Aqiqah (Indonesia)

Aqiqah – A Blessed Beginning with Gratitude

Welcoming a newborn with faith, love, and compassion.

Aqiqah is a beautiful Sunnah and act of gratitude performed by Muslim families to celebrate the birth of a child. Rooted in the tradition of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Aqiqah involves the sacrifice of livestock — usually a goat or sheep — as a way to thank Allah for the blessing of a newborn.

More than just a ritual, Aqiqah is a moment of spiritual joy, community sharing, and giving back. The meat from the sacrifice is traditionally distributed to the needy, family, and friends, making it an act of both celebration and charity.

Why Aqiqah Matters:

• A Sunnah Mu’akkadah that honors the birth of a child
• A form of sadaqah that brings blessings to the family
• Shares the joy of new life with those in need
• Symbolizes purification and protection for the child

Whether performed locally or in regions where help is most needed, your Aqiqah becomes a source of hope and happiness for many.

Let your child’s first gift to the world be an act of compassion.
Celebrate their arrival with purpose — through Aqiqah.
