Aqiqah

Childbirth is a moment of immense joy and gratitude. In Islam, the tradition of Aqiqah offers a way to celebrate this blessing while helping those in need. By donating your Aqiqah through Africa Relief, you can honor this Sunnah and bring relief to vulnerable families across Africa.

What is Aqiqah?

Aqiqah is a beloved Islamic tradition involving the sacrifice of an animal, typically a sheep or goat, as an expression of gratitude for the birth of a child. This act follows the example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who performed Aqiqah for his grandsons, Al-Hasan and Al-Husain (peace be upon them).

Why Donate Your Aqiqah Through ARCD?

• Spiritual Fulfillment:
  Follow the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) while expressing gratitude to Allah for your child’s birth.

  In many communities across Africa, meat is a rare luxury. Your Aqiqah provides nutritious meals to widows, orphans, the elderly, and displaced families.
