2026 Mandatory Sacrifice
Preparations Are Complete
As the ILA Association, during this blessed season when we experience the spirit of mutual aid and solidarity in its purest form, we have completed our preparations for the 2026 obligatory sacrifice with the utmost care.
We ensured that our sacrificial animals underwent Islamic and health inspections. We oversaw the purchasing process. Following consultations with local authorities, we identified families in need. We will distribute the meat in a controlled manner during the holiday. Additionally, through the sacrifice of these animals, we will meet the annual meat needs of the students studying the Quran here. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed on their behalf. We wish you a blessed holiday.
The Strategic Planning Process and Professional Preparation
Wajib Sacrifice
As we approach Eid al-Adha, our excitement and preparations increase. This year, we have completed the planning process to fulfill our obligatory sacrifice in the best way possible.
In our planning, we take into account issues such as hygiene, animal welfare and environmental sensitivity, in addition to complying with religious rules.
As we prepare for Eid al-Adha, we will also include the sharing of sacrificial meat in our plans so that we do not forget people in need and deliver meat to them.
Rigorous Animal Sourcing and Veterinary Inspections
Providing healthy animals raised in accordance with religious rules and respect for animals is one of the most important elements of our sacrificial worship. For this reason, we have meticulously selected our sacrificial animals.
We ensure that the animals we select are inspected by official veterinarians to ensure that they comply with health and hygiene rules. We also observe the welfare of the animals during the transportation and waiting processes and take the necessary measures to prevent them from being exposed to stress.
Hygienic Processing and Coordinated Distribution Network
After the sacrifice, it is of utmost importance that the meat is properly processed in a hygienic environment. To this end, we have collaborated with facilities that have the necessary equipment and vehicles for meat processing.
We establish a planned distribution system to deliver processed meat to those in need in the shortest time and in the healthiest way possible. Working in coordination with aid organizations and neighborhood mukhtars, we ensure that the meat is distributed fairly and with priority given to those in need.
Sacrifice: A Spiritual Bridge of Solidarity
Aid during Eid al-Adha is not only material aid, but also spiritual aid. Sharing the meat of sacrifice gives people the happiness of helping and making them happy. This feeling also contributes to the development of feelings of love, respect and compassion in society.
In conclusion, beyond just fulfilling a religious obligation, Eid al-Adha aid is an important obligation that keeps the spirit of solidarity and solidarity alive in society, helps people in need, develops feelings of love, respect and compassion, contributes to the prevention of hunger and poverty, and acts as a bridge between people of different income groups and social statuses in society.
