QURBANI PROGRAM PAKISTAN 2011

Sacrifice, commonly known as Qurbani, means slaughter of an animal in the name of Allah

on the 10th, 11th or 12th of the Islamic month of Zil Hijjah.

It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him: He has thus made them subject to you that ye may glorify Allah for His guidance to you: and proclaim the Good

News to all who do right.

In chain cycle, each day thousands of animal are killed for food purpose and there is nothing

wrong about this. But if we kill an animal just to please the divine power and then discard the dead

body of animal, I think it is shameful. if you understand the purpose of qurbani/sacrifice in Islam

you will be soon aware of the fact that at Eid-ul azha/eid-ul-Qurban, sacrifice is done by Muslims

not by animal. Because for animals it is a daily routine to be killed by man in cities or by beast in

the jungle as food chain. At Eid-e Qurban Muslims sacrifice their money to buy the best available

animal according to their financial position and then they sacrifice time, to manage all necessary

arrangement to slaughter the animal and distribute it in needy persons.

So Islam does not want muslim to " just kill a living being " for the sake of ALLAH but Islam

demands a muslim to show his affection for his ALLAH with in the natural circle ( kill and live)

So to please Almighty Allah by their deed Denis Feneri (Turkey) and The NGO World Foundation

(Pakistan) slaughtered 121 large animals (Cows) for the help of poor families of Pakistan on this

Eid ul Azha and the purpose of this act was;

To fulfill Sunnat e Ibrahimi;

To facilitate and help the poor families;

To turn people’s attention towards flood affectees.

“Denis Feneri” allotted a plan to “The NGO World” which consists of slaughtering of 121 animals

and for this purpose they asked prices of animals from different sources and in the end purchased

animals by signing an agreement. One day before Eid, animals were transported to Layyah and

Khanewal distributed in different UC’s in custody of reliable local personalities. In District Layyah

and Khanewal The NGO World managed this activity under supervision of representatives of

Deniz Feneri Mr. Selcuk.

A team of volunteers under leadership of brother Mohammad Arshad identified Three locations for

slaughtering the animals. These 121 animals were slaughtered on these locations and meat was

distributed among poor flood affectees of surroundings.
