Islamic Relief Worldwide -South Sudan is an international humanitarian organization that has been working with vulnerable communities in South Sudan since 2004. With funding from IR HQ, IRSS is currently implementing a seasonal project named Qurbani in South Sudan. Aimed at improving the food security of the beneficiaries through meat distribution. Qurbani means sacrifice. Every year during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah, Muslims around the world slaughter an animal –a goat, sheep, cow, or camel –in remembrance of the sacrifice that Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) made out of his strong faith in Allah. Ibrahim (AS) showed a willingness to sacrifice his son Prophet Ismail (A.S.) but his son was replaced with a lamb by Allah. Allah was so pleased with Ibrahim’s (A.S.) submission to Him that He made this demonstration of sacrifice and faith a permanent part of a Muslim’s life. This event is mentioned in Quran -Surah As-Saffat (37:102). Hence, every year on the 10th of Dhul Hijjah, Muslims all over the world celebrate Eid Al Adha. On this day, Muslims slaughter a lamb, sheep, goat, or a camel to honour the sacrifice of Ibrahim (AS). Both Eid ul Fitr and Eid Al-Adha have great significance in Islam. “That they may witness benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allah on known days over what He has provided for them of cattle. So, eat of them and feed the poor.” -Qur’an 22:28
