Qurbani means sacrifice. Every year during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah, Muslims around the world slaughter an animal – a goat, sheep, cow or camel – to reflect the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail, for the sake of God.

Kaaba holds great importance in Islam. When pilgrims arrive Mecca, they assemble in Haram Sharif and perform Tawaf around the Holy Kaaba.
