Who Deserves Your Qurbani?

As the blessed days of Qurbani draw near, prepare to fulfill the sacred act of Qurbani, reviving the tradition of Ibrahim (A.S), rooted in sacrifice, compassion, and unwavering devotion. But in a world ripe with crises and suffering, one question remains: Where can your Qurbani make the most significant impact?

This year, millions of people acrods Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, and beyond, suffering intensifies. other conflict-ridden regions face extreme hunger, displacement, and poverty. Families wake up to empty pots, displacement leaves communities fractured, and poverty strips people of their dignity. Your Qurbani isn’t just a meal—it’s hope in a time of despair, nourishment for those abandoned by the world.

The Power of Qurbani in Times of Crisis

For many, Qurbani is more than an act of worship—it is a lifeline. In conflict zones and famine-stricken areas, receiving meat means consuming vital nutrients they haven’t had for months. Your sacrifice goes to people like malnourished orphans, the frail elderly, and displaced communities who rarely get to eat meat otherwise.

Yet, 2025 has pushed human suffering past unprecedented levels. Wars displace millions overnight. Economic instability drives families into hunger. Climate disasters wipe out entire livelihoods. In this harsh reality, Qurbani becomes more than generosity—it becomes survival.

Regions Where Your Qurbani is Most Needed

Gaza: Starving Under Siege – For the last 70+ years, our Ummah in Palestine has endured unimaginable suffering. With ongoing conflict, blockades, and destroyed infrastructure, the entire population now relies on humanitarian aid to survive. Hunger shadows every household. Clean water is scarce. Medicine is out of reach. Entire families shelter in the ruins of their former homes. We have seen the horrific images on our social media – the situation is worse than it has ever been.

For thousands of starving children, a single meal containing meat is an unimaginable blessing. In Gaza, your Qurbani is more than food—it is a reminder that they are not forgotten.

Sudan: A Forgotten Crisis – Civil war has torn Sudan apart, displacing over 10 million people, creating one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world. This is a catastrophe barely spoken of in global news. Famine spreads as food supplies run critically low, and millions face acute malnutrition. Hospitals are overwhelmed, and entire villages have been abandoned.

Donating your Qurbani here can help feed families fleeing violence who have lost everything. Your sacrifice is proof that mercy still exists in a merciless world.

Yemen: Nine Years of Suffering – Yemen’s crisis continues into 2025, with 21.6 million people trapped in severe hunger and poverty after years of war and economic collapse. Malnutrition grips millions—especially children, whose frail bodies can barely endure the famine. Parents watch helplessly as their children cry out for food they cannot provide.

Your Qurbani can bring joy to a Yemeni family, strengthening them during these challenging times. The Prophet Muhammadﷺ emphasised feeding the hungry, and in Yemen, your act of kindness can save lives.

Afghanistan: Hunger After Earthquakes and Poverty – Natural disasters, conflict, and economic isolation have crippled Afghanistan, where millions wake up unsure if they will even eat that day. Widows and orphans bear the heaviest burden, struggling in a society where poverty is inescapable.

In a country ravaged by earthquakes and droughts, your sacrifice ensures no one is left behind, offering comfort where despair is the norm.

Why Your Qurbani Matters More Than Ever

In 2025, the world faces overlapping crises—war, climate disasters, and economic instability. For many, Qurbani meat is not just a gift but a necessity for survival. When you give your sacrifice to these regions, you:

• Feed starving children who suffer from malnutrition.
• Support widows and orphans who have no one else to help them.
• Bring hope to displaced families who have lost everything.
