The Importance of Qurbani

The importance of Qurbani lies far beyond the act of sacrifice itself. It is a powerful reminder of faith and obedience to Allah and comes from the story of Ibrahim (AS), who was ready to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS) all for the sake of Allah. In return, Allah replaced his son with a ram, rewarding Ibrahim (AS) and Ismail (AS) for their true devotion.

Allah narrates this in the Quran, telling us,

“And we ransomed his son with a great sacrifice, and blessed Abraham [with honourable mention] among later generations: “Peace be Upon Abraham.” This is how We reward the good doers.”

[Quran 37:107-110]

The act of Qurbani is done purely for the sake of Allah, reminding us that our faith comes before all else. The Messenger of Allah (Peace be Upon Him) has also said regarding Qurbani,

“It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim… for every hair of the Qurbani you receive a reward”

(Tirmidhi).

Through an online Qurbani donation, Muslims around the world can fulfil this act of worship and follow this beautiful Sunnah whilst also helping those in need.

When is Qurbani Given

So, when is Qurbani usually given? The sacrifice takes place during the day of Eid al-Adha, more precisely after the morning Eid prayer, and can be performed for up to another 3 days.

The time of Qurbani is special to all Muslims around the world as they come together in worship to remember their Lord. Giving Qurbani also means you’re able to give to someone in need during this period, so that they too can enjoy the blessings and joyous occasion of Eid.

Case Study: Feeding Families in Need

In and around parts of this world are families who are struggling to afford even the basics of food. For them, the delivery of the Qurbani meat can be the only time in the year that they can receive fresh and nutritious meat.

Through Qurbani donations, communities are being supported, and no one is being left out in celebrating Eid with dignity.

With poverty on the rise within rural areas, a single Qurbani has the chance to feed many families, creating a large impact and delivering joy and relief to people who would otherwise go without. Qurbani also has the means to bring together and unite the Ummah.

Case Study: Supporting Orphans and Vulnerable Children

Orphans and vulnerable children are those who benefit most from the Qurbani donations. Many of these children are living in dire conditions with little to no access to a proper meal.

When Qurbani meat is distributed, it provides nutrition and comfort to these children in need, reminding them that they are not forgotten and that people around the world are thinking of them.

Case Study: Reaching Remote Communities

In areas that are remote and hard to get to, access to food is uncertain. Our Qurbani programme is what can ensure that communities can receive the support they need. Our teams are able to travel a long distance to deliver the meat safely to those living far from the local areas.

Qurbani donations through Orphans in Need go beyond convenience, reaching those who need help no matter where they are and where they live. This is the purpose of Qurbani, the spirit of sacrifice and the act of generosity embedded within the principles of Islam.

The Deeper Impact of Qurbani

Qurbani is all about intention, faith and caring for others. Muslims are told to think about the less fortunate and share their blessings with those in need.

The real value of Qurbani lies in its sincerity. Allah tells us in the Quran,

“It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but your piety”

[Quran 22:37].

When you give Qurbani donations, you are choosing to bring happiness to the lives of many, along with strengthening your connection with Allah.

You can donate your Qurbani today through Orphans in Need and provide hope, joy, and dignity to those who need it most.
