Once again EgyptAid is giving you the chance to offer Udhiya/Qurbani in Egypt, allowing you to fulfil your obligation, while feeding the poor and the forgotten.

Prescribed in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, Udhiya/Qurbani is one of the great symbols of Islam. It is an emphasised Sunnah, and carries great merit and reward.

عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْأَضْحَى بِالْمُصَلَّى فَلَمَّا قَضَى خُطْبَتَهُ نَزَلَ عَنْ مِنْبَرِهِ فَأُتِيَ بِكَبْشٍ فَذَبَحَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ:

“بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ هَذَا عَنِّي وَعَمَّنْ لَمْ يُضَحِّ مِنْ أُمَّتِي"

قال الترمذي وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا ذَبَحَ: “بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَر"ُ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ

Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: I was present with the Prophet (ﷺ), on Eid Al-Adha at the place of prayer. When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished his sermon, he came down from his pulpit and a ram was brought to him. The Prophet (ﷺ) slaughtered it with his own hand, saying:
“In the name of Allah and Allah is the greatest. This is from me and those of my nation who cannot offer a sacrifice.”
Al-Tirmidhi said, ‘This was acted upon by the people of knowledge among the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) and others, that a man should say at the time of slaughtering:

With the blessings of Allah سبحانه و تعالى, in the year 2021/1442, which was our first year offering Udhiya/Qurbani services, left us overwhelmed with the response from the Muslim Ummah in providing for the impoverished of Egypt.

We were able to sacrifice 176 animals for the auspicious occasion of Eid Al-Adha. Consisting of 170 Goats/Lambs, 4 Cows, and 2 Buffalo.

In the Year of 2022/1443 being our second year, we were able to sacrifice 36 animals, consisting of 32 Goats/Lambs, and 1 cow. A vast contrast in numbers in comparison to the previous year.

With the economic crisis and currency devaluation in Egypt, meat is a rarity for many. Support your brothers and sister this Eid Al-Adha with your generous sacrifice.

May Allah سبحانه و تعالى allow us to worship and remember Him as befits Him; and give us the ability to follow the traditions of His noble religion in the coming days.
