THE IMPORTANCE OF QURBAN

---

Eid al-Adha, the second of the two major Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year, marks the conclusion of the Hajj pilgrimage. It symbolizes sacrifice, faith, and obedience to Allah SWT commandments.

Eid al-Adha 2024 is anticipated to fall from the evening of Sunday June 16 until the evening of Thursday June 20, subject to the sighting of the moon. It is a time for prayer, reflection, and gratitude, as Muslims worldwide come together to honour Prophet Ibrahim AS unwavering devotion to Allah SWT.

Qurban, derived from the Arabic word 'qurbān,' meaning sacrifice, is a fundamental aspect of Eid al-Adha. Muslims offer a prescribed animal as an act of worship and obedience. The meat is distributed among family, neighbours, and those in need, fostering unity and compassion within the community.

Qurban is obligatory for Muslims who meet specific criteria, including possessing wealth beyond their basic needs and fulfilling other conditions outlined in Islamic jurisprudence. The act of Qurban reflects one's commitment to faith, charity, and compassion towards others.

The timing for Qurban coincides with the days of Eid al-Adha, following the performance of the Eid prayer. It is recommended to perform Qurban on the 10th, 11th, or 12th of Dhul-Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic lunar calendar. By promptly fulfilling your Qurban obligation, you participate in the timeless act of worship of sacrifice and charity upheld by Prophet Ibrahim AS.

As Eid al-Adha approaches, let us embrace the spirit of sacrifice, generosity, and community. 

With The Herdsman, your trusted partner in Singapore, you can fulfil your Qurban obligation with ease and sincerity. May this Eid bring blessings, joy, and spiritual fulfilment to all.

The package varies depending on the country where the sacrifice is being given. Generally, a certificate and the image of your sacrifice will be provided for sacrifices done in all countries except for Australia, Yemen and Saudi. Due to the regulation in those countries, no images will be provided for sacrifices made there. If you wish to have the meat shipped to your home, we provide this service exclusively for Australian orders only and kindly choose home delivery when making payment.

• Australia - Meat (optional and to SG only) & Certificate

The image and certificate will be sent to your WhatsApp personally by our team within one month after the sacrifice is completed.
