QURBANI IS A PRACTICE COMMANDED BY ALLAH (SWT):

So turn in prayer towards your Lord and sacrifice (animals). (108.2)

There is nothing dearer to Allah during the days of Qurbani than the sacrificing of animals. The sacrificed animal shall come on the Day of judgment with its horns, hair, and hooves (to be weighed). The sacrifice is accepted by Allah before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore sacrifice with an open and happy heart. (Tirmizi, Ibne Majah)
