Eid al-Adha is right around the corner with many around the country either celebrating tomorrow (June 28) or on Thursday (June 29).
A key part of Eid is the practice of Qurbani. From the outside, Qurbani just seems like a typical form of animal sacrifice, however, there is much more to it than this.
As with many acts in Islam, a key aspect of Qurbani is not the sacrifice, but rather the significant act of charity that follows it. Under Islamic law, once an animal has been slaughtered, one-third of the meat should be kept for the family, a third given to neighbours and a third given to the poor and vulnerable.
