Qurbani Projects are Carried out all over the World including Palestine, Iraq, Chechnya, Albania, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Burma. The slaughter of a small (domestic) grazing animal e.g. sheep, ram, goat, etc suffices per person, and a large (domestic) grazing animal e.g. cow, buffalo, camel, etc suffices for seven people. For many Muslims around the world the only time they can eat meat is during the time of Qurbani. This is the sacrifice as ordained upon Muslims to be given at the time of Eid al-Adha. Every Muslim adult; male and female – as long as possessing Nisab – are required (Wajib) to offer this sacrifice. The rewards are the same and the benefits include feeding the poor. Costs vary between countries, with the cheapest being around £30 for one part. In addition to it being an ordained act and a Sunnah of Ibrahim (Alayhis-Salaam) and of all Muslims, The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) has said that for every hair of his/her sacrificed animal a person will get a reward.

Since the first Chechen War in 1994 the people of Chechnya have been suffering silently. There has been no recent population census of Chechnya but it is believed that there are now less than 600,000 Chechens remaining in the world and a large number of them are women, children and the elderly. Many Chechens are now residing in neighbouring countries such as Ingushetia, Dagestan and Azerbaijan as refugees. In a recent visit to Azerbaijan by our representatives, the real facts regarding their plight and desperate situation was uncovered. There are over 3,500 official Chechen refugees in Azerbaijan, in need of food and shelter. Over the last 3 years UWT has been fortunate to care for approximately 150 orphans from the most deserving families on behalf of our donors. Qurbani projects have also been carried out.
