Rulings Of Sacrifice - UDHIYAH -1st
Allah says, in Quran
This day, I have perfected your religion for you,
completed My Favour upon you,
and have chosen for you Islâm as your religion.
(Al-Maeda-3)
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
{In the name of Allah, praise be to Allah, and may His peace and blessings be upon His messenger
{ Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allaah and His blessings}
book by Muhammad Salih Al-Munajjid
Udhiyah
is one of the great rituals of Islam, in which we remember the Unity of
Allaah, His blessings upon us and the obedience of our father Ibraaheem
to his Lord, and in this act of udhiyah there is much goodness and
blessing. So the Muslim must pay attention to its great importance. The
following is a brief look at this important ritual. Udhiyah
refers to the animal (camel, cattle or sheep) that is
sacrificed as an act of worship to Allaah, in the country in which the
person offering the sacrifice lives, during the period from after the
Eid prayer on the Day of Nahr (Eid al-Adhaa) until the last of the Days of Tashreeq (the 13th day of Dhu'l-Hijjah), with the intention of offering sacrifice. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord anf sacrifice (to Him only)."
[al-Kawthar 108:2]
"Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord anf sacrifice (to Him only)."
[al-Kawthar 108:2]
"Say (O Muhammad): `Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living and my
dying are for Allaah, the Lord of the `Aalameen (mankind, jinns and
all that exists)."
dying are for Allaah, the Lord of the `Aalameen (mankind, jinns and
all that exists)."
[al-Anaam 6:162]
"And for every nation We have appointed religious ceremonies, that
they may mention the Name of Allaah over the beast of cattle that He
has given them for food. And your God is One God, so you must submit
to Him Alone (in Islam)"
they may mention the Name of Allaah over the beast of cattle that He
has given them for food. And your God is One God, so you must submit
to Him Alone (in Islam)"
[al-Hajj 22:34]Udhiyyah
is a confirmed Sunnah according to the majority of scholars (some
scholars say that it is waajib or obligatory; this will be discussed in
more detail below).
The
basic principle is that it is required at the appointed time from one
who is alive on behalf of himself and the members of his household, and
he may include in the reward for it whoever he wishes, living or dead.
With
regard to udhiyah on behalf of one who is dead, if the deceased
bequeathed up to one third of his wealth for that purpose, or included
it in his waqf (endowment), then these wishes must be carried out,
otherwise, if a person wishes to offer a sacrifice on behalf of someone
who has died, this is a good deed and is considered to be giving charity
on behalf of the dead. But the Sunnah is for a man to include the
members of his household, living and deed, in his udhiyah, and when he
slaughters it, he should say,
"Allaahumma haadha anni wa an aali bayti (O Allaah, this is on behalf of myself and the members of my household"
He does not have to make a separate sacrifice on behalf of every deceased person.
"Allaahumma haadha anni wa an aali bayti (O Allaah, this is on behalf of myself and the members of my household"
He does not have to make a separate sacrifice on behalf of every deceased person.
The
scholars agreed that sacrificing the animal and giving its meat in
charity is better than giving its value in charity, because the
Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to make the
sacrifice, and he did not do anything but that which is best and most
befitting.This is the opinion of Abu Haneefah, al-Shaafai and Ahmad.

Dhanteras marks the first day of five-days-long Diwali Festival. Dhanteras Festival,
also known as Dhantrayodashi or Dhanwantari Triodasi, falls on the
auspicious thirteenth lunar day of Krishna Paksha in the Hindu month of
Kartik (October/November). In the word Dhanteras, "Dhan" stands for
wealth. On Dhanteras Goddess Laxmi is worshiped to provide prosperity
and well being. Hence Dhan Teras holds a lot more significance for the
business community.
It takes place two days before Diwali to honor Dhanvantari, an incarnation of Vishnu.
Dhanteras is observed on the 13th day of Krishna Paksh in the month of Karthik. This is also known as Yamadeep. It is said that after the Sagar Manthan between the Devtaas and Asuras, Dhanvantari came out of the sea with an Amrit Kalash. That is why, Dhanteras is also known as Dhanvantari Jayanti.

Dhanteras Legengd and Rituls
Legend
The Yama legend-
There are two legends associated with this festival. The first one goes
like there was a 16 year old son of King Hima whose horoscope predicted
his early death by a snake-bite on the fourth day of his wedding.
The
newly-wed wife of the prince was cunning. She did not allow him to
sleep on the fourth day of the wedding and she laid out all her
ornaments accompanied with heaps of gold and silver coins at the
entrance of the sleeping chamber and lit lamps all over the place. Then
she started singing melodious songs to keep her husband from falling
asleep.
When Yamraj (Death God) came to take the prince in the guise of snake, his eyes got dazzled and he was temporarily blinded by the sharp light of lamps and jewellery. The serpent was not able to enter the chamber till morning and therefore, he climbed on top of the gold coin heap and sat there the entire night enjoying the songs sung by prince’s wife. In the morning, he silently went away.
This saved the young prince from his early death and since then this day is celebrated as Dhanteras or Yamadeepdaan. In few houses ladies light earthen lamps or ‘deep’ and these are kept burning throughout the night to glorify Yama (the god of Death).

Dhanvantari myth-According to the other legend in the cosmic battle between the gods and the demons when both churned the ocean for ‘amrit’ or divine nectar, Dhanvantari – the physician of the gods and an incarnation of Vishnu – emerged carrying a pot of the elixir. So, according to this mythological tale, the word Dhanteras comes from the name Dhanvantari, the divine doctor.
Rituls
As
Dhanteras is associated with the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, people
draw small footprints with rice flour and vermilion powder throughout
the house right from the entrance (indicating the arrival of Goddess
Lakshmi). As Dhantrayodashi or Dhanteras is considered very auspicious,
people shop for gold, silver and some utensils. To celebrate the
auspicious arrival of Goddess Lakshmi, the homes of people are
illuminated by oil lamps, which are lit throughout the night. Lakshmi
Puja is also an important part of the Dhanteras celebrations. The
Lakshmi-Puja is performed at midnight. Devotional songs, in praise of
Goddess Lakshmi, are sung by the people. Goddess Lakshi is offered
naivedya of sweets, which serve as the auspicious Prasad of the Goddess.
In many parts of South India, there is a tradition of cow worship by
the farmers (on Dhanteras). For farmers, cows signify wealth and are
considered to be the incarnation of Goddess
Lakshmi
