This Eid, MILLIONS will have empty plates and shattered hopes.
300+ MILLION don't know if they'll eat. Babies cry from hunger pains. Parents beg in shame. The elderly silently starve.
For many, it's their only meat all year—their only taste of Eid’s joy. Your Qurbani isn’t just meat – it’s their lifeline. Fulfil your duty from just £25.
Last year, you fed over 120,000. Now, war, famine and poverty have left millions more in desperation. Allahﷻ has placed this duty on us, on you. One Ummah’s teams across 19 countries, from Pakistan to Uganda, Gaza to Syria, stand ready to deliver your sacrifice.

1) Qurbani donations must be received no later than 11:59 PM on 4th June to guarantee your Qurbani donation is fulfilled in time. Any Qurbani donations received beyond this cut-off period will be directed to our ‘General Food Fund’, which supports those in need year-round.
2) If a country’s specific quota is reached, our flexible system allows us to fulfil your Qurbani in another needy country. Either way, One Ummah GUARANTEES your Qurbani will be fulfilled with Islamic guidelines during the required Eid ul-Adha period.
3) The number of sacrificial animals allotted for each country reflects the volume of Qurbani (animal sacrifice) anticipated for that region.
1 sheep or 1 goat = 1 Qurbani
1 cow = 7 Qurbani (1 Qurbani equals 1/7th of the cow’s share).
Narrated by 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: The Messenger of Allahﷺ said: "A human does no action from the actions on the day of Nahr (Eid) more beloved to Allah than spilling blood (of sacrificial animals). On the Day of Judgement, it will appear with its horns, and hair, and hooves, and indeed the blood will be accepted by Allah from where it is received before it even falls upon earth." –[Tirmidhi]

Qurbani (Udhiyah) is more than a ritual- it's a living testament to Prophet Ibrahim's عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ ultimate surrender to Allahﷻ. This act of worship is performed during the days of Eid-ul-Adha. When commanded to sacrifice his beloved son Ismail عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ, his obedience was met with divine mercy: a ram appeared to sacrifice instead. Today, we honour this legacy through our own sacrifices. We sacrifice an animal as an act of devotion and thankfulness to Allahﷻ. This act of obedience and sacrifice is remembered and celebrated by Muslims around the world every year through the practice of Qurbani
The word 'Qurbani' comes from 'qurban', rooted in 'qurb', meaning nearness. This isn't just a sacrifice; it's your direct path to draw closer to Allahﷻ.
When you give Qurbani, you:
1️⃣ Emulate Prophet Ibrahim's عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ supreme faith - his willingness to sacrifice Ismail عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ that became the ultimate test of submission
2️⃣ Transform ritual into redemption - your act of worship becomes a lifeline for the hungry
Qurbani is your living declaration of submission to Allah'sﷻ will - a profound "Labbaik" echoing Prophet Ibrahim's عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ ultimate test of faith. When you sacrifice, you express gratitude for everything Allahﷻ has blessed you with, honour Ibrahim's عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ sacrifice, and help the Ummah in need. It reminds us of our obligation to care for those less fortunate than us.
Qurbani can be performed in several ways. It can be performed individually, within families, or through communal sacrifices. The animal to be sacrificed must be of a certain age and in good health. The most commonly sacrificed animals are sheep, goats, cows, and camels.
Before the sacrifice is made, the animal must be humane and given the appropriate food and water. The sacrifice must also be humane, ensuring the animal does not suffer unnecessarily. A trained professional then slaughters the animal in accordance with Islamic guidelines.
For One Ummah, your Qurbani is the ultimate form of Amanah, and we take your trust very seriously. Our rigorous selection process ensures your Qurbani reaches those who need it most.
Orphans, young children, widows, malnourished, pregnant women, the elderly, displaced families, and families in poverty are just some examples of those your Qurbani helps.
The Prophetﷺ also highlighted its importance:
