QURBAN COLLECTION CAMPAIGN
Requirements
As practised by the Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) annually, this sacred duty has to be fulfilled during the three days of the Eid ul Adha (on the 10th, 11th and 12th of the Islamic month of Zilhijjah). It is only in these days that slaughtering of an animal is recognised as an act of worship.
It is compulsory for every muslim male and female to make this sacrifice in the name of God who;
Ø is of sound mind
Ø has attained puberty
Ø is in possession of nisaab at that point in time (not necessarily for one Islamic calendar year).
Nisaab is the value of excess wealth that makes a muslim liable for zakaat (islamic charity). It is calculated as the equivalent capital value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.32 grams of silver. In the event of a disparity between the value of gold and silver, the lower of the two values will be used to calculate the nisaab, in the interest of the poor and needy.
Assessment of our 2008 Qurban Campaign
It gives us immense plasure to inform you that no of qurbans collected in our 2008 campaign rose by 15% as compared to our 2007 figures - with thousands of qurbans donated from various states of Australia, NSW Islamic Federations and also from overseas.
During our 2008 campaign, our representatives in several Asia Pacific countries distributed your qurbans to poor families, orphanages, mosques, madrasas, hospitals, correction centres and also care facilities for the HIV patients.
Moreover, two of our volunteers attended the qurban slaughtering and distribution process in Cambodia. While distributing your qurbans, our volunteers shared the happiness of thousands of people who struggle to live their lives on the poverty line and witnessed their prayers as a result of your donations.
2009 Campaign
 |
We officially launched our 2009 qurban collection campaign mid October 2009 as the Eid-ul-Adha will be celebrated between 27 and 30 November in 2009.
This year, your qurbans will be sent to Indonesia, Philippinnes, Pakistan, Laos, Vietnam and Ghana.
Remember that two earthquakes that took place in Indonesia in early October 2009 claimed thousands of lives, and left thousands of people injured and homeless. We kindly ask for your extra support for our brothers and sisters who are struggling in Indonesia.
In addition to your compulsory donations, we therefore encourage people to send their nafilah, nazr and aqiqa qurban donations on behalf of the Prophets, the companions of the prophets, deceased parents and grandparents as well as newborn children during our 2009 qurban collection campaign.
