From the language context, korban or sacrifice means to draw closer, while in technical terms, it means to perform religious obligations or obey Allah the Al-Mighty’s command in order to be closer to Allah the Al-Mighty.
At the end of the Hajj, Muslims throughout the world celebrate the holiday of Eid al-Adha . Allah has given us power over animals and allowed us to eat meat, but only if we pronounce His name at the solemn act of taking life. Muslims slaughter animals in the same way throughout the year. By saying the name of Allah at the time of slaughter, we are reminded that life is sacred.
