LoC: Qurbani

Qurbani is the religious sacrifice of sheep, goats, and cattle between the tenth and twelfth days of Dhul Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic calendar.

The LoC Foundation UK is has been facilitating the sacrifice for Qurbani in the Line of Control area and distributing the meat amongst the poor and needy.

It is advisable to donate as early as possible to ensure there is enough time for allocation and preparation.

There are four days of sacrifice: the day of Eid-al-Adha and the three days after it.

About the project

What is Qurbani

Qurbani is a sacred act to honour the tradition of the blessed Prophet Ibrahim (AS), his beloved son Ismail (AS) and their story of sacrifice and devotion to Allah (SWT).

“It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is piety from you that reaches Him.” - Qur’an 22:37

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

“For every hair of the Qurbani, you receive a reward from Allah (SWT)”
