The Qurbani Certificate: What It Is, Why It Matters and How to Get Yours

A Qurbani Certificate is a personalised document confirming that your Qurbani has been performed correctly, in your name, with your specific animal, on the days of Eid al-Adha. It is the tangible proof that your Ibadah was fulfilled. It carries your name, the details of your sacrifice, a Quranic verse, a scholar endorsement, and an official stamp.

For Muslims living abroad who cannot witness their Qurbani directly, a named certificate is more than a piece of paper. It is the documented record of one of the most beloved acts of worship you can perform. It is your connection to the sacrifice of Ibrahim (AS) that was performed in your name on the plains of Pakistan on the day of Eid al-Adha.

What Does a Qurbani Certificate Contain?

A properly designed Qurbani Certificate from Qurbani for Unity contains the following information:

• Your full name as entered at the time of booking (this is the name your Qurbani was performed for)
• Your city and country
• The animal type and tier: for example, Goat Standard or Cow Share Premium
• The date of slaughter: 10 Dhul Hijjah 1447 AH (27 May 2026)
• The distribution location: Punjab, Pakistan
• Your order reference number for verification
• The Quranic verse: Surah Al-Hajj 22:37 in Arabic and English
• A scholar endorsement confirming Shariah compliance
• The official seal of Qurbani for Unity
• A QR code linking to an online verification page where the certificate can be confirmed as authentic

The certificate is delivered as a high-resolution PDF by email within 24 hours of your Qurbani being performed. For Standard and Premium tier customers, it is included at no additional cost. Economy tier customers can add it for $10 at checkout.

A physical printed certificate, on premium 200 GSM paper with gold foil detailing, can be mailed to your address for an additional $15.

Why a Named Certificate Matters More Than a Generic Confirmation

Most Qurbani services, if they send any confirmation at all, send a generic email or PDF that says something along the lines of ‘Your Qurbani has been performed.’ It may not have your name prominently displayed. It may not include the animal details or the specific date. It is essentially a receipt.

A named Qurbani Certificate is a different thing entirely. It is a document worthy of the act it confirms. When you look at it, you see your name in the centre of a beautifully designed page, surrounded by Quranic calligraphy, bearing the Islamic date, attesting that this specific act of worship was performed for you. It is something worth keeping.

Many of our customers print their certificates and frame them. Parents send them to their children as a record of the family’s Qurbani. The certificate becomes an heirloom of faith.

The Named Distribution Bag: Completing the Journey

The certificate documents the slaughter. The Named Distribution Bag extends your name to the other end of the journey: the moment your Qurbani meat reaches a family in Pakistan.

When you add the Named Distribution Bag to your order, we print your name on the bag. The bag is handed to the recipient family. We photograph that handover and send the image to you.

Certificate and Named Bag together represent the complete documentation of your Qurbani. From the moment of slaughter to the moment of distribution. Your name, witnessed at every stage. [LINK: /named-distribution-bag-qurbani]
