With a licence from the Regulatory Authority for Charitable Activities, Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has launched its annual Adahi project for the year 1444 AH under the slogan 'Humanity first...Your sacrifice makes them happy', in order to facilitate the ritual of sacrifice for everyone.Through this initiative, donations can be made to QRCS, which will then distribute the sacrifice to beneficiaries within Qatar and in 18 countries in Asia, Africa and the Balkans, in co-operation with its global partners, a press statement notes.The necessary arrangements have been made to provide the sacrificial donations during the project period. This has been done so that the sacrifices of lamb, goats and cows are slaughtered and their meat is distributed at the legal times specified for slaughter, in the form of food rations for the benefit of 59,736 beneficiaries, of whom 4,476 beneficiaries represent needy families in Qatar, the statement explains.In this regard, Faisal Mohamed al-Emadi, QRCS’s acting secretary-general, wished the people of Qatar, all Islamic peoples and the entire world a blessed Eid al-Adha and said: "We seek, at Qatar Red Crescent, to meet and delight people in different countries, especially those countries that suffer from the scourge of displacement as a result of crises and disasters. Perhaps the approaching Eid al-Adha is an opportunity for us to reach the most vulnerable populations, as well as an opportunity for donors to open a door of goodness, as the sacrifice is a ritual of the faith, and it has a positive impact on the community."Nothing less than that is intended for those who are able to offer sacrifices at the appropriate times as a means of approaching the Lord Almighty and in keeping with the noble passage from the Qur'an that reads, 'So eat from it and feed the miserable and the poor'.”The sacrifice project, which QRCS conducts before and during Eid al-Adha every year, is significant because it accomplishes a number of admirable religious and humanitarian purposes, the statement points out.On the one hand, it makes it easier for those who want to make the sacrifice and spares them the trouble of having to go through the necessary buying, butchering and distributing processes. On the other, it gives the hungry people in the world the food they need, particularly the meat that is not typically available to them throughout the rest of the year.Thirdly, it promotes initiatives to enhance food security and improve the quality of life for economically disadvantaged families.This project also aids in the performance of a religious practice that Muslims all over the world value and serves to spread happiness, a sense of fraternity, and human solidarity.Regarding the method of project implementation, QRCS was eager to categorise the project into the following three groups:
