Sacrifice

What is Sacrifice?

Sacrifice is the offering of food, objects or the lives of animals to a higher purpose, in particular divine beings, as an act of propitiation or worship.
While sacrifice often implies the ritual killing of an animal, the term offering can be used for bloodless sacrifices of food or artifacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (1)   | Sacrifice

1.Were the Gods sacrificed?

* Horus - In Egypt, in the Heb-Sed festival, the powers of Pharaoh (Horus incarnate) were tested. If found weak, Horus was expected to sacrifice himself by donating his blood to the soil

* Kronos - A man was sacrified annually at the Phoenician feast of Kronos. Kronos had a son, Ieoud who he sacrificed. Ieoud was known as 'the only begotten son of his Father'

* Tammuz - A popular Syrian saviour-God born of a virgin was killed and rose again every spring. Wherever Tammuz was worshipped a human victim in royal robes was killed and eaten, so his body and blood might bring salvation to the community.

2.Who did Abraham sacrifice: Ishmael or Isaac?

This question highlights a foundational narrative variance between the Abrahamic scriptures. The Hebrew Bible (Genesis 22) explicitly names Isaac as the son brought to Mount Moriah for the binding sacrifice. In contrast, while the Quranic text (Surah As-Saffat 37:100-113) does not explicitly name the sacrificial son, the vast majority of mainstream Islamic tradition identifies Ishmael as the intended sacrifice, pointing to the narrative timeline where Abraham is promised Isaac only after passing the ultimate test of his willingness to offer his firstborn.

3.Why do Muslims sacrifice livestock (goat, sheep, cow etc.) on Eid Al-Adha?

This annual global ritual commemorates the absolute devotion of Abraham, who was commanded by God in a vision to offer his eldest son as a sacrifice. Mainstream Islamic tradition identifies this son as Ishmael, noting that when Abraham demonstrated his complete willingness to obey, God miraculously substituted a ram in the boy's place. The meat from the sacrificed livestock is systematically divided into three equal parts to be shared with family, neighbors, and the impoverished.
