Welcome a New Life with an Act of Gratitude
The birth of a child is one of life’s greatest blessings.
Aqiqah is a beautiful Sunnah that gives families a way to thank Allah (SWT), celebrate the arrival of a child and share food with others.
Through Penny Appeal, your Aqiqah is carried out in Myanmar, with the fresh meat distributed to families in the local community.

What Is Aqiqah?
Aqiqah is the sacrifice made following the birth of a child as an act of gratitude to Allah (SWT).
For a baby boy, the Sunnah is to sacrifice two goats. For a baby girl, one goat.
The meat is then shared, allowing the joy of welcoming a new child to reach other families too.
For many parents, Aqiqah is more than a tradition. It is a way to begin their child’s life with gratitude, generosity and remembrance of Allah (SWT).

Share the Joy of Your Child’s Arrival
A new baby brings joy to an entire family.
Through Aqiqah, that joy can reach beyond your own home.
The meat from your sacrifice is shared with families in Myanmar, giving them fresh food while you fulfil this beautiful Sunnah for your child.
It is a simple act with two purposes: thanking Allah (SWT) for what you have been given and sharing that blessing with others.
Why Perform Aqiqah?
Aqiqah is a recommended Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ connected to the birth of a child.
It gives parents an opportunity to mark that blessing through worship and charity, while providing food that can be shared with relatives, neighbours and people experiencing hardship.
Through Penny Appeal, families in Australia can arrange their Aqiqah even when they are unable to organise the sacrifice themselves.
We handle the process on your behalf so the sacrifice can be completed and the meat distributed locally.

A Sunnah Rooted in Gratitude
The arrival of a child changes a family forever.
Aqiqah gives parents a way to stop, recognise that blessing and thank Allah (SWT) for the life entrusted to them.
It also reminds us that celebration in Islam can be shared.
As your family welcomes someone new, another family can receive fresh food from your sacrifice.
