The first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are often referred to as the best ten days of the year, and a second chance after Ramadan. For those of us not performing the Hajj pilgrimage this year, this is still a great time of blessing and immense reward.

The Day of ‘Arafah is on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah and is one of the most important days in the Islamic calendar. This year the Day of ‘Arafah is expected to fall on Saturday 15th June 2024.

‘The Prophet (saw) 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]

After fulfilling his personal obligation, the Prophet (saw) gave an additional Qurbani on behalf of the Muslims who could not afford to do so. We encourage all of our donors to revive this forgotten Sunnah and help more needy people.

Muslims are taught to fast on the first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah. As an important sunnah, Dhul Hijjah fasting  brings great rewards and forgiveness of sins. 

We work hard to ensure that the meat from your Qurbani is distributed to those in need during the days of Eid al-Adha.

According to the majority of scholars, if you are taking part in Qurbani, it is recommended to refrain from cutting your nails and hair from the first day of Dhul Hijjah up until the moment the Qurbani (sacrifice) has been made.
