Introduction

Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the holiest occasions in the Islamic calendar. It commemorates the unwavering submission of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) and his son Ismail (A.S) to the will of Allah ﷻ—a story that teaches us about devotion, trust, sacrifice, and divine reward.

This sacred celebration calls us not only to honour ritual and charity but also to reflect on how we lead our lives—including how we earn, spend, and give. At Islamic Finance Review (IFR), this moment is also an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to ethical finance, economic justice, and collective empowerment.

“Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you.”
— Surah Al-Hajj (22:37)

A Celebration Rooted in Sacrifice and Equity

The essence of Eid al-Adha lies in remembering that real sacrifice is not material—it is about giving up ego, wealth, and desires for the greater good. In today’s interconnected world, sacrifice extends beyond the act of Qurbani. It includes:

• Supporting those in financial hardship

• Sharing resources with dignity

• Promoting transparency, fairness, and justice in financial systems

This is where the values of Islamic finance and Eid al-Adha converge.

Financial Ethics in the Spirit of Eid

As Muslims globally engage in charity and distribution, it is vital to uphold the ethical principles taught by our religion:

• Zakat and Sadaqah during Eid serve as instruments of wealth purification and redistribution

• Avoiding riba (interest) during financial dealings protects economic justice

• Transparency (al-ṣidq) in transactions ensures we fulfil our trusts before Allah and society

At IFR, we believe that promoting these principles through education, ethical banking models, and Islamic investment insights is part of our collective spiritual duty.

Eid, Community & the Future of Faith-Based Finance

This Eid, let us reimagine sacrifice not only in personal devotion but in building communities where:

• Microfinance uplifts entrepreneurs

• Zakat reaches the truly needy through blockchain transparency

• Halal investments power sustainable development

• Faith-driven finance creates lasting impact, not just profit

The spirit of Eid reminds us: prosperity must be shared, not hoarded.

🕋 A Dua for Our Readers

May Allah ﷻ accept our sacrifices, expand our rizq, and grant barakah in all our efforts—both spiritual and financial.

“Indeed, with hardship comes ease.”
— Surah Ash-Sharh (94:6)
