Each year, Muslims are obligated to implement the Qurban ritual as they come to the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th of Zulhijjah.
Beyond the story of sacrifice of the prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) and his son prophet Ismail (pbuh), the calling towards the unity and compassion with one another are clearly depicted when the rich are made to come together and share parts of what they possess with their Muslim brothers especially the poor.
As the prohet Muhammad SAW said in a hadith as narrated by Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim, “The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness
and fever.”
MAPIM and a coalition of NGO and associations from local and overseas invite all Muslims to answer the call for Qurban across borders, putting aside the differences we have to reach the poor, the underprivileged and the oppressed.
This is our chance to bring about happiness and change for the ones who deserve a taste of the blessings granted upon us.
Spend for Qurban and may it become your ballast on the balance during the day of Judgement !!!
Saban tahun, umat Islam dituntut agar melaksanakan ibadat Qurban bila tibanya 10, 11, 12 dan 13 Zulhijjah. Di sebalik ibrah dan pengorbanan Nabi Ibrahim a.s dan puteranya Nabi Ismail a.s, di sana juga terselit simbol perpaduan dan kesatuan Ummah bila mana kita dituntut mengorbankan sebahagian kesenangan harta untuk memberi kebahagaian kepada saudara seaqidah yang lain lebih-lebih lagi golongan fakir miskin.
Bersesuaian dengan sabda Rasullullah s.a.w. “Perumpamaan orang yang beriman yang berkasih sayang, adalah seumpama satu tubuh. Apabila satu anggota mengadu sakit, maka seluruh tubuh akan merasainya dan membantunya dengan berjaga malam.” (HR Muslim)
MAPIM dan gabungan beberapa NGO dan Persatuan termasuk dari luar negara mempelawa seluruh umat Islam melaksanakan ibadat Qurban merentas sempadan di negara-negara yang umat Islamnya miskin, terpinggir dan dizalimi. Kita yang serba mencukupi dan mewah perlu membantu serta mengutamakan mereka yang lebih berhak.
Ayuh !!!, laksanakan Qurban anda sebagai pemberat neraca timbangan pahala di Yaumul Mahsyar nanti !!!
