Do Muslims Give Offerings to their God?

Answer 1

First let us clear up this wrong answer. The GOD of The Bible, the GOD of Christians has his only begotten Son the Lord Jesus Christ. Who died for the sins of the world and rose again the 3rd day leaving an empty tomb.

Allah has NO son. Allah neither begets nor is begotten. So Allah is NOT the same GOD as the Bible or of the Christians.

The word allah simply means "the god" literally translated.

Answer 2

First of all, God of Muslims is the same God for Christians and Jews.

The answer is yes. Muslims give offerings to Allah (Arabic word for God) to get Allah's blessings, forgiveness, support, acceptance in His Paradise, and saving from His Hell fire.

- Like all deeds in Islam,the most important condition in giving offerings that it must be offered with a sincere intention of being offered to Allah & only to Allah, & just for His sake. This intention is in conformity with the main Islamic bedrock, Monotheism.

*. Offerings could include:

- Charities to the poor. However, charities are assured a lot in the Islamic teachings.

- Taking care of the needy and helpless people.

- Sacrificing animals only for Allah's sake at different occasions or even without an occasion , examples:

1. The ritual sacrifices in Eid Al-Udha in remembrance to the amazing obedience of prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to Allah when He tested his faith by asking him to sacrifice his son.

(It is not their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah. it is your piety that reaches Him..)

Holy Quran,(20:37)

2. sacrifices at pligrimage.

(And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways;

28. "That they may witness the benefits (provided) for them, and celebrate the name of Allah, through the Days appointed, over the cattle which He has provided for them (for sacrifice): then eat ye thereof and feed the distressed ones in want)

Holy Quran,(22 : 27-28).

3. sacrifices when babies are born.

4. For 'Nazr' or vows that must be fulfilled.

(They perform (their) vows)

Holy Quran,(76:7)

To conclude with these verses, the almighty Allah says what means in the English translation:

(They perform (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil flies far and wide.

8. And they feed, for the love of Allah, the indigent, the orphan, and the captive,-

9. (Saying),"We feed you for the sake of Allah alone: no reward do we desire from you, nor thanks. 10. "We only fear a Day of distressful Wrath from the side of our Lord." 11. But Allah will deliver them from the evil of that Day, and will shed over them a Light of Beauty and (blissful) Joy).

Holy Quran,(76:7-11)

Note: all Islamic teachings regarding this issue must be applied, e.g. It's strictly prohibited for Muslims to sacrifice to anyone other than Allah or to eat from such kind of sacrifices ..etc.

Example:

(Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah...).

Holy Quran,(5:3)
