The beheading of animals to please the deity is called "qurbani" (fighting). This ritual has nothing to do with the sacrifice itself, which is a real sacrifice. Where man sacrifices his desires, his emotions, his preferences, his caste and even himself for some human and ideal purpose, as in the example of Socrates. Where true human and moral values are sacred and superstition is abhorrent. Killing animals is the exact opposite of this real sacrifice. It satisfies emotions, feelings, preferences and desires, not sacrifices them. In real sacrifice, there is a feeling of inner happiness in one's suffering. On the other hand, animal slaughter is celebrated. The best word for "religious sacrifice" is "nazrana" which people offer at shrines, courts, etc. In the same way animals are killed and their blood is "offered" to the deity. Since there is no such thing as a real "sacrifice" in this act of fighting, to call it a sacrifice is an insult to the great human value that relates to the universal human morality that Kant related to other human beings. " A sense of responsibility, "as opposed to superstition, is" rational. " Under which man sacrifices all his wealth for a great human cause. The goal that man himself has discovered through the process of his own intellectual and moral evolution.
Regarding the practice of sacrificing animal blood to please the gods, Muslims may think that they discovered this "rare" ritual after some great intellectual effort, and that it was only the work of an Arab deity. There is a feature, but the reality is quite the opposite. This ancient superstitious custom has been present in almost all nations and religions of the world. As was the case in Judaism for a long time, it finally came to an end in 2000 BC. The custom of the Jews was that they too, following the footsteps of their ancestor Abraham in the temple built by King Solomon the son of David, would take the oxen and the goats and kill them. When the king of Babylon demolished the Temple of Solomon two thousand years ago, the ceremony stopped for a while. The Temple of Solomon was rebuilt, which resumed the practice of slaughtering animals, but soon after, the Roman Empire destroyed the Temple of Solomon again, after which Judaism abolished this ugly ritual. Just a few years ago, some fanatical Jews were driving their baby goats to the Temple of Solomon when Israeli police arrested them, freed the baby animals, and "backed" the fanatical Jews. The Jews as a whole were saved from this abominable and cruel ancient ritual.
In Christianity there is no such formal ritual for pleasing God, because in Christianity the concept of God was different. According to the Christian faith, God Himself descended to earth, in the form of Christ, lived among the people, was crucified for them, and took up all kinds of sacrifices and offered His sacrifice. Thus abolished all rituals and centralized man, activated the human intellect, and liberated human will. As far as I remember, only one place in the Bible mentions the "sacrifice" of two "ducks" on a particular occasion.
If you go to ancient Greece, there is a story about the killing of animals to please the gods about eight hundred years ago. Various kinds of animals including pigs, cows, oxen, calves, goats, etc. were well decorated and killed for the sake of the gods. In Homer's poem Odyssey, the "pig" was killed to please the god Odysseus. Greece was the cradle of knowledge and wisdom, it was not possible for this abominable ritual to stay there for long, so he left. Pig sacrifice also suggests that they were some different kind of deity.
The same was true of ancient Rome. There were different gods of day and night who lived in the heavens, the blood of goats, sheep and pigs was offered to please them all.
In Hinduism, this ritual was performed during the worship of Goddess Durga, in which buffaloes and goats were sacrificed. Under a clear order of the Bhagavad Gita, the killing of animals was stopped by declaring it inhuman.
In ancient China, there was also this ritual of killing animals in which pigs, goats and even dogs were killed.
In short, this "sacred" but abominable practice of killing animals was present in every culture of the world. As different nations went through the process of intellectual evolution, this abominable ritual came to an end. Interestingly, this ugly act of killing animals is opposed only by philosophers, while religious people in every culture of the world celebrate this act of killing. However, the abandonment of this ritual by all the nations of the world (except one) makes it clear that it is a hateful and ignorant ritual based on superstitious, brutal and hypothetical assumptions from which salvation is required of the modern world. And all religions have gone through the process of intellectual and moral evolution and have got rid of this abominable act. Now the followers of the religion of which this ritual is a part are intellectually, morally, culturally, humanely inferior to the nations of the world, and they still celebrate this abominable act with full "religious fervor." All the nations laugh at this spectacle and feel ashamed and even think that two thousand years ago when we decorated animals, threw flowers on them, killed them to please a fictitious deity. How would you feel if you were taken to!
