Eid al-Adha 2023: A time for faith and compassion

Eid al-Adha 2023 will be observed in the United States after sundown on Wednesday, June 28. Celebrated by Muslims worldwide, Eid al-Adha (meaning “Festival of Sacrifice”) signifies the importance of faith, humility, and compassion towards others. It is a time of reflection and gratitude, emphasizing the values of charity, community and unity.

Eid celebrations vary from country to country, and can include communal prayers, family gatherings, great feasts, and music and dance, depending on where you go. But the most important Eid tradition is unquestionably the sharing of one’s food.

Qurbani, the traditional sacrifice of an animal that occurs each Eid al-Adha, emphasizes selflessness and empathy towards those in need. Donating Qurbani to an organization like Embrace Relief is a way that you can make a significant impact in the lives of people all around the world struggling with hunger.

Embrace Relief’s International Hunger Relief: Qurbani 2023 campaign will reach tens of thousands of people in more than a dozen countries around the world, with an emphasis on impoverished communities in Africa and Yemen. Millions of individuals in these parts of the world face the daily challenge of hunger and malnutrition. By donating your Qurbani through Embrace Relief, you contribute to alleviating this crisis.

The protein-rich meat serves as a valuable source of nutrition, helping combat malnutrition and supporting the growth and development of children. Your donation can make a tangible difference in the lives of those who struggle to access adequate food, providing them with a nourishing meal during the time of Eid.

Moreover, your Qurbani donation can uplift spirits and instill a sense of dignity among the recipients. For many individuals and families living in poverty, meat is a luxury they seldom have the opportunity to enjoy. By offering this gift, you bring joy and happiness to their lives.
