Qurbani Waqf

Qurbani Waqf
123456123456

Your donation works differently here

Most charities spend your money the moment you give it. We invest it and only the annual profit is ever used. This means your qurbani is not a one-time act. It is a permanent mechanism.

When you donate a waqf share today, it is pooled in a Sharia-compliant fund. After one year from your donation, you’ll have provided a full Qurbani sacrifice.

We purchase an asset that will provide profit, but even before your asset is purchased, your waqf share gets to work. Since our inception in 2023, we’ve purchased three properties through our waqf donations, and we aim to continue purchasing one asset per year.

Today! You donate a £2000 share

Your waqf certificate is issued immediately. Your endowment is registered within the Fund’s secured, property-backed asset base. The principal is never touched.

It is invested

Your donation is pooled and invested at an average 7% annual return in Sharia-compliant, low-risk property assets. No spending — only growth.

Qurbani is performed

The profits fund your qurbani. We identify the country most in need that year — and that is where your sacrifice lands.

It never stops

The endowment continues every year. After your death, it becomes Sadaqah Jariyah. No reminder needed.

Protected against inflation

Your £2,000 works harder than a lifetime of annual giving.

The average qurbani share in the UK costs £150–£200. If you’ve been giving for ten years, you’ve already spent over £1,500. In fifteen years, you’ve passed £2,000.

Every year, that money is spent and gone. No endowment. No continuation after your death. Nothing permanent.

A qurbani cannot be divided — one full sheep must be sacrificed as a complete act. £150 covers one sheep, but a single share in the waqf at that level would generate only a fraction of that in annual profit. £2,000 is not a donation. It is an endowment.

And unlike annual giving, this requires nothing more from you. No reminder. No decision every Dhul Hijjah. No worry if life gets difficult one year. Once your waqf is established, your qurbani is performed — automatically, every Eid, without fail.

Each year, we direct it to where the need is greatest. Sudan this year. Gaza the next. Wherever the greatest suffering is — that is where your sacrifice goes.

13

Why direct your waqf to Qurbani?

The first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are the best in the entire year. Set your intention for your Qurbani and reap the rewards of these powerful days.

The blessed month of Dhul Hijjah reminds us of the obedience, and sacrifice of Ibrahim (AS)

After a lifetime of longing for a child, Ibrahim (AS) was asked to sacrifice his beloved son Ismail (AS), for the sake of Allah. But Allah spared Ismail at the last minute, and a ram was sacrificed in his place.

Each year, we honour that sacrifice, continuing this sunnah and provide nourishing meat to vulnerable families, many of whom only get to taste meat once a year.

Dedicate your waqf to Qurbani, spread joy at Eid, and reap the blessings of this obedient act of worship.

What support will I provide?

Our projects are delivered in partnership with Human Appeal who have over 35 years’ experience of carrying out Qurbani sacrifices. Each year they:

1415

Carefully inspect farms ahead of time

Select only well-cared for animals, in compliance with Islamic requirements

Follow all restrictions of the slaughter, such as protecting animals from seeing the sacrifice.

Package and distribute the meat within the days of Eid al-Adha

Why you should entrust your Qurbani Waqf to us

We understand that handing over a lifelong commitment takes trust. Here is why donors choose us.

16
Backed by Human Appeal

The Waqf Fund is new. Human Appeal is not. With 35 years of verified delivery, they are one of the UK’s most trusted Islamic charities and they deliver every qurbani for us.

Sadaqah Jariyah after death

No reminder. No annual decision. No forgetting. Your qurbani is performed every Eid and when you pass, it becomes a continuous act of worship in your name.

A certificate in your name

You receive a formal waqf certificate, an Islamic endowment document registering your name as the founder of a perpetual sacrifice. Your legacy, made tangible.

£3M+ in secured assets

We already hold over £3 million in waqf property assets with 3 properties shown publicly. Your endowment joins something real, not an idea or a promise

Built to beat inflation

As the cost of living rises, so does the cost of qurbani. The 10% reinvestment means your waqf keeps up no matter what happens to prices, and your qurbani is never at risk.

Qurbani that follows need

Your qurbani doesn’t stay in one place. It travels to wherever the need is most acute reaching communities you may never have heard of, at the moment they need it most.

We would rather you asked everything.

Because the waqf model works through investment, not spending. Your £2,000 must be invested first, and the profit from that investment is what funds qurbani. This is not a delay, it is the mechanism that makes “every year, forever” possible. A charity that spends your money immediately can only give once. We invest it and give from the profit every single Eid insha Allah.
A waqf qurbani share cannot be divided under Islamic endowment principles. A full sacrifice must be funded as a complete unit. The £2,000 is sized to generate enough annual profit to fund one full qurbani every year. Consider: the average UK Muslim spends well over £2,000 on qurbani across their lifetime. This is significantly less and paid once, returned every year, protected against inflation, and continuing as Sadaqah Jariyah after your death
The Waqf Fund was established in 2023. Human Appeal was established in 1991. Every qurbani we perform is delivered through Human Appeal’s verified, 35-year operational infrastructure. We already hold over £3 million in secured property assets — your endowment joins a fund with real, tangible value. We are new as an organisation. The foundations we stand on are not.
Of every year’s investment profit: 80% funds your qurbani, 10% is reinvested to grow the endowment, and 10% covers the operational costs of maintaining the waqf. We publish this split openly because we believe you deserve to know exactly how your endowment works.
Every donor receives confirmation that their qurbani has been performed. The full picture including the countries chosen, the reasoning, and the communities reached is then published in our annual report each year.
It continues. That is precisely its purpose. Islamic waqf endowments were built to outlast their donors. Your qurbani will be performed every Eid after your death, in your name, as Sadaqah Jariyah.

How it works

When you donate a waqf share today, it is pooled in a Sharia-compliant fund. After one year from your donation, you’ll have provided one person with cataract surgery.

We purchase an asset that will provide profit, but even before your asset is purchased, your waqf share gets to work. Since our inception in 2023, we’ve purchased three properties through our waqf donations, and we aim to continue purchasing one asset per year.

Reinvestment

10% is reinvested to create more income and impact, and 10% is used to maintain your waqf

Why does this waqf share cost £4,000?

From the very first year that your waqf begins generating profit, you’ll be helping someone regain their sight. In the first year alone, your Light of Sight Waqf share will fund one full cataract surgery, and by year five, your Waqf could be restoring vision for five people every single year.

This Waqf works differently from the standard £100 share. Instead of contributing towards a general pool, a £4,000 Light of Sight Waqf share delivers an entire project on its own – one complete cataract operation in its very first year, with its impact growing year after year through perpetual reinvestment.

If you’d like to be part of this Waqf but aren’t ready to fund a full £4,000 share, you can still donate any amount. Your contribution will be combined with others to support cataract surgeries.

To give any amount, simply enter your chosen value in the donation form.
