The word is related in spelling and meaning to the Hebrew: קרבן, romanized: qorbān "offering" and Classical Syriac: ܩܘܪܒܐ, romanized: qurbānā "sacrifice", through the cognate Arabic triliteral as "a way or means of approaching someone" or "nearness". The word is a cognate in several Semitic languages, being composed of the triconsonantal Semitic root q-r-b (ق ر ب) meaning closeness, with the oldest attestation being the Akkadian aqriba. In Islamic Law, udhiyah would refer to the sacrifice of a specific animal, offered by a specific person, on specific days to seek God's pleasure and reward. While the word and concept are similar as in other Abrahamic religions, there is notably an opposition of the burnt offering, with the spoils of the sacrifice being distributed as food to the impoverished and family of the one making the offering for consumption.Ī commonly used word which may encompass qurban is uḍḥiyah ( أضحية). The concept and definition of the word is derived from the Qur'an, the sacred scripture of Muslims, and is the analog of korban in Judaism and kourbania in Christianity. Qurbanī ( Arabic: قربانى), Qurban, or uḍḥiyah ( أضحية) as referred to in Islamic law, is a ritual animal sacrifice of a livestock animal during Eid al-Adha.
