Ibrahim (a.s) dedicated himself to ALLAH (SWT) by following his dream and performing the sacrifice. However, ALLAH (SWT) intervened and a ram was substituted for Ismail (a.s).
Ismail (as) was spared because Ibrahim (as) proved he would sacrifice his son out of piety, despite the hardship, pain, and loss it would have caused him. In the same vein, Ibrahim's obedience to Allah (SWT) continues to be celebrated through religious sacrifice.
‘The Prophet (ﷺ) sacrificed for the one who could not sacrifice from his ummah, one who bore witness to the Oneness of Allah and [his] Prophethood’ (Tabarani and Ahmad)
To ensure that the meat for Qurbani is procured according to Sharia, we ensure the following:
We distribute fresh Qurbani meat on the same day to those in need, and we provide enough meat for a family of five.
"The Companions asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is Qurbani?' He replied: ‘It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim. For every hair of the Qurbani, you will receive a reward from Allah.’”— Tirmidhi
Qurbani — also known as Udhiyah — is the sacred tradition of animal sacrifice performed after the Eid al-Adha prayers, during the blessed days of Dhul Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic calendar.
This powerful act of devotion commemorates the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his son Ismail (AS), who demonstrated unwavering submission to Allah (SWT). When Ibrahim (AS) dreamed that he must sacrifice his beloved son as a test of faith, both father and son were prepared to submit to Allah’s will. At the final moment, Allah (SWT) intervened, replacing Ismail (AS) with a ram — and honoring their devotion for generations to come.
Today, Qurbani is not just a sacrifice. It’s a reminder of faith, trust, and giving — a moment to share blessings with those who have none.

"There is nothing more beloved to Allah during the days of Qurbani than the sacrifice. The animal will appear on the Day of Judgment with its horns, hair, and hooves. Its blood is accepted by Allah before it even touches the ground. So sacrifice with an open and joyful heart.”
— Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah
Q&A's
To ensure that each animal has been cared for according to Shariah and meets the requirements of Qurbani, we carry out the following guidelines:
Yes of course! You are free to purchase as many shares of Qurbani as you like on behalf of yourself and one for each family member, including those who have passed away.
The Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W) encouraged his followers to perform Qurbani and did so himself. It is reported that he sacrificed numerous animals, including camels, sheep, and goats, on behalf of himself and his family members.
Large animals such as cows or camels can be divided into seven parts. Muslims may purchase any number of parts or the entire animal for their Qurbani.
Qurbani is wajib for a person. No other act of worship, such as giving money as charity, can be substituted for it.
Although not compulsory, it’s a Sunnah and highly preferred not to cut hair or nails from the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah until your Qurbani slaughter is completed.
At SKT Welfare we can put your mind at ease by letting you know when your Qurbani is completed, by sending you a text message to confirm it is done.
SKT Welfare is here to help if you’re uncertain where to place your Qurbani. With our specialised knowledge and experience, our teams will find the areas where vulnerable families are particularly struggling and have not received enough Qurbani orders. By selecting “Qurbani where most needed” you can let our team at SKT Welfare decide where best to allocate your Qurbani from the countries listed on our website.
Prophetic Qurbani is an act of generosity by which those obliged to pay Qurbani, give Qurbani and then give a second Qurbani for those in their Ummah, who for various reasons are unable to perform Qurbani themselves.
By offering a Prophetic Qurbani, you are following in our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) footsteps who always sacrificed for those who could not sacrifice from his Ummah.
