It is neither their flesh nor their blood that reaches Allah;
it is your piety that reaches Him." (Qur'an
22:37) |

Inspiration of the Prophet |
Qurbani is a sacrifice that is offered at the time of Eid al-Adha to show gratitude towards Allah (swt) and to provide for the poor and needy.
The Prophet Muhammad (saws) was once asked by his Companions: "O Prophet of Allah! What is this qurbani?" He replied, "It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (as)." (Hadith - Ibn Majah)
Allah (swt) says in the Qur'an: "It is neither their flesh nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that reaches Him." (Qur'an
22:37)
Qurbani has been performed from the time of Ibrahim (as) and commemorates also Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son, who was replaced by an animal at the time of sacrifice.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Q1) How does the Udhiya/Qurbani program work?
Ideally the meat from the Qurbani sacrifice should be shared between one's own family, friends and the poor. It is very difficult to perform a
Qurbani sacrifice in most western countries, and there are also relatively few poor persons, so it is permissible to pay for a sacrifice to be performed on one's behalf in another country, and for all the meat to be distributed to the poor.
Muslim Hands will perform the Qurbani sacrifice in a country of your choosing (or where most needed) and will distribute all the meat to the poor and needy.
Q2) What is Islamicity's Qurbani Program?
This year marks the 7th anniversary of Islamicity's Qurbani programme.
Since 2000, IslamiCity has been organizing annual Qurbanis and working with agencies in distributing the meat to benefit some of the world's poorest and vulnerable
people.
Q3) Is donations to Qurbani Program tax deductible?
Yes. IslamiCity is a 501c3 non profit organization with
federal Tax ID# 95-4348674. |

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious,
Most Merciful. |
The sacrificial camels we have made for you as among the symbols from
Allah. In them is (much) good for you: then pronounce the name of Allah over them as they
line up (for sacrifice): when they are down on their sides (after slaughter), eat ye
thereof, and feed such as (beg not but) live in contentment, and such as beg with due
humility: thus have We made animals subject to you, that ye may be grateful. It is not
their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah. it is your piety that reaches Him: He has
thus made them subject to you, that ye may glorify Allah for His Guidance to you and
proclaim the good news to all who do right.(22:36-37)
