Qurbani Appeal - 2020
Qurbani is a celebration of Eid-Al-Adha where many people are unfortunate in the Eid celebration as they celebrate with very basic food. We as a Ummah can help them celebrate their next Eid by us giving our Qurbani to those unfortunate.
The Qurbani or Udhiya, as it is known in Arabic, is the way in which we commemorate the ultimate sacrifice Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismail (as) were willing to make in the way of Allah (swt). Prophet Muhammad (saw) performed this rite and Muslims today continue to follow his example.
لَن يَنَالَ اللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَاؤُهَا وَلَٰكِن يَنَالُهُ التَّقْوَىٰ مِنكُمْ كَذَٰلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
‘Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and give good tidings to the doers of good’. (Qur’an 22:37)
