Aqeeqah

The arrival of a newborn is a moment of happiness and celebration for every family. In the midst of these joyous moments, Islam reminds us of our responsibilities towards the less fortunate. The Aqeeqah (also known as Aqiqah) ceremony, is a Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and signifies this beautiful blend of gratitude and responsibility.  Aqeeqah is typically performed on the seventh day after a child’s birth.   When a baby is born, the parents perform Aqeeqah for the child by slaughtering two goats or sheep for a boy, and one sheep or goat for a girl. Muslims are encouraged to shave their child’s head and donate the weight of their child’s hair in silver to vulnerable families, ensuring that the blessings of the newborn are shared with those in need.

MAA’s Aqeeqah Project 

MAA International ensures that your Aqeeqah is conducted where it’s most needed globally, ensuring that the blessings reach far and wide. In many countries, the luxury of consuming meat is beyond the reach of many due to its high cost. The Aqeeqah Project ensures that these families get a chance to cook meat for their loved ones, bringing them joy and nourishment. MAA’s dedicated staff distribute fresh meat packs to the most at-risk globally, focusing on those grappling with food insecurity.  

For every Aqeeqah carried out, MAA ensures transparency by providing donors with a comprehensive report. This includes images, the location of the distribution, the number of beneficiaries, and heartfelt testimonials.

Note: At MAA, we believe we have a duty to fight injustice at every level, big and small. It’s not enough to give aid to the most vulnerable and marginalised after harm has befallen them; we must stand up for them and empower their voices. To fulfil our collective obligation, MAA may dedicate a portion of your sadaqah donations to this cause to create change and dismantle the forces that harm the most marginalised.
