This Eid al-Adha, as we prepare for the blessed act of Qurbani, let’s turn our hearts to our dear brothers and sisters in Gaza.
They are facing truly terrible times and great suffering. Right now, the situation for them is extremely bad. As fellow Muslims, they urgently need our compassion and our help.
What’s Happening to Families in Gaza?
The people of Gaza are going through unimaginable hardship:
Help Can’t Get In
For many months, a very strict blockade has made it nearly impossible for basic things like food, clean water, and life-saving medicine to reach them.
People Are Facing Starvation
Hundreds of thousands are facing extreme hunger, like a famine. We are hearing heartbreaking news that the most vulnerable, like babies and young children, are already dying from not having enough food.
Daily Life is a Struggle for Survival
Most families do not have enough clean water to drink. Hospitals are in crisis, without enough medicine or fuel. Many families have lost their homes and are living in crowded conditions, with very little hope.
So Many Lives Lost
Tragically, many innocent people, including thousands of children and women, have lost their lives. It’s a deeply painful situation for the entire Ummah.
How Your Qurbani Helps Our Brothers and Sisters in Gaza
When you give your Qurbani for Gaza, you are providing:
Much-Needed Food for Strength
Your Qurbani means protein-rich meat for families weakened by hunger. This is especially important for children, the elderly, and pregnant or nursing mothers so they can stay strong.
A Taste of Eid, A Moment of Relief
It allows them to feel the blessing of Eid, a reminder of joy and care from their fellow Muslims, even when things are so hard.
A Message That They Are Not Forgotten
Your generous Qurbani shows them that their Muslim brothers and sisters around the world have not forgotten them in their time of desperate need.
How We Make Sure Your Qurbani Reaches Gaza Correctly
We know how important it is that your Qurbani is done right and reaches the people who need it. Here’s our careful and clear process:
Your Sacrifice, Done Islamically: Your Qurbani will be performed in a secure place outside of Gaza. We will make sure it is done according to all Shariah (Islamic) rules and with the greatest care.
Kept Fresh and Safe for Eating: The meat from your Qurbani will be professionally processed and frozen right away. This keeps it fresh, good, and safe for families to eat.
Ready to Be Sent to Gaza: The frozen Qurbani meat will be properly packaged and made ready for transport into Gaza.
Given to the Most Needy Families: We are working very hard with trusted partners on the ground in Gaza. As soon as safe ways become available, we will ensure your Qurbani meat is quickly given to the most vulnerable families who are waiting for this help.
Our Promise to You: We are fully committed to overcoming the challenges to get this vital food to those who need it. We will try to provide updates to our donors as we are able.
Gaza is Hurting. Please Act Now, For Allah’s Sake
The suffering in Gaza is huge, but if we come together with compassion, we can make a real difference. This Eid al-Adha, your Qurbani is a special opportunity given by Allah to show your generosity and help those in desperate need.
Your sacrifice can be a true lifeline for families struggling to survive.
Every single Qurbani offered makes a difference. Every share of meat provides strength and eases hunger.
May Allah accept your Qurbani and your sincere intentions. May He reward you greatly in this life and the Hereafter. And may Allah bring ease, peace, and relief to our beloved brothers and sisters in Gaza soon. Ameen.
