When you give Qurbani in 2025, you honour the devotion and sacrifice the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) made. You please Allah (SWT) and fulfil your religious obligation to sacrifice and strengthen your spirituality and connection to God. But Qurbani is not just important for this, it also helps those less fortunate who need nutritious meals and who don’t get to have meat during the year (with some individuals only eating meat once a year during Eid al-Adha). This is because typically, there’s always one share of meat that goes to the poor, and in countries where performing Qurbani isn’t possible, all of the meat goes to those in need.
If you give Qurbani to Emaan Relief, we will ensure the meat reaches vulnerable communities across the world who face extreme poverty every day. You can help us provide a sustainable future and eradicate poverty for the most vulnerable people in society by providing healthy food. Donate Qurbani today to help those experiencing severe poverty and spread joy and happiness this Eid al-Adha.
(Surah Al-Hajj 22:34)
Qurbani 2025 is just around the corner and Muslims need to begin preparing for the sacred ritual. It is a time to connect with Allah (SWT) and grow spiritually, seeking pleasure from God and commemorating the great sacrifice of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS). Qurbani is within the holy month of Dhul Hijjah, the last month in the Islamic lunar calendar. The month has various significant events and is a very spiritual time for Muslims all over the world. Dhul Hijjah brings communities together, strengthens faith and even helps those in need.
The holy month gets its name from the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, which occurs within it. Pilgrims from far and wide come together to devote themselves to Allah (SWT) and visit historically important landmarks, such as Mount Arafat, where many Islamic events took place. It is an obligation for every Muslim to complete the Hajj once during their lives to enhance their spirituality and faith.
On top of this, Dhul Hijjah is the month of the greater Eid. Eid al-Adha is a massive celebration in the Islamic calendar and lasts for four days. The first day begins on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah and then extends for three extra days, known as the days of tashreeq. This Eid is a chance for believers to come together and spend time with family, friends and the community. Muslims exchange gifts, eat traditional dishes and pray together. Eid al-Adha is also used for reflection, building relationships with Allah (SWT) and helping those in vulnerable situations through giving. The ritual of Qurbani is performed across the days of Eid to provide the needy with quality meals and remember the sacrifice of Ibrahim (AS).
Many wonder what is Qurbani in Islam? Qurbani means sacrifice and is a ritual that is performed over the days of Eid al-Adha. Muslims worldwide slaughter an animal to seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT). The animals that are sacrificed are usually sheep, goats, cows, buffalo or camels. The ritual is done to remember the story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and is a chance for Muslims to adopt his loyalty to God. Ibrahim (AS) was willing to sacrifice his son, Ismail (AS), as commanded to him by Allah (SWT). Both men committed themselves to Allah (SWT) by obeying the command. Ibrahim (AS) took his son to Mount Arafat to sacrifice him. However, Allah (SWT) intervened to reveal it was a test of love and devotion to Him and rewarded the unwavering loyalty of Ibrahim and Ismail (AS) with a ram to sacrifice instead. Ibrahim (AS) sacrificed the ram to Allah (SWT) and Ismail’s (AS) life was spared.
This story began the ritual of Qurbani for Muslims to bring that faithfulness and love for Allah (SWT) into their own lives and remember Prophet Ibrahim (AS). Believers sacrifice animals during the days of Eid and gain reward from God
Traditionally, to give Qurbani, Muslims perform the sacrifice of an animal. This must be done in compliance with Islamic rules to ensure that the sacrifice is done correctly. The sacrifices take place on the first day of Eid al-Adha after the congregational prayer in the morning. From this time, Qurbani is done throughout the days of Eid until the sun sets on the fourth day. Believers must make sure that their animal meets the criteria set out for them in Islamic rulings, such as the age of the animal and their condition. They also must choose specific animals for Qurbani, which are:
As well as this, the animal chosen for sacrifice needs to be healthy with no diseases. They should fit into the following criteria:
However, it isn’t always possible for Muslims to carry out the sacrifice themselves, like in the UK. Due to this, if you need to give Qurbani in the UK, you should donate to a charitable organisation to carry out the slaughter on your behalf.
Yes, you can donate your Qurbani. This is extremely helpful and useful for those in countries where sacrifice isn’t allowed. For example, in the UK, there are strict slaughter regulations in place that prevent Muslims from performing the sacrifice. Donating to a charity gives you the ability to fulfil your obligations while helping more people in desperate need.
You can donate Qurbani to Emaan Relief to reach those most in need who face poverty and hardship daily. We sacrifice the animal on your behalf, following Islamic rules, for you to still take part in this vital ritual. Once the sacrifice is done, we quickly distribute the meat to vulnerable communities across 24 countries, nourishing individuals who can’t afford to have proper, cooked meals. Spread the joy of Eid to people in need and bring happiness into their lives.
The price of Qurbani in 2025 varies massively as it all depends on the size of the animal you choose and the country it is in. There are multiple choices when it comes to the size of the animal. You can donate one small animal that equates to one share, or you can choose to donate one share of a large animal. Large animals equate to seven people’s shares, so you can purchase one-seventh of that animal. You could even buy a whole large animal, meaning you buy all seven shares. Whichever one you want to donate will give you a different price. Purchasing a smaller animal is more expensive than one share in a large animal.
As well as this, the price depends on where the animal is located in the world. Animals purchased from areas with lots of livestock are often cheaper than areas with barely any. However, the higher Qurbani donations are important as they are in places with more vulnerable individuals who are in desperate need. This means if you choose a higher priced animal, you have a better chance of reaching poverty-stricken individuals and making a positive impact with a hearty meal.
At Emaan Relief, we have made it easier than ever to donate Qurbani online. You can simply choose what animal you would like to donate and the country. Our donation system is simple to use and shows you how many Qurbani shares you have and the cost of each animal. From this, you can quickly click donate and pay and leave the rest up to us! We will carry out the sacrifice for you in the chosen country and quickly distribute the fresh meat to the people in need within that country.
Donate your Qurbani today to help us end the perpetual cycle of poverty across the globe and create brighter and more sustainable futures for vulnerable communities.
