahmad)

Furthermore, it is a reminder of the blessings of Allah upon the family and a way to teach the value of giving. As the Quran says:

"So eat of them and feed the poor and the needy." (Surah Al-Hajj: 36)

This act not only strengthens our gratitude but also nurtures the bonds within our community.
