Sacrifice

Being aware of the blessings Allah has bestowed upon us, one of the deepest ways to draw closer to Him is to sacrifice an animal. The unforgettable moment between Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and his son Ismail (peace be upon him), mentioned in the Quran, constantly reminds us of the importance of sacrifice and our devotion to it. However, sacrifice is more than just an act of worship. It is the embodiment of sharing, brotherhood, and love. It is an outstretched hand to our brothers and sisters around the world who are struggling with hunger, poverty, loneliness, and helplessness.

This aid, in the form of meat, sent to our oppressed brethren, also returns to their faces as a smile and to their hearts as hope. While sharing that meat, we not only provide physical nourishment but also spiritual fulfillment. Each sacrifice we send to these brothers and sisters conveys the message, "You are not alone, we have not forgotten you."

In this unique opportunity granted to us by Allah, you can fulfill your sacrifices through the Yetim Ehli Association. In addition to your sacrifice, you can share your gratitude to Allah, the sincere intentions of your heart, and your charitable offerings with us. We will deliver these trusts to the needy in the unknown regions. Let us reach out to the orphans, the poor, and the students of knowledge, both at home and abroad. We will share the trace of this act of worship and assistance by sending you the slaughter video.

Types of Sacrifice

Sacrifice is an act of worship that can be performed for various reasons. Now let's briefly recall some types of sacrifice:
