Perform Aqiqah on behalf of parents with newborn children.


Aqiqah is an act of showing gratitude to the Creator for His blessings of children. Parents may show this gratitude by slaughtering animals (one for a girl, two for a boy), such as sheep, goat, camels, and inviting the community (including the poor) to share in the joyous occasion.

Parents who are unable to perform Aqiqah themselves, can send money to Hidaya Foundation to slaughter an animal on their behalf and distribute the meat to the poor.

Sitara-e-Isaar Awarded to Hidaya Foundation

The sister organization of Hidaya Trust, Hidaya Foundation was awarded Sitara-i-Eisaar (Star of Sacrifice) by the Government of Pakistan, in recognition of the results-oriented relief efforts of both the organizations during the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan. It was awarded during a special ceremony held at the Embassy of Pakistan in Washington, DC.

 

In Keeping with our commitment to the communities in which Hidaya Trust operates, it hires its work force as an equal opportunity employer.  It means that employment decisions are based on merit and business needs and not on race, color, status in the society, ancestry, sex, age, religion, creed and marital status.
