Company staff gathering for celebrating Qurban, gotong-royong and meal preparations
A company Qurban celebration is a corporate event held in conjunction with the Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha. It’s a platform for employees to come together, share in the spirit of giving, and strengthen company culture.
The Qurban Ritual
Central to the celebration is the Qurban ritual, where the company sponsors the sacrifice of an animal, typically a cow, sheep, or goat. This act symbolizes obedience to God and sharing blessings with the community. The meat from the sacrificed animal is then distributed to those in need, reflecting the Islamic principle of charity and compassion.
Gotong-Royong: A Communal Effort
Gotong-royong, a Malay term closest to meaning “communal gathering” is a key element of the celebration. Employees actively participate in various tasks, such as cleaning the company premises, preparing the Qurban meat, and organizing the distribution of the meat to beneficiaries. This collaborative effort fosters teamwork, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging among employees.
Meal Preparation and Sharing
A communal meal is often prepared using the Qurban meat. Employees contribute to the cooking process, sharing recipes and culinary skills. This shared experience promotes cultural exchange and strengthens interpersonal relationships. The meal is typically enjoyed together, creating a festive atmosphere and allowing employees to socialize and relax.
Beyond the Celebration
The company Qurban celebration extends beyond the immediate event. It serves as a platform for the company to demonstrate its commitment to corporate social responsibility and its connection to the local community. By participating in the Qurban ritual and supporting those in need, the company reinforces its positive image and strengthens its bond with the community.
Overall, a company Qurban celebration is a meaningful event that promotes unity, compassion, and shared values among employees while also contributing to the well-being of the community.
