"It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (AS). For every hair of the Qurbani you receive a reward from Allah (SWT)."
The Prophet (PBUH) - (Hadith - Trimidhi)
“So pray to your Lord and offer sacrifice ‘to Him alone’.”
[Quran 108:2]
Qurbani is an important act of worship in Islam. Allah tells the believers to offer a sacrifice with pure intention. By giving Qurbani, the believers aim to increase their piety by achieving the pleasure of Allah. Qurbani is a confirmed sunnah of the honourable Prophet and the way of the righteous Muslims. The act of Qurbani symbolises the life of a true believer who is willing to make sacrifices for the sake of Allah.
The first mention of Qurbani is made in the Quran with reference to the sacrifice offered by Abel and Cain, the sons of the Prophet Adam (AS):
“And recite to them the story of the two sons of Adam rightly, When both of them offered a sacrifice, it was accepted from one of them, and was not accepted from the other.”
[Quran 5:27]
Allah also tells us of the story of the great sacrifice offered by the Prophet Ibrahim (AS):
“And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, ‘O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] sacrifice you, so see what you think.’ He said, ‘O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if Allah wills, of the steadfast’.
[Quran 37:102]
Allah rewarded Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) submission by replacing his beloved son with a sacrificial animal:
“And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice.”
[37:107]
Muslims commemorate this great sacrifice of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) by performing Qurbani every year at the time of Eid al-Adha.
Qurbani is a highly recommended Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him). It is reported in an authentic narration that the Messenger of Allah offered a sacrifice every year during his stay in Madina.
At the time of farewell Hajj, the Prophet (Peace be Upon Him) offered Qurbani of a hundred camels. There are various hadith encouraging Muslims to participate in the act of Qurbani. According to one report, the Messenger of Allah (Peace be Upon Him) said:
“Whoever offers a sacrifice after the prayer has completed his rituals (of Eid) and has followed the way of the Muslims.”
(Bukhari)
In another hadith, the Prophet (Peace be Upon Him) mentioned the immeasurable reward of Qurbani, telling his followers:
“The son of Adam does not do any deed on the day of Qurbani dearer to Allah than the sacrificing of animals. It (the sacrificed animal) will come on the Day of Judgement with its horns, its hair and its hooves (to be weighed). The sacrifice is accepted by Allah before the blood reaches the ground. Therefore, sacrifice with a happy heart.
(Tirmidhi)
It is preferable to perform the sacrifice yourself. However, it is also permissible to appoint someone else to do the sacrifice on your behalf too. This means that Qurbani money can be donated to a charity, such as UK Islamic Mission, that will purchase and sacrifice the animal on your behalf. It is worthwhile to remember that Qurbani donations in the UK provide a lifeline to those suffering from hunger and poverty. By donating your Qurbani online, you not only fulfil your religious obligation, but also help charities like UKIM feed vulnerable families around the world.

Making a Qurbani donation allows Muslims to fulfil the important act of worship whilst also helping those who may otherwise go without enjoying a nutritious meal during Eid. When you donate Qurbani through a trusted charity, such as UK Islamic Mission, your sacrifice reaches some of the most vulnerable communities across the world. This includes families living in poverty, communities affected by disasters, and those facing conflict and hardship. Choosing to donate for Qurbani is not only an act of obedience to Allah, but also a means of spreading joy and dignity during the blessed days of Eid al-Adha.
Allah reminds us that the true purpose of Qurbani is sincerity and devotion, not the physical meat itself. He tells us in the Quran:
“It is neither their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah, but it is your piety that reaches Him.”
[Quran 22:37]
When you give a Qurbani donation online with the right intention, the reward remains the same as performing it yourself, as long as it is carried out correctly on your behalf.
Your Qurbani donation 2026 can make a real difference to families struggling with food insecurity. In many parts of the world, eating meat is a rare luxury that people may only experience once a year during Eid. By choosing to donate Qurbani online, you help ensure that nutritious food reaches households that need it most. This act of charity strengthens the spirit of brotherhood in Islam and reminds us of our responsibility towards others.
There is also a growing need for Qurbani Palestine donations, as many families in Palestine continue to face hardship and limited access to essential resources. Supporting these communities through your sacrifice can bring hope and relief during a difficult time, along with earning an immense reward from Allah.
The days of Dhul Hijjah are amongst the most blessed days of the year, and good deeds performed during this period carry multiplied rewards. When you donate Qurbani, you are combining worship, charity, and compassion in one action. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him) also emphasised the importance of intention when performing acts of worship, saying:
“Actions are judged by intentions, and every person will have what they intended.”
[Bukhari and Muslim]
This means that whether you perform the sacrifice yourself or arrange it through a Qurbani donation online service, your sincerity determines your reward with Allah.
