ICNA Qurbani Program 2012
Phase I
Completion Report
1.0 Introduction
Animal Sacrifice Program, i.e. Qurbani/Zabiha program in Islamic term is a regular annual
program of Islamic Aid Bangladesh (IAB). The program is implemented during Eidul Azha, the
second greatest annual festival of the Muslim worldwide. It falls on 10 th Zilhajj every year
elsewhere in the world while it is on the 9th Zilhajj in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, the day being the
day of Pilgrimage (Hajj). The occasion, according to Islamic Shariah, is the Eidul Azha festivities
extending over three consecutive days (10-12 Zilhajj): the 10th Zilhajj being the Eid Day for
saying prayers in congregation followed by animal sacrifice program while the two other days
are for animal sacrifice only. The significance of the program is reflected in the term ‘sacrifice’.
because Muslims all over the world stage a display of sacrifice for their fellow brethren who are
not well off by sharing wealth/resources with then in different forms including sharing meat of
sacrificed animals including cows, goats, buffaloes, sheep and so on. The festival is celebrated
as a festival of sacrifice for God and His creations following the footprints of Hazrat Ibrahim
(AS), the father of the Muslim Nation Who displayed highest level of sacrifice by offering to
slaughter His dearest son at the command of Allah (SWT).
This project was designed to feed the poor Muslims and their family members, help them
participate in the joys of the happy Eidul Azha, help the poor and needy in general in removing
their poverty, malnutrition, ill-health and so on. A little more will also do the same for his/her
family members as well.
As a development partner of Bangladesh Government the IAB has been implementing a
number of charity, welfare as well as development programs at grass root level in different
regions of Bangladesh since its inception in 1990. These include: non-formal education, health
and sanitation, orphans support, Iftar feasting, Zakat, Sadaka and Fitra collection and
distribution, Qurbani and frozen meat distribution, emergency relief and disaster management
programs and so on. The organization has over the last two decades gained adequate
experience and expertise of implementing such programs with the help of its experienced and
committed staff members.
In Bangladesh, most of the poor families do not have enough earning to arrange even their
daily meal; therefore, they cannot imagine performing qurbani as their religious duty. Such
people below poverty line now count about 50% of the total population who have less than $2
income/day and are called ultra-poor including such people who are extremely needy called
destitute (about 25%) who are homeless/shelter less, jobless and victims disasters like
cyclone/flood, monga (acute food and employment crisis in northern Bangladesh) and so on.
These poor and needy people cannot afford to fulfill their daily minimum calorie need and
eagerly await the day of Eid-ul-Azha hoping to pass a happy day sharing something with their
rich and well off brethren of faith. They expect the solvent people to come forward with
assistance for them on the occasion of Eid. The unlucky distressed people cannot eat meat even
once in a month even perhaps a year. In this context, the animal sacrifice program has special
importance. Through this program we hope to stand by the indigent and hard-core poor people
with our limited capacity. Qurbani Program may bring a flash of smile to their lips on the
occasion of Eid-ul-Azha. Islamic Aid Bangladesh will perform qurbani on behalf of donors in
different locations and will distribute the meat among needy and helpless poor. We distribute
about 1 to 2 kg of meat for each family and thus about 9,825 families will be supported under
this program.
Objective
With the broader framework of development, this charity oriented nutrition program mainly
aims:
1. To fulfill nutritional needs of the poor and ultra-poor for 3 days
2. To ensure participation of the poor/needy and well off families alike in the joys of the
festival of Holy Eidul Azha
3. To strengthen the bond of fraternity between the rich and the poor
Service Components
With a view to achieving the above mentioned objectives, the following components will be
implemented under program:
1. Qurbani awareness discussion meetings at central and field levels
2. Sacrifice of 20 cows and 50 goats
3. Distribution of Qurbani meat among the poor and needy
According practice in Bangladesh, the commonly available animals for qurbani program like
bulls and goats were purchased from local markets at competitive rates and were slaughtered on
Eid Day and the following day. The meat was distributed among the target population with
cooperation of different stakeholders/community leaders.
Target Group/Beneficiaries
The following categories of people will be selected for the program as target beneficiaries.
1. Ultra-poor and needy community members especially extremely suffering victims of
disasters who need special care and attention.
2. Flood affected families in different regions of the country.
