HMD Qurbani Project

WHAT IS QURBANI?

Qurbani (also known as Udhiya and sometimes referred to as the Sunnah of Ibrahim) is the important Islamic practice of sacrificing a livestock animal during the festival of Eid ul-Adha. This festival takes place between the 10th and the 12th of the month of Dhul Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar.

Qurbani serves as an important means to both remember and provide for the most vulnerable in our communities, ensuring they are not left excluded from community-wide celebrations. By sacrificing an animal during the Eid ul-Adha festivities, Qurbani brings the entire Ummah together as the meat is shared and distributed to poor and needy families. By making a Qurbani donation, you are fulfilling a religious obligation and helping to support those most in need.

You can make your Qurbani donation with HMD Welfare for as low as £45 per share.

WHAT IS A PROPHETIC QURBANI?

For the ones who are able, it is encouraged to follow the Sunnah and give the Prophetic Qurbani as well as their own sacrifice. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to sacrifice two animals every year, one on behalf of himself, and the other on behalf of his Ummah.

The extra sacrifice can be given to the needy just as Zakat al-Fitr is given at the end of Ramadan, so that the poorest communities can enjoy a healthy, filling meal with fresh meat on the days of Eid-ul-Adha.

On the authority of Kathir bin Abdullah, it is reported that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “Whoever revives a Sunnah of mine that dies out after I am gone, he will have a reward equivalent to that of those among the people who act upon it, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest.” (Ibn Majah)

You can make a greater impact with your Qurbani donation this year, by giving in the Prophetic way.
