Qurbani

Qurbani is the religious practice of sacrificing an animal in the way of Allah (swt), whose meat is then distributed among deprived communities for eating.

On a spiritual level, this act symbolises a human beings willingness to give up or detach from those barriers (such as wealth, pride, arrogance) which weaken our faith and hold us back from seeking closeness to Allah (swt). It is a time for people to reflect on what changes we need to make within ourselves to become better human beings.

‘(if you wonder why Allah Needs your Qurbani’s flesh/blood?) It is not their flesh or their blood that reaches Allah. Rather, it is your God-wariness (sacrificial spirit to revere & obey him) that reaches Him (& raises you close to Him)…’ (Surah Al-Hajj, 22:37)

WF-AID facilitates Qurbani, which is carried out on sheep or goats and the meat is distributed to families in need across Tanzania and Kenya.

Please choose from one of the options below:

The practice of Qurbani can be traced back to Prophet Ibraham’s (as) willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail (as), as an act of submission to Allah’s (swt) command; at the time of the great sacrifice, Allah (swt) intervened to provide Ibraham with a lamb to sacrifice instead, the Qurbani.

Qurbani was performed by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and therefore became an obligatory practice for Hajj Pilgrims. In keeping with the practice of Qurbani, WF-AID facilitates the slaughtering of goats on behalf of individuals who could not perform the Hajj but wish to gain the benefits from the Qurbani.

With your donation, we can bring smiles to the faces of families in need of our support. Like every year, your donation will help us to reach out and support more communities in the Ummah.

Donate your Qurbani with WF-AID and give families a reason to smile.
