command to sacrifice

وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنْسَكًا لِيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَىٰ مَا رَزَقَهُمْ
مِنْ بَهِيمَةِ الْأَنْعَامِ ۗ فَإِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ فَلَهُ أَسْلِمُوا ۗ وَبَشِّرِ
الْمُخْبِتِينَ

And for every people We have shari'ah slaughtered (sacrifice) so that they call on Allah's name for the sustenance that Allah gave them in the form of livestock. Then your Lord is the Almighty God, so surrender you to Him. And deliver (Muhammad) good tidings to those who submit obediently (to Allah),

الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَالصَّابِرِينَ عَلَىٰ مَا 
     أَصَابَهُمْ وَالْمُقِيمِي الصَّلَاةِ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُون

Those who, when called by the name of Allah their hearts tremble, those who are patient for what befalls them, and those who offer prayers, and those who administer some of the sustenance that We have given them.
