QURBAN ON BEHALF OF A LOVED ONE

Qurban on Behalf of a Loved One: A Good Deed for Those We Love

Offering a Qurban on behalf of someone is an important act of worship and charity in Islam. It can be carried out for a living or a deceased relative or loved one, or a person may have it done in their own name, or with the intention that a lawful matter of theirs is resolved well. Alongside this, it also carries the benefit of drawing closer to Allah for reward and of helping Muslims who are in need. Here is more information on the benefits of a named Qurban and how it is carried out:

Helping Muslims in Need

The practice of Qurban is also seen as a way of helping Muslims who are in need. Once the Qurban is carried out, the meat is distributed to those in need, meeting a basic food need for them. This is one way of putting Islam's principles of solidarity and mutual support into practice.

How Is a Named Qurban Carried Out?

Those who wish to carry out a Qurban on behalf of someone can do so by leaving a proxy donation through various organisations and charities. Through Qurban.uk you can easily leave your proxy online, and receive a video message of the Qurban you had carried out within 12 hours.

Once the donation is made, the Qurbans are carried out properly by trained staff and the meat is distributed to those in need. This process ensures both that the act of worship is fulfilled correctly and that your donated Qurban is put to the best possible use.

Who Receives the Meat of the Qurban?

At Qurban.uk, we deliver your Qurban meat to orphans, families in need and students of knowledge in Africa and Central Asia. The real purpose of any good deed done for a departed loved one is to pray for them and to be a means for that prayer. For this reason, it is considered most virtuous for the Qurban to reach orphans and those in need who never knew the person. Being remembered in the prayers of orphans and those devoted to knowledge is one of the greatest blessings. If you would also like to fund a meal alongside your Qurban, an additional small donation is requested to cover the extra food costs, and this good deed is likewise carried out on your behalf.

Can I Register in Advance for a Specific Date?

When you make your Qurban donation through our website or by calling us, simply telling us when you would like the Qurban carried out is enough. You can note the special dates of the loved ones you wish to Qurban for in the comments section and set up an advance booking for the Qurban. You can register several different dates throughout the year in the same way. We aim to remind you of good deeds, so that you can remember your loved ones with charity. You can also easily set up monthly or regular Qurbans through our website, so you don't need to arrange it each time and there's no risk of forgetting.

Other Questions About a Named Qurban

• Are a named Qurban and a Qurban for the deceased the same thing?
  Both are voluntary Qurbans whose reward is dedicated to someone else. A named Qurban is carried out on behalf of a specific named person, who may be living or deceased. A Qurban for the deceased, on the other hand, is specifically for loved ones who have passed away.
• Can a named Qurban be carried out for someone who is still living?
  Yes, it can. You can name your mother, father, spouse, child, or anyone else you care about, and have a Qurban carried out with its reward dedicated to them. This is a beautiful act that strengthens family ties and is a means of good prayer.
• Is it necessary to specify a name when carrying out a named Qurban?
  Specifying a name is not required for the Qurban's validity; the intention is sufficient. However, when you do specify a name, a special prayer is made for that person during the Qurban, and a video recorded specially for them is sent to you. You can also name more than one person.
• When will I receive the video of the Qurban I had carried out?
  Videos recorded specially for named Qurbans are sent to you on average within 12 hours after the Qurban takes place. Through these videos, you can also clearly see who the Qurban meat has reached.
