'Udhiya' is an Arabic word meaning "blood sacrifice", and 'Qurbani' is an Urdu and Persian word derived from the Arabic word "Qurban" which literally means an act performed to seek Allah's pleasure. It is technically used for the sacrifice of an animal slaughtered for the sake of Allah.

The sacrifice of an animal has always been a recognised form of worship in many religions, but in the 'Shariah' (Islamic sacred law) of our beloved Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him - the sacrifice of an animal has been recognised as a form of worship only during the three days of the month Zul Hijjah, namely the 10th, 11th, and 12th.

Allah Ta'ala says in the Noble Quran:

"Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him) Al- Kauthar (a river in paradise),

"So pray on to thy lord and sacrifice. For he who makes you angry will be cut off."

"And the camels! We have appointed them among the ceremonies of Allah, therein ye have good!"

~ Surah 10 ~

Of all of the physical and spiritual worships the greatest is 'Salaah', and among the worships concerning wealth, sacrifice holds a distinguished position, because the original spirit of sacrifice was to sacrifice the soul. The replacement of an animal was made due to some reasons, as it is clear from the story of Ebrahim - peace and blessings be upon him - and Ismail - peace and blessings be upon him. That is why in other places in the Quran the mention of 'Salaah' is made together with 'Qurbani'. (Tafseer-Uthmaani)
