Relief Qurbani

The Quran is a rich source of stories and teachings that have been passed down for generations. Among the most significant of these stories is that of Prophet Ibrahim’s sacrifice, which is commemorated every year during the Festival of Sacrifice, also known as Eid al-Adha.

Prophet Ibrahim was a devout follower of Allah, and one day, he had a dream in which he was commanded by Allah to sacrifice his son Ismail. Despite the immense love he had for his son, Prophet Ibrahim knew that this was a test of his faith and he was willing to do whatever Allah commanded.

As he prepared to sacrifice Ismail, Allah intervened and provided a ram in his place. This act of faith and obedience is celebrated by Muslims worldwide, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of trust and obedience to Allah’s will.

One of the ways in which Muslims celebrate this event is through the ritual of Qurbani, which involves sacrificing an animal during the Festival of Sacrifice. The meat from this sacrifice is then distributed to the poor and needy, symbolizing the significance of sharing and caring for others in the Muslim community.

However, Qurbani is not just a religious obligation. It is also a reminder of the importance of empathy and charity, and it serves as a time for Muslims to remember the less fortunate and to give back to the community in a meaningful way. By performing this act of kindness, Muslims can experience firsthand the joy and fulfillment that comes from helping others.

In recent years, Qurbani has become an increasingly important source of relief for those in need. Relief Qurbani is a way for Muslims to help those who are suffering from poverty, conflict, and natural disasters. By providing meat to those in need, relief Qurbani can help ensure that families have access to nutritious food during challenging times.

Relief Qurbani is an excellent way for Muslims to embody the spirit of compassion and generosity that is at the heart of Islam. By giving to those in need, Muslims can help to alleviate suffering and make a positive impact on the world. It is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

The story of Prophet Ibrahim’s sacrifice and the ritual of Qurbani serve as important reminders of the values of trust, obedience, and generosity that are central to Islam. As Muslims, we are called upon to emulate these values in our daily lives and to give back to our communities in meaningful ways. By performing relief Qurbani, we can help to alleviate suffering and make a positive impact on the world. Let us continue to embody the spirit of compassion and generosity that is at the heart of our faith and strive towards a better world for all.

Practicing Islamic Niyyah

The practice of niyyah in Islam is a crucial aspect of our faith. Niyyah is the act of intention, and it is believed that our intentions shape our actions and our destiny. As Muslims, it is important to make niyyah before performing any act, be it a small task or a major undertaking.

Niyyah is an Arabic word that means intention, purpose, or motive. It is a key concept in Islam, as it determines the validity and reward of one’s actions. According to Islamic teachings, one should have a sincere and pure niyyah for every act of worship, such as prayer, fasting, charity, pilgrimage, etc. One should also have a good niyyah for every worldly action, such as work, study, family, etc., and seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT) in everything they do. Niyyah is not only a verbal declaration, but also a state of mind and heart that reflects one’s faith and commitment to Islam.

Practicing Islamic niyyah means to constantly renew and purify one’s intention for the sake of Allah (SWT), and to align one’s actions with the guidance of the Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Practicing Islamic niyyah helps one to avoid hypocrisy, arrogance, ostentation, and other negative traits that can corrupt one’s deeds. Practicing Islamic niyyah also helps one to achieve excellence, sincerity, gratitude, and humility in one’s life. Practicing Islamic niyyah is a way of worshiping Allah (SWT) with one’s heart and mind, as well as one’s body and soul.

What are Payment Niyyah?
Payment Niyyah(intentions) are the specific purposes or causes that our donors choose or specify when they make their payments to us. Payment intentions can be general or specific, depending on the donor’s preference. For example, a donor can make a general payment intention for any charitable cause that we support, such as education, health, water, food, etc. Or, a donor can make a specific payment intention for a particular project, program, or country that we work in, such as building a school in Pakistan, providing medical aid in Yemen, digging a well in Somalia, etc.
By making a payment intention, our donors express their niyyah for their donation and seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT) in their action. By following their payment intention, we respect their niyyah and seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT) in our action.

How We Follow the Payment Intentions of Our Donors?
We follow the payment intentions of our donors by using a transparent and accountable system that ensures that every payment is spent according to its intended purpose or cause. We use the following steps to follow the payment intentions of our donors:

We record the payments and their payment intentions in our database and issue receipts or acknowledgments to our donors.
We allocate the payments according to their payment intentions to different categories or accounts that correspond to different purposes or causes that we support.
We monitor and track the spending of the payments according to their categories or accounts and ensure that they are used for their intended purposes or causes only.
We audit and verify the spending of the payments according to their categories or accounts and ensure that they are compliant with the Islamic principles and rules of finance.
We report and communicate the spending of the payments according to their categories or accounts to our donors and stakeholders through various channels, such as website, social media, etc.
We evaluate and measure the impact and outcome of the spending of the payments according to their categories or accounts on the beneficiaries and society.

Why We Follow the Payment Intentions of Our Donors?
We follow the payment intentions of our donors because we believe that it is our duty and responsibility as an Islamic charity institute to do so. We follow the payment intentions of our donors because:

It is a way of fulfilling our trust (amanah) with our donors who entrust us with their donations and contributions.

It is a way of increasing their confidence and satisfaction with our work and services and encouraging them to continue supporting us in the future.

We at the Islamic charity institute, all our efforts are to carefully follow all the payment intentions of our donors and spend their payments according to their intentions. We do this because we value their trust and confidence in us, we respect their wishes and preferences regarding how they want their payments to be spent, we honor their niyyah (intention) for their payments and seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT) in their action, we ensure that their payments are spent in a halal (permissible) and effective manner that benefits the needy and the oppressed in the world, and we increase their confidence and satisfaction with our work and services and encourage them to continue supporting us in the future.

Respecting Humanity in the Light of the Quran

The Quran teaches Muslims to respect all of humanity and treat people with compassion, kindness and justice. The core concept of ‘insan’, meaning human being, underlies a universal ethic of human dignity that transcends race, religion and other differences.

Insight from the Quran
The Quran refers to humans as “insan”, emphasizing our shared nature as beings blessed with reason, free will and the ability to discern right from wrong. Allah created humans “in the best make” and honored us as His representatives or “khalifa” on earth (95:4). Every soul will be held accountable before Allah for how it lived and treated others (33:72).

The Quran teaches that all humans descend from the same parents, Adam and Eve, making us truly one family (49:13). It denounces prejudice based on race, ethnicity or social status, instructing believers to “consort with mankind in the best possible manner” (4:36). Muslims are commanded to speak justly, even to enemies, and “defend the orphan, plead for the widows, clothe the naked, feed the hungry and befriend the strangers” (2:83, 177).

Respecting Life and Dignity
The Quran considers killing an innocent human as killing all of humanity, emphasizing the sacredness of every person’s life (5:32). It condemns atrocities like female infanticide, harsh punishments and unjustified violence (16:58-59; 17:31). Each person’s dignity and honor are inviolable. The Prophet Muhammad himself modeled treating all people, from the wealthy to slaves, with dignity, compassion and justice.

The moral principles of justice, mercy, modesty, honesty and kindness shown to all are hallmarks of Islamic teachings.The Prophet instructed Muslims: “You will not enter paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another.” True faith means respecting the humanity in every soul.

Reflecting Allah’s Justice and Mercy
By respecting human dignity and protecting the rights of others, Muslims reflect Allah’s attributes of justice and mercy.The Quranic principle of “amr bi al-ma’ruf wa nahi `an al-munkar” -enjoining good and forbidding wrong- means speaking truth to injustice and oppression. But it is done in a spirit of wisdom, gentleness and compassion, not malice or hatred.

How we regard and treat our fellow humans will determine how Allah regards us on the Day of Judgment. The Quran reminds believers: “Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, and be good to parents, relatives, orphans, the needy, neighbors near and far, traveling companions,beggars and slaves. Allah does not love anyone who is arrogant, proud” (4:36). Let these noble verses guide us to respect and uplift humanity in the light of the Quran.
