HOPE'S Qurbani Activity For Eid-ul-Adha

There is nothing dearer to Allah during the days of Eid al-Adha than the sacrificing of animals. Sacrifice, as practised by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) is an essential religious rite of the Muslims – replicating and comemorating  the sacrifice performed by Prophet Ibraham in its truest spirit and essence. God put Prophet Ibraham to a most difficult trial, the details of which are described in the Quran.

The aim of sacrifice, like all other fundamentals of Islam, is to imbibe piety and self righteousness. It also promotes the spirit of sacrifice for a right cause.

Giving meat to the poor and destitute as required when doing Qurbani spreads happiness so they may also enjoy the event of Eid-ul-Adha as a time of celebration and festivities. Keeping that in mind HOPE, an NGO inPakistan,www.hope-ngo.com  will endeavour with full zeal and fervor to spread this happiness to the poor and destitute of rural Sindh, namely, Thatta, Sujawal and Badin.  And also in Muzaffargarh, Punjab and Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu & Kashmir.  Sacrifice of animals will be done on  Eid-aul-Adha and all the meat will be equitably distributed amongst the poor. Qurbani will be carried out  in all the  six major centres of HOPE,  {Karachi, Thatta, Sujawal, Badin, Muzaffargarh, Muzaffarabad}

Objectives:

1. ·         To distribute qurbani/sacrificial meat to the poor and needy of the rural communities of Thatta, Badin, Sujawal under special instructions from Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi and chairperson of HOPE.

 

·         To sacrifice two selected cows in each of the three cities of Sindh where HOPE’s presence is very prominent. This activity will be guided  and managed by Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi.
 
·         The spirit behind this activity is  not only to provide meat to the very poor who can normally very rarely afford meat in their diets but to also encompass them in the true spirit of the celebration of  Eid-ulAdha ~  and at the same time spread the essence of piety and humbleness and set an example for other financially endowed  people to step forward and help the needy not just during the Eid-ul-Adha celebration but on a continous basis.
