What Is Qurban?
Qurban means sacrifice. Every year during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah, Muslims around the world slaughter an animal – a goat, sheep, cow or camel – to reflect the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail, for the sake of Allah (SWT). In 2023, Qurban distributions will aim to reach more people than ever before.
After the animal has been sacrificed, its meat is then distributed to those most in need. You can also find out more about how AICC & Verve distributes Qurban meat in the frequently asked questions below.
Donating Qurban is obligatory for every Muslim who is financially able to do so. There are also Qurban rules which dictate which animals can be sacrificed, the quality of the life it has led, its health status and guidelines on how the sacrifice must be carried out.
By donating your Qurban to AICC & Verve, you will enable the world’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged communities to enjoy Eid, as this is the only time many families eat meat in the entire year.

NO SACRIFICE FOR ALLAH (SWT) IS TOO SMALL
Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) had passed the ultimate test – he was willing to give up what he loved most for the sake of Allah (SWT). It is for this reason, we commemorate his sacrifice by offering an animal (a sheep, goat, or cow) for slaughter and sharing a portion of its meat with those in need during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah (Qurban). The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are the most sacred days of the year, loved by Allah (SWT). By giving to AICC & Verve, you can reap the rewards of this blessed month and serve those in need.
WHY CHOOSE AICC & Verve QURBAN?
Here at AICC & Verve, we ensure that only the finest quality meat is used – all sacrificed according to Prophetic tradition. We do not compromise on quality and work with local suppliers to help local economies thrive.
WHO YOUR QURBAN GIFT HELPS?
With your donation, this Eid al-Adha we aim to distribute protein packed Qurban packs to refugees in Africa - Burkina Faso, Benin, Ghana or Togo, Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and Cambodia.
We prioritise widows, orphans, destitute, the elderly, people with disabilities, refugees, and disaster-affected populations, generally people who cannot afford to buy meat often, and whose diet is lacking in calories and nutrients. For many people, this is the only time they can eat meat all year round.
QURBAN FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The Arabic words Qurban or Udhiya refer to a sacrifice done to come close to Allah (SWT), honouring the momentous act of submission that Prophet Ibrahim made. Every year, during Eid al-Adha, Muslims around the world slaughter an animal – typically a sheep, goat, camel, or cow – to commemorate the Prophet Ibrahim and his willingness to sacrifice what he loved most for the sake of Allah (SWT).
To ensure the funds are distributed to those in need in the regions where we work in, we do not provide the option of selecting a country. We predetermine the number of livestock for every country within each region, so that the needs of every country and the region, is served.
Qurban is obligatory upon every able adult who has wealth in excess to their needs. Normally, those who are eligible to pay Zakat should give a Qurban.
The animals used are livestock animals, such as sheep, goats, cows, or buffalo.
1 sheep or goat = 1 Qurban
1 cow or buffalo = 7 Qurbans (one Qurban –one-seventh of the animal)
Since the selection of animals depends on the availability and customs of each region, we do not provide the option of selecting your animal of choice at the time of donation. Animals are instead pre-allocated within each region. We ensure that the animals are healthy, free from blindness and chronic sickness or disease or from any apparent ailment, and that they are of a fit age.
While the price for livestock animals differs from country to country, we base our price on the average calculated of those countries’ prices within each region. This price includes all costs associated with fulfilling and distributing your Qurban.
AICC & Verve recognises the various opinions in the Islamic tradition and welcomes all to fulfil this religious right in consultation with local scholars.
We do not require the names, as the practice of reciting the name upon sacrificing is logistically very difficult to fulfil due to the vast requests we receive during this season. This is like the practice of offering sacrifice while on Hajj. The scholars have approved the sacrifice without the names if the intention of the person was made. We encourage everyone to make their intention when donating their Qurban.
No, It is not necessary to give the name of the person, even if you are making a Qurban on behalf of someone else. If you have made the intention that you are giving this Qurban on behalf of a certain person that should be sufficient.
The slaughter will take place on one of the days of Eid. If you give a Qurban on the second or third day of Eid, the Qurban will still be carried out on one of the days of Eid, as AICC & Verve has already purchased the animals to be slaughtered beforehand. Qurbans are carried out based on forecasts drawn. If necessary, modifications are made, and additional funds are transferred to the relevant country. In effect, donors are paying towards Qurbans which are already allocated. our price on the average calculated of those countries’ prices within each region. This price includes all costs associated with fulfilling and distributing your Qurban.
