Make your Udhiyah/Qurbani go further​

The days of Qurbani/Udhiyah are the 10th, 11th and 12th of the month of Dhul Hijjah in the Lunar calendar.

Because delivering fresh meat on one occasion sustains these families for only a limited time, we are providing you with an opportunity to help assist them sustainably by providing them with resilient and durable livestock in the form of goats.

Goats can be bred and sold to help families put food on the table, provide critical income during emergencies, and pay for children’s education. By helping families develop a herd, you are helping these families ensure their long-term economic stability and help create stronger communities.

For $190, your gift of one pregnant female goat can help sustain a family beyond qurbani/udhiyah season, and build a brighter, more economically-secure future for tomorrow.

To be accepted as Qurbani/Udhiyah, the animals must be slaughtered in the appropriate Islamic way.

• Sharpen the knife prior to putting the animal down for slaughter.
• Ensure that the correct size knife is used to slaughter the animal swiftly.
• Feed the animal, give the animal water and sooth the animal, show kindness and mercy to the animal.
• Ensure the area of slaughter is clean and clear of live animals.
• Make provision for Blood drainage, fly control and general cleanliness.
• Lead the animal to its slaughter humanely.
• Do not perform the slaughter process in front of other live animals.
• Maintain strict hygiene standards.

According to Islamic Law, the legal purification of the flesh of animals requires that the following conditions be met:

• Making of the intention.
• It is preferable to make the throat of the animal face the Qibla (i.e. mustahab).
• Using a sharp knife swiftly cut the windpipe, the gullet and the two jugular veins, do not sever the entire head.
• Recite the name of God (tasmiyah), while slaughtering the animal (Preferably aloud).
• Skinning of the animal should only commence once the animal stops kicking.
• Keep meat and offal separate, clean and refrigerate as soon as possible.

We will make sure your sacrifice is carried out in the appropriate Islamic way and at the right time. Rest assured that we only use the healthiest Qurbani/Udhiyah animals (sheep, goat, or cow) and will deliver the fresh meat straight to those who need it the most.
