Getting Closer to Allah: Sacrificing a sacrifice aims to get closer to Allah. Sacrifice is considered an expression of one's loyalty and obedience to God.

Following in the Footsteps of Prophet Abraham: Sacrifice reminds us of the loyalty and submission of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) in Islam. Sacrificing a sacrifice is seen as reliving Abraham's obedience to God's command.

 

Increasing the Good Deeds: Sacrificing a sacrifice means increasing the good deeds. According to Islamic belief, the reward of worship done with good intentions and sincerity is great.

Those who do not have the opportunity to do alms and charity during the sacrifice can gain reward by doing other charitable works.
