The significance of uttering the name of Allah while sacrificing.
At the root of the necessity of uttering the name of Allah while sacrificing is a deep subtle reason. There is a special need to be aware of that and to pay attention to it.
Idolaters and ignorant people used to pronounce the names of their gods while sacrificing. In Islam, provision has been made to pronounce the name of Allah in that place. Because when the polytheists take the names of their deities while sacrificing, what can the people who believe in one God not do at the same time?
Secondly, the animals are the creation of one God just like human beings. In order for people to take their lives, it is absolutely necessary to have the permission of Allah. If the name of Allah is uttered during the sacrifice, this permission is declared. At the moment he is saying, I am doing this not because they are weak, disabled and helpless. I want to oppress them. Rather, the act of sacrificing that I am doing is only with the permission of Allah. I hunt with his name and I eat with his name.
