Meaning of Korban
The word 'Korban' means to approach or sacrifice. From a term point of view, it means everything that is used to get closer to God whether it is in the form of a slaughtering animal or something else.
Korban is also required in Islam as in the Qur'anic verse, surah al-Kauthar verse 2:
فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ
Therefore, turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only).
