Give a Prophetic Qurbani
Scholars authentically report that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would offer two Qurbani sacrifices, one on his own behalf, and another on behalf of those from his Ummah who were unable to offer Qurbani themselves.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“Whoever revives a Sunnah that has been forgotten after my death will have a reward equivalent to all those who act upon it, without diminishing their reward in the least.”
By donating a Prophetic Qurbani this Eid al-Adha 2026, you fulfil your own Udhiya obligation and extend the blessing to those who are unable to give.
How Your Udhiya 2026 Helps
Many families in conflict zones, in Gaza, Yemen, Syria, and Sudan cannot afford food for their children, let alone celebrate Eid al-Adha. Qurbani acts as a lifeline for families in crisis, ensuring that vulnerable people can celebrate Eid al Adha with food on their table and bringing smiles with their families.
• Fresh, halal meat delivers directly to vulnerable families who would otherwise go without
• Children experience joy and dignity on Eid day
• Support for communities torn apart by war, poverty, and disaster from Gaza to Rohingya settlements
• Blessings for donors, every share of your Qurbani earns reward for every hair of the sacrificial animal
