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.
A sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, ““It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim. For every hair of the Qurbani you receive a reward from Allah.” (Hadith Al-Tirmidhi)
Help us to support the ummah of tomorrow by caring for the orphans of today, a sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ.
