Give heart through food for the fasting with your Zakat and Sadaqah
Ramadan 2023 will be particularly challenging in Pakistan. The floods of last year wiped out the homes and livelihoods of millions of people. The battered economy, barely recovered from the pandemic took another beating. And the impact of this is felt most by the poorest.
During Ramadan, the price of food increases. So, many families will struggle to put food on the table for Suhoor and Iftar. People facing starvation cannot work, learn or improve their situations. For £60, your Zakat and Sadaqah can provide a food pack of essentials to sustain a family of five for the month.
Practise Mawakhat in the month of Ramadan
Mawakhat was instituted by our beloved Prophet (PBUH). He declared Muslims brothers to one another, first in Mecca and again in Medina. After the Hijra, he encouraged the people of Medina (the Ansar or helpers) to assist the Meccan migrants (the Muhajir). The Meccans had been forced to flee their homes, leaving everything behind. The help from the Ansar helped them to integrate into society and re-establish themselves with ease.
The Prophet (PBUH) said, ‘None of you are true believers until you love for your fellow human beings what you love for yourselves.’ (Bukhari)
Ramadan is a month of great significance for the Ummah and a special time to increase our brotherhood and compassion for each other. Giving food during these days of mercy, not only attracts great rewards but helps us renew our bonds with the Ummah.
Our teams use local knowledge to identify people most in need. Our teams are on the ground in refugee camps, war zones, impoverished villages and with communities displaced by the floods.
Your Sadaqah and Zakat are used to purchase local food items at competitive, wholesale rates. These are then delivered to food distribution points.
Our projects are constantly monitored and assessed to ensure we reach those most in need to optimise your donations and our relief work.
