Udhiya, also known as Qurbani, is the ritual sacrifice of animals (goats, sheep, cows, or camels) performed during the Eid al-Adha celebration. AFECoD conducts this noble practice to provide meat for the poor and needy in our community, fulfilling one of the pillars of Islam while embodying the spirit of sacrifice and compassion.
Our mission is to distribute the meat from Udhiya sacrifices equally among the poor, needy, and disadvantaged members of our community. We ensure that every family in need receives their fair share, bringing dignity and nourishment to those who struggle the most. This act of worship becomes a source of lasting benefit for our community.
AFECoD accepts goats, sheep, cows, and camels for sacrifice. Each animal must meet the Islamic criteria of suitability for sacrifice. We work with trusted butchers and veterinary officers to ensure proper slaughter and meat processing according to Islamic guidelines.
The meat is carefully divided into three portions: one-third for the family performing the sacrifice, one-third for relatives and friends, and one-third for the poor and needy. AFECoD manages the distribution of the third portion, ensuring it reaches deserving families in our community. We also coordinate with local leaders to identify beneficiaries.
Through Udhiya, hundreds of families receive meat and protein essential for their nutrition. This programme strengthens community bonds and demonstrates the Islamic values of compassion and giving. It serves as a reminder that true worship includes caring for the vulnerable members of society.
You can participate by donating an animal for sacrifice or contributing financially towards the cost of the sacrifice. Contact us before Eid al-Adha to arrange your contribution. All donations are transparently managed and documented. Join us in making this Eid a source of joy and sustenance for those in need.
Your participation in the Udhiya programme brings hope and nourishment to families in need. Together, we can fulfill the true spirit of Eid al-Adha.
