Qurbani Waqf
Islamic Relief has almost 20 years of experience in the Qurbani project - a seasonal relief programme. Muslims donate the cost of a sheep or cow to be sacrificed on their behalf by Islamic Relief and the meat is then distributed to the poor. For many people the Qurbani is the only meat they will have eaten that year.

Your participation in the Qurbani* Waqf project means that profits generated from this fund will annually be used to support Qurbani meat distribution in areas where the need is greatest.

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “For every hair on the sacrificial animal, a reward will be recorded for the person making the Qurbani. ” (Hadith; Muslim)

*Whilst the purchase of Qurbani Waqf is regarded as a form of ongoing charity, it does not exempt a person from their obligatory duty to make a Qurbani in the month of Dhul Hijja every year.

The Muslim Support Association is a local group that caters for  the social and religious needs of Muslims in their area. After  many years  of raising  funds, the  association  has recently completed the construction of a mosque. They find that they have nearly £6,500 in extra funds and are keen to spend it on an ongoing charitable project. An Islamic Relief fundraiser is invited to the Muslim Support Association. Committee members ask how the Waqf Future Fund works. After some further questions and clarifications, the committee is so impressed with the scheme, it decides to invest in one of each of the seven Waqf projects.
