Qurbani
A Sacrifice
Qurbani means sacrifice. Every year during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah, Muslims around the world slaughter an animal to reflect the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail, for the sake of Allah (swt)
“Once our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was asked, what is Qurbani? The Prophet (SAW) answered: ‘It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (AS). For every hair of the Qurbani you receive a reward from Allah (SWT)” - Tirmidhi
How we helped last year
£27,769 was raised for our Qurbani appeal which meant we were able to help an estimated 2344 families, feeding around 11,720 individual beneficiaries. Some of the countries we supported included; Bangladesh, India, Jammu and Kashmir, Gaza, Yemen, Somalia and Kenya.
With Allah’s (swt) blessings and the generosity of donations, the vulnerable benefited from the distribution of fresh meat from the animals sacrificed during the days of Eid Ul Adha.
