Qurbani & The Festival of Sacrifice

Eid ul-Adha is almost upon us once more. A time of celebration that presents every able-bodied Muslim with the opportunity to give Qurbani and ensure families living in poverty receive a share of a sacrificed animal. It’s an act of worship that makes life a little easier for those suffering chronic deprivation.

The practice of Qurbani, which means sacrifice, reaches back to the time of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS), when he was tasked to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS). Ibrahim agreed to carry out the sacrifice, and Allah (SWT), pleased with his obedience, replaced Ismail (AS) with an animal.

Eid ul-Adha

The Festival of Sacrifice is the annual celebration that recognises Ibrahim’s act of devotion and submission. During Dhul Hijjah (the 12th and final month of the Islamic calendar) Muslim’s throughout the world sacrifice an animal – camel, cow, sheep or goat – with at least a third being donated to the poor or vulnerable, and the rest being equally distributed between family and neighbours.

Give Your Qurbani - Cow Share from £35 | Sheep from £75 | Cow from £210

We’ve been carrying out Qurbani on your behalf for 35 years. Using a network of regional suppliers, we’re able to ensure that all animals are locally sourced, are well cared for, sacrificed at the correct time – according to strict religious guidelines.

By using local suppliers, we’re keeping your money on the local economy, making sure that your donation benefits the wider communities we work in.

This year, our dedicated teams are working in 13 countries to deliver your Qurbani to families and communities in need, ensuring that they can celebrate the joys of Eid al-Adha with the rest of us.

In 2025 we delivered your Qurbani to around 25,000 families during Eid. This year, we want to double that.

Join us to reach this target and spread your love to those that have been forgotten.
