Prophet Muhammad (saw) was once asked by his companions: “O Prophet of Allah! What is this Udhiya/Qurbani?” He replied, “It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (as) and commemorates" (Hadith-Ibn Majah). This has been performed from the time of Ibrahim (as) and commemorates also Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son, who was replaced by an animal at the time of sacrifice. In the Qur'an, the final testament revealed for mankind, Allah says: "it is neither their flesh nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that reaches Him." (Qur'an, 22:37)
