Qurbani symbolizes profound faith and devotion, commemorating Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) unwavering submission to Allah. Through your sacrifices, you embodied this tradition, turning meat distributions into moments of unity, dignity and hope. In the sacred days of Dhul Hijjah 1446 (2025), your generosity cut across continents and conflict zones, bringing relief and joy to thousands of families in need. Under our campaign, “One Ummah, Qurbani For All. Together We Sacrifice” the Human Development Fund (HDF) delivered life-changing support to over 200,000 people across 27+ countries. Here is how your compassion transformed Eid for the most vulnerable:
