What is Qurbani?

Qurbani Donation is a sacred, religious sacrifice of sheep, cattle, or goats which is made after Eid ul Adha prayers, between the 10th and 12th days of the holy month of Dhul Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic calendar. The blessed tradition was passed down to us by our Prophet Ibrahim (as) and Ismail (as) as they were prepared to make huge sacrifice out of love and devotion of Allah (swt)

Traditionally, one-third of the meat is consumed by those offering the Qurbani, one-third is offered to family, friends and neighbours, and the final third is distributed among the poor. This signifies the sharing of blessings and celebration of Eid-ul-Adha. It is increasingly common that a Qurbani donation is made through an established charity or network, and the entire meat is distributed among the poor. This means we are able to help even more people and tackle hunger around the world.
