With Pakistan facing the brunt of the summer heat, Eid ul Adha is fast approaching, bringing with it concerns regarding how to go about arranging animals for Qurbani. In the past year and a half, many parts of life have seamlessly moved online, from getting groceries to furniture shopping, so it makes sense that the religious festival of Eid also be facilitated by allowing muslims to make arrangements from the comfort of their homes.
Last year it was found that 1 in every 10 people preferred to sacrifice both, a cow and a goat and that about 20% households ordered more than 1 Hissa of Qurbani.
Last year, Metro Cash & Carry’s Qurbani service made celebrating Eid ul Adha hassle-free for thousands of customers in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad with its streamlined experience that ensured safety and security. For those who didn’t wish to visit stores during the Covid-19 pandemic, the experience was completely contact-free and online, with customers booking their Qurbani animals on Metro’s online portal, which also eliminated the inconvenience of arranging for a Qassai. For completely contactless delivery, customer’s had the option of paying through Bank Transfer, Credit Card, Easy Paisa, Jazz Cash and MPOS along with Cash on Delivery. But for those customers who wanted a more hands-on experience, Metro took bookings at all its stores while maintaining strict compliance of Covid-19 SOPs.
Meemona, who used Metro’s Qurbani service last year said, “Excellent Qurbani service! Got fresh and clean meat with timely delivery. Meat was hygienically packed in thermapol boxes.”
With hygiene being a major concern nowadays, Metro emphasised it’s global hygiene standards to ensure Halal, hygienic and high-quality meat at the lowest rates for its customers. The one-stop Qurbani solution is not only efficient but the whole process is also Shariah compliant. Not only is the booking process streamlined, but it reduces the hassle of dividing and packing the meat once the Qurbani is done as the Qurbani arrives pre-packed in thermapole boxes. This year, Metro’s Qurbani service will be available in Multan along with Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad so login to the portal here and enjoy your Eid ul Adha while making sure you and your loved ones stay safe.
