Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (YADIM) organized a korban meat distribution event, reaching approximately 600 underprivileged individuals and the local community in Hulu Langat. The program, part of the YADIM Korban Meat Donation Ceremony 2026, focused on sharing the blessings of the korban ritual.
Dr. Zulkifli Hasan, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), stated that the program is more than just fulfilling a religious obligation; it serves as a platform to reinforce community spirit and solidarity. He noted that local residents and volunteers worked together to prepare a feast for the community, demonstrating the spirit of brotherhood and mutual assistance.
"This shows the spirit of ukhuwah, unity, and mutual help among each other that needs to be continuously strengthened in society," Dr. Zulkifli said during a press conference. He added that such programs will continue nationwide, embodying the "Malaysia MADANI" concept, which promotes togetherness, care, and close relationships among citizens.

This year, YADIM's korban and akikah program saw an increase in participation, with 19 animals sacrificed compared to 13 last year. The event involved six cows and nine goats for korban, and three goats for akikah at YADIM headquarters, along with one cow korban in Kelantan. The animals were sacrificed on May 30, corresponding to 13 Zulhijjah 1447H, at Colla Cattle Farm in Kuala Selangor and Lubok Jong Farm in Pasir Mas, Kelantan.
YADIM highlighted that the program's success reflects the collaboration between the organization, donors, volunteers, the local community, and strategic partners in extending welfare benefits to those in need. The initiative is part of YADIM's efforts to strengthen its da'wah (preaching) and welfare agenda based on compassion, ensuring its benefits are closely felt by the community.
This program is not just about donating korban meat, but more importantly, it carries the MADANI spirit to strengthen relationships with one another.
