i came across a new school of thought about the Qurbani this eid. couple of families thought that the Qurbani of animals is a mass-slaughter which should be not happen, or even banned by the government. they went to the extent of saying that if there is any provision in changes in the laws of Islam, Qurbani should be the first one to be banned.
another group of ppl gives the reference of Chapter 22, Verse 37 of the Quran to support their argument that instead of sacrificing the animal, we should use the money on some charitable purpose, as its the Taqwa and the Devotion which reaches Allah, not the meat or blood.
there have been some voices in the west against this spiritual act, but those were mostly from the non-muslims who don’t really understand the scared nature of it. but for the first time i’ve heard ppl actually expressing this thought in public, which i can only say is coz of the mis-conception or rather lack of any concept at all. Divine laws are not like the constitution of Pakistan which can be amended numerously even imposing PCO to rupture it to their likings.

i just wanna say one thing; i’m glad to know the fact that there aint a Constantine in the Islamic history
