Qurbani, a cornerstone of the Islamic faith, epitomizes submission to the divine will. For Muslims, it represents the ritualistic slaughter of a Halal animal during the three days of Eid-ul-Azha. This annual tradition commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s readiness to sacrifice his son. By participating in Qurbani, Muslims not only fulfill a religious obligation but also extend compassion to impoverished families and communities.
Islamic principles dictate the distribution of Qurbani meat into three parts: one-third for the family, one-third for friends and neighbors, and the remaining portion for the needy. However, despite these guidelines, many impoverished individuals struggle to receive their rightful share. In Bangladesh, where 18.7% of the population lives below the national poverty line and 9.70% face undernourishment, misconceptions about the distribution of qurbani’s meat also exacerbate the issue.
To solve that issue OBHIZATRIK Foundation launched a program in 2020 where you can donate a portion of your Qurbani meat to those in need. You can also contribute by donating a full cow or goat to us. Our team ensures that your donations reach the intended recipients. Along with it, the OBHIZATRIK Foundation offers a solution to these nutrition challenges by ensuring the equitable distribution of Qurbani meat according to Islamic practices. Also, it’s our core duty that all of the people around us get to celebrate Eid because we believe Eid is for all. This year Obhizatrik aim to Through donations, individuals can support this initiative and reach more needy people. By partnering with the OBHIZATRIK Foundation, donors can make a tangible impact, alleviating hunger and upholding the true essence of Qurbani.
The sacrificed animals are divided into three equal portions: one-third is for the owner’s family, one-third is for friends and the remaining is for needy people. “Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you” [Sura Al-Hajj: 22:37]
The Prophet said, “Whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, he just slaughtered it for himself, and whoever slaughtered it after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed the tradition of the Muslims.”
