"It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is piety from you that reaches Him.” Qur’an 22:37
Qurbani, the religious sacrifice of sheep, goats, or cows, takes place during the final month of the Islamic calendar, Dhul Hijjah, between the tenth and twelfth days. It is a sacred act that honours the tradition of the blessed Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his beloved son Ismail (AS), commemorating their story of sacrifice and devotion to Allah (SWT).
As the Qur’an states, “It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is piety from you that reaches Him” (22:37), emphasizing the importance of sincere intentions and devotion to Allah.
We are reminded of Ibrahim’s unwavering faith when he was tested by Allah, and how he responded with complete submission and trust in Allah’s plan. Allah then declared, “O Ibrahim, you have fulfilled the vision. Indeed, we thus reward the doers of good. Indeed, this was a clear trial” (37:104).
Through a single Qurbani donation, we can provide nutritious and protein-filled meals to those in need, fulfilling our duty to help those less fortunate and spreading joy during this sacred time.

Revive the Sunnah: Give an Extra Qurbani
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sacrificed for the one who could not sacrifice from his Ummah, one who bore witness to the Oneness of Allah and [his] Prophethood”. (Ahmad)
Inspired by the noble example set by the Prophet (SAW), who annually dedicated a second animal for those in the Ummah facing financial hardship, Muslims worldwide find resonance in this act of compassion and solidarity. Through this merciful gesture, the Prophet (SAW) fostered a sense of unity and shared blessings within his community, enhancing the spirit of Eid and reinforcing bonds among believers.
You too have the opportunity to revive this Sunnah by allocating a second Qurbani to vulnerable members of the Muslim community, effectively doubling the impact and joy of your Eid celebration. In doing so, not only do you fulfill your religious duty but you also demonstrate your compassion and care for those facing adversity.
Moreover, consider dedicating a second Qurbani on behalf of departed loved ones who are unable to perform the sacrifice this year. This thoughtful act serves as a tribute to their memory while simultaneously providing vital assistance to those in need, ensuring that their legacy of generosity lives on.
Join us in spreading the spirit of Eid and bringing hope to the lives of fellow Muslims. Extend your generosity by giving an extra Qurbani today.
