In previous blogs we’ve discussed the significance of Ibrahim’s (AS) story and the importance of following in his footsteps by performing Qurbani (also known as Udhiyah), which you can do with Human Appeal from just £26. But what about the process of performing Qurbani? How do your donations impact and support local communities? Read on to find out.
Families
When you donate your Qurbani through Human Appeal, your charity supports some of the most vulnerable people around the world. While many of us have easy access to protein and nutrients, it’s a luxury that most people lack. For many families that Human Appeal supports, Qurbani is their only opportunity to eat meat in the year. What a beautiful opportunity to help struggling families and to reap a blessed reward!
Farmers
Your Qurbani not only helps to feed thousands of families across the world, but it also supports local farmers. We source local cattle for Qurbani, which supports and sustains the farming community and their families. When projects are focused on local communities, it supports growth, resilience and self-reliance, and the impact can be transformative.
Animals
When selecting the animals for Qurbani, we inspect their health and condition, making sure that they conform to halal and Qurbani standards. Goats and sheep must be over a year old, and cows or camels, over two years. We makes sure that they are healthy and show no signs of sickness or injury. If an animal appears unhealthy, Human Appeal does not use them for
Qurbani. The farms are well maintained to ensure that the grass is healthy. Healthy grass makes healthy animals, makes healthy meat, inshallah.
Follow in their footsteps this Eid. Donate your Qurbani from just £26.
Eid should be a day of celebration for Muslims around the world. But for those struggling to feed their families through war, displacement and poverty, it can be hard to feel joy on Eid. When you fulfil your Qurbani duty, you allow some of the most vulnerable families to celebrate Eid without worrying when their next meal will be.
As these families eat together, imagine the reward and blessing you are receiving, imagine our brothers and sisters testifying on the Day of Judgement that you provided them with a nourishing meal. SubhanAllah.
You can also give an Eid gift to a child for just £15, putting a smile on the faces of a little one who might never before have received Eid presents – such as toys, sweets and clothes.
Many Allah allow us to give in the best way. May He allow us to fulfil the obligations of our wealth by fulfilling the rights of others. May we all have a joyous Eid, nourished in His mercy and blessing.
May He allow us to follow in the footsteps of his prophets.
