QURBAN IN CAMBODIA
QURBAN IN CAMBODIA
Islam is the religion of a majority of the Cham and Malay minorities in Cambodia. According to Po Dharma, there were 150,000 to 200,000 Muslims in Cambodia.
In Muslim cultures around the world, there are two main celebrations which are of most importance, one being Eid Al Fitr, the celebration of the end of the fasting month, and Eid Al Adha, also known as the festival of Sacrifice.
It is during this time Muslims prepare a sacrifice in the form of a meat hamper or distribution also known as Qurban. To give Qurban is to not only remind us of the humility of the human spirit, but to also help feed those who are less fortunate. In many cases, there are some poor communities in the world that only eat meat during the Qurban period because of their inability to afford meat. The animals which will be part of the Qurban will consist of cow, sheep or goat.
Last year in Cambodia AR-RIYADH Qurban gives benefit to hundreds of poor people in Cambodia. This year, with your support, we want to reach even more people and share the joy this coming Eid al-Adha insha’Allah. Animals are purchased locally so you also help local farmers and their community. We will distribute the fresh meat immediately on the days of Eid in accordance with the Shariah.
All praise to ALLAH The All-Mighty That helps us to perform the worship of Qurban & Aqiqah in Cambodia with success this year with participations from Singapore.
This year Ar-riyaadh in collaboration with MCDA mange to perform Qurban in 8 provinces in Cambodia: Phnom Penh, Pursat, Battambong, Kampong Cham, Kratie, Kampong Thom & Stung Treng.

May Allah Jalla Wa’ula reward you and your families with Taqwa and bless you with Jannah, Jannatul Firdaus, Amee
