‘It is not their flesh or their blood that reaches God. Rather, it is your God-wariness that reaches Him…’ (Holy Qur’an 22:37)
One of the greatest days in the Islamic calendar celebrated by Muslims across the world takes place on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah - the day of Eid al-Hajj.
On this day, one of the best acts we can perform alongside those men and women who go for the annual Hajj is the ‘Qurbani’ – the sacrificing of an animal in the way of God where the meat is distributed among the deserving living in poverty.
The spiritual significance of this great sacrifice is to make a conscious effort to eradicate our depraved ego and let go of our negative desires so that our souls can be free to worship Allah (SWT) with certitude and piety.
The World Federation is now taking orders to have Qurbanis (sacrifice of a goat) performed on your behalf on the blessed occasion of Eid al Hajj.
Goat Qurbanis will take place in Tanzania and/or Kenya and the meat will be distributed among the needy, including widows and orphans. Cow Qurbanis will take place in Sri Lanka where the meat will be allocated to ddeserving families.
COST OF QURBANI
All Qurbani requests will be carried out on goats and cows as per your request. However, The World Federation reserves the right to make any changes in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
