QURBAN Q&A
The word “Qurban” or “Qurbani” derives from the root word in Arabic “Qurb” which means to come close. So Qurban in essence is a sacrifice that brings us closer to the Mercy of Allah (swt). Eid al-Adha is the commemoration of the sacrifice where Ibrahim (as) passed the test putting his Lord first when commanded to sacrifice his son Ismail (as) on Mount Arafat. Ibrahim’s (as) obedience to Allah (swt) was rewarded with Ismail (as) being replaced by a sheep. Today we too sacrifice sheep to show our obedience to Allah (swt) in the hope that it is accepted and we too have “Qurb” or closeness to Allah (swt). “Their meat will not reach Allah (swt), nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you.” 22:37
After the process is completed we send updates and videos to all donors showing the Qurban being performed and the beneficiaries during distribution.
