Qurbani ordering is now closed
Eid ul-Adha will be with us again sooner than we realise. A time of celebration that presents every able-bodied Muslim with the opportunity to give Qurbani and ensure families and individuals living in poverty receive a share of a sacrificed animal.
Qurbani is the practice of sacrificing an animal for Allah (swt). Every year, during the days of Eid al-Adha (from the 10th to the 13th of Dhul Hijjah), Muslims around the world take part in this meaningful tradition to mark the completion of Hajj. This act honours the incredible faith of Ibrahim (as), who was ready to sacrifice his beloved son for Allah.
Qurbani is much more than just the act of slaughtering an animal and sharing its meat. The word ‘Qurbani’ comes from the Arabic ‘qurban’, which is has its origins in the word ‘qurb’ – meaning ‘nearness’.
The true essence of Qurbani is to draw closer to Allah. It’s a beautiful reminder, amidst our busy lives, of our complete submission to Allah and our willingness to sacrifice for His sake, just as Prophet Ibrahim (as) did so many years ago.
As we participate in Qurbani, let's remember to keep our intentions sincere and strive to be closer to Allah through this symbolic and heartfelt sacrifice.
The Prophet (SAW) said,
"For every hair of the Qurbani, you will receive a reward from Allah (SWT)."
(Tirmidhi)

Eid al-Adha is a time traditionally when older family members give gifts to express love and joy for children, and to share the happiness of the holiday with them. The gift-giving tradition is also a way to encourage children to appreciate the religious significance of Eid al-Adha and to involve them in the celebrations.
Providing Eid gifts to orphans and children from poverty stricken families gives them the opportunity to fully take part in the celebrations like any other child would during Eid al-Adha.
Let us deliver happiness and put a smile on a child's face for Eid. Donate an Eid gift for £25.
“There are no days more beloved to Allah that He be worshiped in them than the ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Each day of fasting in it is equivalent to the fast of an entire year. And each night standing in prayer is equivalent to standing in prayer on the Night of Power.”
(Tirmidhi)
The ten days of Dhull Hijjah are the best ten days of the year. Giving charity during this time brings remarkable rewards. These ten blessed days are most beloved to Allah (SWT) and are the perfect time to give charity. The rewards of your Zakat or Sadaqah are boosted and multiplied.
By scheduling and automating your donations with My Ten Days over this glorious period, you can relax knowing you'll be earning 100% of the rewards, every day. There are two ways to split your donations -
1) equally across all ten days or
2) more on the day of Arafah.
We have four very worthy causes for you to select from:
