The Impact of India Qurbani

In India, there are countless vulnerable families, orphans and widows fighting for their lives every single day. They face unimaginable hunger, devastation, hardship and poverty that make feeding themselves and their families extremely difficult. Since COVID, the economy has constantly struggled, and the number of orphans and widows has constantly risen. India had the second-highest number of confirmed COVID cases in the world, and as of today, the country has still not recovered from the death and destruction. In 2026, there are over 40 million widows living in poverty, and since 2024, there are 30 million orphans, with the number continuing to rise. This means that so many widows and orphaned children are facing poverty and malnutrition with no one to turn to.

You can be the reason that a widowed family gets to put meat on the table and have a proper meal to end their hunger.

What is Qurbani?

Qurbani takes place during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah and Muslims around the world sacrifice an animal, usually a goat, sheep or camel. This is to reflect the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail for the sake of God. Once the animal is sacrificed, its meat is distributed to those most in need.

Performing Qurbani for the sake of Allah (SWT) is a way for Muslims to reach the same level of submission as the Prophet Ibrahim (AS). The Prophet’s story shows his high level of faith (Iman), his certainty and trust in Allah (SWT) in knowing what is best for him (Tawakkul). He was prepared to give up the most precious person to him in order to seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT).

Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is a great role model for Muslims across the world, and they should use the opportunity of Qurbani to gain closeness to Allah (SWT). Qurbani is also a way for Muslims to reflect on their relationship with Allah (SWT) and the importance of putting Him before anyone or anything in their life. Plus, Muslims are reminded to give up things that could harm their faith and to increase their good deeds.

Qurbani allows Muslims to focus on the important values in Islam, such as devotion and submission to Allah (SWT), as well as righteousness. Alongside this, giving Qurbani for India helps able Muslims to think about others and have empathy for them, encouraging you to share the blessings you’ve been given with those who need it most. It lets you make sure that the hungry and poor can join in with the Eid celebrations without them worrying about feeding their families.

The Importance of Qurbani in India in 2026

Qurbani in India in 2026 provides so many vulnerable widows and orphans with fresh, quality meat that they rarely have access to. For most, this is the only time of the year when they get to have meat and protein, which has the power to save their lives. As well as this, it allows orphans and widows to be a part of the celebrations of Eid al-Adha, which they typically don’t get to enjoy. Your Qurbani donation in India can allow them to be a part of the celebrations and join in with the rest of the ummah through a proper, nutritious meal.

When is Qurbani?

Qurbani falls on the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul Hijjah, which, in the UK, is predicted to begin on the 27th of May 2026, depending on the sighting of the new moon of Dhul Hijjah. The meat from the sacrifice should reach the hungry in India during the days of Eid to help them join in with the rest of the ummah and gain hope for a healthier, happier future.

When to Give India Qurbani in 2026

Due to Qurbani being carried out on specific days to make it a valid sacrifice, it’s best to give your India Qurbani in 2026 as early as possible. Donating before Eid al-Adha begins is best to ensure that your sacrifice counts and reaches those most in need during the days of Eid to let them be a part of the festivities. Sacrifices must be done after the Eid prayer on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah (Eid day) and can continue for the three extra days afterwards, known as the days of tashreeq. This means that it can be done on the 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul Hijjah, and sacrifices should be completed before the sun sets on the final day.

If you don’t donate in time, you risk missing this timeframe and not completing the act of worship properly. Any sacrifices done outside of these days don’t count as Qurbani and only count as Sadaqah, which is why it’s essential to donate your Qurbani in India 2026 as early as possible.

How Can You Make a Qurbani Donation to India?

If you are eligible to make a Qurbani donation to India, such as if you meet the Nisab threshold, then you are expected to make a sacrifice of an animal, usually a goat, sheep or camel, that is then distributed to struggling families, orphans and widows who have no support and cannot afford to put food on the table.

To make your Qurbani donation to India, all you have to do is select the animal of your choice, either a whole small animal or a share in a larger animal (which is equivalent to 7 shares), and select the region of India to ensure that the meat is distributed across the country. Once you pay for your donation, our team will handle the rest, from choosing the healthiest animals to the sacrifice itself and the distribution of the meat. We carry out the sacrifice process in line with Islamic regulations and focus on quickly getting the fresh meat to orphans and widows across India to offer them comfort, dignity, joy and hope for a healthier, brighter future.
