Why Give Qurbani on Eid al-Adha?
Each year, Muslims around the world uphold the sacred tradition of Qurbani during Eid al-Adha. But what does this act really mean, and why does it matter?
Whether this is your first time giving Qurbani or you’ve been doing so for years, understanding the heart behind this ritual is essential.
This year, your Qurbani in 2025 can do even more for you and for families who depend on it
What Is Qurbani, and Why Is It Performed on Eid al-Adha?
Qurbani is more than a ritual. It is a reflection of trust, faith, and devotion. Muslims perform Qurbani to honor the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), who was willing to sacrifice what he loved most in obedience to Allah. Instead, Allah replaced his son with a ram, beginning a legacy of mercy.
Today, during Eid al-Adha, eligible Muslims continue that legacy by sacrificing an animal and sharing the meat with those in need. It is a deeply spiritual act that turns personal sacrifice into collective care, reminding us that faith is not just what we believe. It is also reflected in how we give to others.
Why Give Qurbani? A Deeper Look at Its Purpose
You may be wondering: Why give Qurbani every year? Beyond fulfilling a religious duty, it is an invitation to reflect, to give with intention, and to remember those who have less.
By giving Qurbani, you take part in a tradition that has spanned centuries. You are offering more than meat. You are restoring dignity to families and reminding them that they are not forgotten. In doing so, you strengthen your connection to Allah.
Each Qurbani reminds us that true giving begins with the heart, not just the hand. It is an act of mercy that ripples through communities and lives long after Eid has passed.
How Does My Qurbani Help Families in Need?
In many parts of the world, including Yemen, Mali, and remote villages in Pakistan, meat is a rare luxury. Your Qurbani provides fresh, nutritious meat to families who may not have tasted it in months.
When you give Qurbani through Muslim Hands USA, your donation goes directly to the most vulnerable widows, orphans, the elderly, and displaced families. You are not just feeding someone. You are reminding them that the Ummah cares.
For many recipients, this is the only time of year they receive meat. Your gift allows them to mark Eid with both joy and a sense of belonging.

Who Should Give Qurbani and When?
Qurbani is required for every Muslim who meets the Nisab threshold, according to the Hanafi school. If your wealth exceeds your basic needs, Qurbani becomes your obligation.
For other Sunni schools of thought, while not considered mandatory, Qurbani is a highly recommended act (Sunnah).
The sacrifice must be done after the Eid prayer, on the 10th, 11th, or 12th of Dhul Hijjah. Once this short window closes, the opportunity does not return until next year.
The window to give begins after the Eid prayer on Dhul Hijjah 10 and ends at sunset on Dhul Hijjah 12. These three days are a divine window to act, and when it closes, the chance is gone until next year.
