11. On the day following Laylat al-Qadr, it is highly encouraged, even Wajib, to make two sacrifices for Allah Ta‘ala, as Kaffarah for one’s fast and as a ransom for the People of Tariqah and Ummah of Rasulullah s.a.w. and to distribute the meat to the poor and the needy. This practice was never left out by Mawlana Sultan al-Awliya` Shaykh ‘Abdullah ad-Daghistani.
