Dhul Hijjah is upon us! The sacred month that holds the ten best days of the year. It’s a time when Muslims around the world reflect on the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). A time to embrace spiritual renewal and perform one of the most profound acts of devotion: Qurban (sacrifice).  

At Islamic Relief Australia, Qurban is more than a distribution project. It’s a globally coordinated, compassion-driven, Shariah-compliant program that changes lives—and hearts. It’s your opportunity to take the story of Ibrahim (AS) and turn it into real impact for those who need it most. 

Here’s a deeper look into why giving your Qurban through Islamic Relief is one of the most meaningful choices you can make this Dhul Hijjah. 

You Bring the Spirit of Eid to the Doorstep of the Forgotten

Imagine Eid without food on the table. For millions of families in crisis-affected countries—those facing famine, war, displacement, or extreme poverty—meat is a luxury they only dream of.

When you give Qurban through Islamic Relief, you’re not just feeding a family. You’re saying, “You’re not forgotten. You’re part of our Ummah. You are loved.” You’re delivering dignity.

Our Qurban Goes Where Others Don’t—Or Can’t

Islamic Relief reaches all corners of the world. From the drought-stricken plains of Somalia to war-ravaged Yemen, the refugee camps of Bangladesh, and remote villages in Mali—Islamic Relief works in some of the hardest-to-reach and highest-need regions in the world. 

And we don’t just deliver—we serve. Our teams live and work within these communities. We know the terrain, the culture, and the needs. This means your Qurban reaches those most vulnerable, in the right way, at the right time. 

Shariah Compliant, Quality Assured, Ethically Delivered Qurban

Our Quality Assured Qurban Program is not a slogan—it’s a promise. 

Every step of the Qurban process is designed to reflect Islamic values and humanitarian ethics.

We raise healthy animals that meet Islamic standards (no defects, minimum age, well cared for). These animals also go through a humane slaughtering process, where they are treated with dignity and care.

At the slaughtering of an animal, we ensure clean and hygienic meat handling, with minimal waste. Once the meat is prepared for Qurban it is delivered to those most in need in time for Eid Al-Adha.

This means your Qurban isn’t just halal—it’s tayyib (pure, wholesome, ethical). Because, at Islamic Relief, we strive to honour both the letter and the spirit of the Sunnah for Qurban.

Every Pack Feeds. Every Pack Matters. 

Each Qurban pack contains approximately 2.5 kg of fresh meat, providing enough to feed a family of four for up to a week. But it’s more than just sustenance. 

In Sudan, for an elderly widow, it’s relief. For a single mother in Afghanistan, it’s celebration. And for a displaced child in Yemen, it’s the joy of Eid. 

Your Qurban turns a ritual into restored hope. 

A Thoughtful System That Prioritises the Most Vulnerable

We don’t distribute meat randomly. Islamic Relief uses a scoring system to ensure your Qurban reaches the families who need it the most, including: 

You’ll need a certain number of pebbles for each of the three days. The breakdown is as follows:

• Families living below their country’s poverty line 
• Female-headed households
• Families with elderly or disabled members
• Households with children under five
• Pregnant and lactating mothers
• Families with no access to local markets

This ensures your donation isn’t just symbolic—it’s strategic. 

Transparent Qurban Options to Match Your Heart and Budget 

Islamic Relief offers four Qurban groups based on region and cost. This includes: Group A – $99 (Mali, Niger), Group B – $150 (Kenya, Somalia, Bangladesh, Rohingya refugees), Group C – $250 (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Sudan), and Group D – $350 (Yemen) 

Want to spread more joy? You can also donate an Eid Gift for a child for just $25—a simple way to share Eid happiness with little ones who’ve endured hardship. 

Reviving the Sunnah, Right Where You Are 

Not everyone can go to Hajj—but everyone can partake in the spirit of sacrifice. 

By offering Qurban through Islamic Relief, you honour the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (AS), support communities in need, and reap the immense rewards of the best days of the year—all from wherever you are. 

The Prophet ﷺ said, “There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days,” meaning the (first) ten days of Dhul- Hijjah.
