Qurbani in Bangladesh, Nigeria, or South Africa
When the Messenger (ﷺ) was asked what Qurbani is, he answered, “It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim. For every hair of the Qurbani you receive a reward from Allah.” (Al-Tirmidhi)
$150 – provide fresh nutritious meat to families struggling with hunger in Bangladesh, Nigeria or South Africa. Last year, one Qurbani share provided an average of 55 nutritious meat-based meals.
Donate your Qurbani to help people facing poverty, disease and widespread food shortages and reap the blessings of this act of worship in best 10 days of the year.
“There are no days more beloved to Allah that He be worshiped in them than the ten days of Dhul Hijjah.” (Tirmidhi)
Marginalization, inequality, and hunger
For the fifth year in a row, the number of hungry people across the world has increased. Crisis after crisis has pushed a staggering 282 million people into deep hunger – a total of 24 million more people than the year before.
Despite being the wealthiest African nation, half of all people in Nigeria live lives below the poverty line. In Bangladesh, 11 million people are experiencing acute hunger – they need food right now. Families with widows and orphans are disproportionately affected and each year we focus on supporting these marginalized families in Bangladesh.
2.1 million South Africans are going hungry and need help to access enough food. Your Qurbani is a lifeline for the ummah facing hunger. Every single nutritious meal is a comfort, a message of care, and vital nourishment. Every single meal offers blessings to those who give.
Donate to our $150 Qurbani bracket and we’ll perform your Qurbani in Bangladesh, Nigeria or South Africa, depending on the need in each community. By dividing our Qurbani donation options into groups, we’re centring the needs of the local people while maintaining different, affordable donations options to suit every budget.
Reviving a Sunnah of the beloved Messenger (ﷺ)
$300 – continue the Sunnah of giving two Qurbani sacrifices in Nigeria, Bangladesh and South Africa, and spread the reward and blessings. Give one Qurbani as your own charity, and one on behalf of the ummah who can’t afford to give – just as the Messenger (ﷺ) used to do. Help us to revive this beautiful Sunnah.
The Messenger of Allah said, “Whoever revives a Sunnah of mine that dies out after I am gone, he will have a reward equivalent to that of those among the people who act upon it, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest…” (Ibn Majah)
Don’t miss out on the blessed rewards of Dhul Hijjah, the most blessed 10 days of the whole year. The Messenger of Allah likened each night of these 10 days to Laylatul Qadr, since they are filled with Allah’s mercy, blessings and forgiveness.
The blessings of Qurbani
Give your Qurbani, and continue the blessed legacy of the Messenger (ﷺ). It’s a unique act of mercy from Allah, an opportunity for devotion that is given only at this time of year, allowing us to share the blessings of Eid with others in the ummah while seeking Allah’s blessings.
For many, the Qurbani sacrifice is considered a duty for all adult Muslims who qualify for Zakat, but it’s certainly encouraged and greatly rewarded for all who are able to give, with every single hair on the sacrificed animal providing blessings to those who give.
Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you. (Quran 22:37)
Why give to Human Appeal?
We ensure that the people you support receive fresh, value-for-money, quality meat is used – all sacrificed according to the Prophet’s tradition.

All animals are inspected ahead of slaughter to ensure they’re healthy and well cared for. Your Qurbani is an Amanah to us, and we ensure your sacrifices are done on time between the first and fourth days of Eid al Adha, as is required for the Udhiya sacrifice. Last year, each Qurbani share provided an average of 55 nutritious meat-based meals each.
Since we buy our Qurbani animals in advance to have them ready for slaughter on Eid day, we recommend donating early so that your donation is secured, and performed once Eid prayer is complete.
