"For every nation We prescribed a way of sacrifice so that they may pronounce the name of Allah over the cattle which He has given them for food, but the object is one and the same; to remember that your god is only one God, to submit yourself to Him as Muslims, and O Prophet, give good new to the humble, who hearts tremble at the mention of Allah, who endure adversity with patience, who establish Salah and spend in charity out of what We have provided for them. We have made the sacrifice of camels and cows among the rites of Allah, for there is much good for you in them. Therefore, pronounce the name of Allah over them while standing and when they fall down on their side after their slaughter, when their movement completely stops, then eat of their meat, feed the contended (those who do not ask) and the beggars (poor who ask). Thus have We subjected them to you so that you may be grateful. It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that reaches Him. Thus, He has subjected these animals to you so that you may glorify Allah for giving you guidance, and O' Prophet, give good news to the doers of good. Surely, Allah wards off evil from those who are true believers; for certainly Allah does not love any one who is treacherous, ungrateful." Quran, Al-Hajj, 22: 34-38
