Arief Rahman Hakim Mosque, Salemba – Jakarta, 10 Dzulhijjah 1446 H
A sense of solemnity and togetherness filled the atmosphere as the Institute for Technology, Universitas Indonesia (Lemtek UI), once again carried out the qurban ritual in commemoration of Eid al-Adha 1446 H. The event took place at the Arief Rahman Hakim Mosque, located right next to the Lemtek UI building in Salemba.
This year, Lemtek UI sacrificed two goats and one cow as an expression of social care and gratitude for the blessings received. The ritual slaughter of the two goats was conducted directly by Saifullah Fil Ardhi, representing Lemtek UI, in accordance with Islamic law and principles.
The qurban activity was made possible through strong synergy and collaboration with the local community. The distribution of qurban meat to nearby residents was assisted by Mrs. Dian, while coordination with the mosque committee was managed by Mr. Urip. Their contributions ensured that the entire process ran smoothly and in an orderly manner.
Overall coordination of the event was overseen by Mr. Anang, who served as the Head of the Qurban Committee as well as part of the operational team of Arief Rahman Hakim Mosque, UI. Under his leadership, the slaughtering, packaging, and distribution processes were executed with efficiency and a strong sense of communal spirit.
The involvement of local residents in the meat processing and packaging fostered a greater sense of mutual cooperation. The qurban meat was carefully packaged and distributed to eligible community members, embodying the value of sharing which lies at the heart of the qurban ritual.
This annual event serves as a reminder that qurban is not merely about the act of slaughtering livestock, but more profoundly about uniting hearts, sharing sustenance, and strengthening bonds of brotherhood within our social lives.
