Islamic Relief Launches Udhiyah/Qurbani Campaign


Udhiyah/Qurbani is a religious practice performed at the time of Eid al-Adha involving the sacrifice of an animal. The event commemorates the sacrifice that Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) made to Allah (swt) to show his devotion and commitment to Him.

"That they may witness the benefits (provided) for them and celebrate the name of Allah, through the days appointed, over the cattle which he has provided for them (for sacrifice), then eat thereof and feed the distressed ones in want." (Qur'an, 22:29)

Eid al-Adha is a mercy from Allah (swt). It is a day of celebration and rememberance of Allah. Not all of us, however, are in a position to enjoy this day, and it is the duty of the more fortunate amongst us to help those less fortunate.

Your donation to Islamic Relief will allow us to perform Udhiyah/Qurbani on your behalf and distribute it to the needy, so that we may all celebrate this special day together.
