beauty of reverence for Allah, the Almighty, for: “Their flesh and blood does not
reach Allah rather it is piety from you that reaches Him. …” (Koran Ch. 22 verse
37)

This devotion is shown by regard for excellence of quality in value, be the
quantity great or small.

When the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, was asked what
makes for a blessed Pilgrimage, he said: “al-ajj wa-Ithajj (clamour and torrent).”
Clamour refers to the loud voice used in calling: “labbayk” (“Obedient to You
Lord!”), while torrent refers to the flow of blood at the slaughter of a sacrifice.

Ayesha said: “No human action on the day of slaughter is dearer to Allah, the
Almighty than the shedding of blood, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection
with its horns and its hooves; the blood will fall to some point at, which Allah, the
Almighty will stop it reaching the ground. So rejoice with it!”
