“Qurbani” (also known as “udhiyah”) is the sacrificial slaughter of an animal during the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha.
The qurbani commemorates how the Prophet Abraham was willing to slaughter his son out of obedience to God.
The qurbani typically involves a goat, sheep, or other livestock animal. It is an obligation for all Muslims who can financially afford it. After the sacrifice, the meat of the animal is distributed among the family, friends, and those in need.

The Islamic calendar, also known as the “Hijiri calendar,” has 12 months. Two examples are Ramadan and Dhu al-Hijjah, when Eid al-Adha takes place.

The names of the Islamic months have different meanings. For example, Dhu al-Hijjah means “the one of pilgrimage.”
