Introduction

Muslim Aid Australia has been organising Qurban since 1989 on behalf of donors, for distribution as FoodAid to the world’s needy. Each recipient country’s needs and logistics will be assessed so as to distribute the most effective form of Qurban with your donations. At the same time, as part of MAA’s effort to provide quality FoodAid distribution to the world’s needy communities, MAA sources livestock according to Islamic specifications.
MAA conducts Qurban in three different forms – canned, frozen, and local slaughter.

Canned Qurban
The canning of Qurban is the most viable alternative in poor, drought-stricken and war-torn places lacking infrastructure such as electricity. Canned meat provides longer shelf life, allowing the poor and destitute sustain their families for a longer period in times of calamity and trials.

Frozen Qurban
Where possible, MAA distributes frozen Qurban meat in areas where it sees as more culturally appropriate and having the right infrastructure. This allows such communities to use frozen meat for food preparation.

Local Slaughter
MAA organises local slaughter in some countries where your contributions assist in the ongoing sustainability of the community by supporting local farmers. The needy communities also benefit from non-meat products such as skin and wool.

The slaughter took place on 10-12 Zulhijjah 1426H (Jan 10-12, 2006) and was witnessed by representatives from MAA, MA Asia, Ampro Singapore and Saff-Perdaus. The boneless meat of the sheep was transported to Malaysia for canning.

Located on the east coast town of Kuala Terengganu, Pertima is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Terengganu State Economic Development Corporation.
