Qurbani 2025

Qurbani donations are closed for 2025.

Thank you for your support.

Eid ul-Adha will be with us again sooner than we realise. A time of celebration that presents every able-bodied Muslim with the opportunity to give Qurbani and ensure families and individuals living in poverty receive a share of a sacrificed animal.

Qurbani is the practice of sacrificing an animal for Allah (swt). Every year, during the days of Eid al-Adha (from the 10th to the 13th of Dhul Hijjah), Muslims around the world take part in this meaningful tradition to mark the completion of Hajj. This act honours the incredible faith of Ibrahim (as), who was ready to sacrifice his beloved son for Allah.

Qurbani is much more than just the act of slaughtering an animal and sharing its meat. The word ‘Qurbani’ comes from the Arabic ‘qurban’, which is has its origins in the word ‘qurb’ – meaning ‘nearness’. 

The true essence of Qurbani is to draw closer to Allah. It’s a beautiful reminder, amidst our busy lives, of our complete submission to Allah and our willingness to sacrifice for His sake, just as Prophet Ibrahim (as) did so many years ago.

As we participate in Qurbani, let's remember to keep our intentions sincere and strive to be closer to Allah through this symbolic and heartfelt sacrifice.

We’ve been carrying out Qurbani on your behalf for over 30 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.

"I prayed Eid al Adha with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh), and when he finished (the prayer), he was brought two rams which he sacrificed. He said 'In the Name of Allah, Allah is most great. This is on behalf of myself and any member of my Ummah who did not offer a sacrifice."

(Abu Dawud)
