Abstract: This study aims to analyze the values of Qurbani from a worship, economic, and social perspective, as well as explain how these values provide benefits to Muslims and society at large. This research was conducted through literature analysis and relevant data collection. This research discusses the values of qurbani in a worship, economic, and social perspective. Qurbani is an important practice in Islam that involves animal sacrifice as a form of worship to Allah. This research aims to understand the benefits and implications of qurbani values in these three dimensions. In the perspective of worship, qurbani allows Muslims to get closer to Allah, increase faith, and strengthen spiritual ties with Him. The sacrifice also reminds Muslims of the sacrifice of the Prophet Ibrahim and strengthens their religious awareness. The legal basis for qurbani worship can be found in the Quran. From an economic perspective, qurbani has significant benefits. Through the distribution of sacrificial meat to the poor and those in need, qurban encourages a more equitable distribution of wealth in society. This helps reduce social inequality and create economic justice. In addition, qurban also provides economic opportunities for sacrificial animal breeders and traders, which can increase their income. The legal basis for the economic implications of qurbani can be found in the hadith that encourages helping the poor and poor. From a social perspective, qurban has the values of solidarity and brotherhood. Through the distribution of sacrificial meat, qurbani strengthens social bonds between Muslims, creates a sense of unity, and reduces social disparities. Qurbani also helps build an individual's social psyche, fostering empathy, care, and social awareness. The legal basis for the social values of qurbani can be found in the Quran, which emphasizes the importance of helping others. This study shows that qurbani worship has a wide range of benefits from a worship, economic, and social perspective. Understanding and implementing these qurbani values can make a positive contribution in strengthening spiritual life, building economic justice, and encouraging social solidarity in Muslim society.
