Kuala Lumpur, 10 Zulhijjah 1446H – As the ummah around the world commemorates the holy celebration of Aidiladha, we are reminded once again of the timeless values of sacrifice, obedience, and sincerity in our journey toward Allah SWT.

At Akademi Zakat (AZKA-PPZ), this sacred occasion serves as a spiritual anchor — drawing us closer to the meaning of true submission and the willingness to give for the sake of others. Inspired by the legacy of Prophet Ibrahim A.S. and his son Ismail A.S., Aidiladha teaches us that the greatest offerings are not measured by quantity, but by the depth of our niyyah (intention) and the strength of our faith.

Sacrifice in Every Form

In today’s world, the concept of qurban extends beyond the act of slaughtering livestock. It is also about sacrificing time, ego, wealth, and comfort for a higher cause. Whether we are corporate leaders, public servants, educators, or professionals, each of us has the opportunity to perform small but meaningful acts of service — be it in the form of zakat, sedekah, or sincere contribution to the ummah.

As shared in this year’s Aidiladha greeting by Dr. Muhsin Nor Paizin, Manager of AZKA-PPZ:

“May every sacrifice made — no matter how small or great — be accepted by Allah SWT as an act of worship.”

A Prayer for the Ummah

On this blessed day, we extend our heartfelt doa that:

• Our sacrifices are accepted,

• Our hardships are eased,

• And our efforts in the path of knowledge, justice and community well-being continue to be blessed.

May Aidiladha be a time of reflection, unity and gratitude — and may the spirit of giving continue to flourish in our hearts and institutions.

Salam Aidiladha 1446H from all of us at
