The word “Qurbana” has different meanings like offering,
gift, oblation, sacrifice, presents etc. The word took
its origin from the syriac word ‘Kurbono’. As there is
no apt word to translate into different languages with
the full connotation, the same word is accepted in
different languages with a slight change. In the Old
Testament wherever the word ‘sacrifice’ or ‘offering’ is
intended the word ‘Kurbono’ is used in the Syriac Bible.
