Aqiqah is a beautiful Islamic tradition performed to express gratitude to Allah for the blessing of a newborn child. It is a form of sacrifice that brings joy to families while extending mercy to those in need through the distribution of meat. By giving Aqiqah through Arsh Foundation, you fulfil a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and help provide nutritious food to vulnerable families.
“Every child is in pledge for his Aqiqah. It should be sacrificed for him on the seventh day.”
— (Abu Dawud)
