Udhiya, also known as Qurbani, means “sacrifice,” which commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to Allah (SWT). In other words, the animal (e.g., goat, sheep, or camel) that is sacrificed during the days of Eid al Adha is reffered as Udhiya.
Muslims perform Udhiya by sacrificing an animal and then distributing the meat to their family, friends, and to the poor. Al Mustafa Welfare Trust will perform Udhiya 2024 in countries of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East region. We will involve local communities in the Udhiya to ensure that fresh meat is distributed to the needy people during Eid al Adha 2024.

The significance of Udhiya in Islam
Udhiya holds a significant place in Islam. It is a symbol of gratitude and devotion to Allah. The act of Qurbani is not just a physical sacrifice but also a spiritual act of giving.
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:
“It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (as). For every hair of the Qurbani, you receive a reward from Allah SWT.” (Tirmidhi)
This Hadith highlights the spiritual rewards and significance of performing Udhiya.
