The Muslim Ummah is currently facing an unprecedented number of challenges, from the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria to the 2022 floods in Pakistan and Bangladesh, as well as ongoing crises and conflicts in Yemen, Gaza, and Afghanistan. We must also not forget the struggles of the Rohingya Muslims. A staggering 350 million people are suffering from extreme poverty, conflict, wars, and natural disasters.

“Whoever saves one life it is as though he has saved the whole of mankind.”
[Quran 5:32]

The situation in Gaza has been described as an open-air prison by many commentators. With limited access to resources, over 2 million people are struggling to make ends meet. Poverty rates are high, leaving many without access to clean water, food, or shelter. Moreover, the ongoing blockade has made it difficult for people to access healthcare services, which has resulted in a shortage of medicine and medical supplies.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ
“Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease one in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. People do not gather in the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it together, but that tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will cover them, angels will surround them, and Allah will mention them to those near Him. Whoever is slow to good deeds will not be hastened by his lineage.”
Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim
Unfortunately, recent human history has emphatically confirmed this reality. Since the turn of the century, we have seen disaster after disaster unfold, some natural but predominantly manmade. As a Muslim Humanitarian Charity, it’s crucial for us to have emergency funds readily available to respond swiftly to these disasters.
Whether it’s the Gaza Emergency Appeal, Yemen Emergency Appeal, Syrian Refugee Crisis Appeal, Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal, Afghanistan Emergency Appeal, Pakistan Floods Appeal, Rohingya Refugee Crisis Appeal, or Africa Drought Appeal, our ability to continue helping those affected by these conflicts, wars, and crises relies on your ongoing support. We urge you to donate your Sadaqah and Zakat to these appeals, aiding in the protection of lives throughout the year and in times of crisis.
However, if you are looking to build a Masjid as Sadaqah Jariyah for your loved ones, or if you wish to build a water pump, donate a food pack, sponsor a sewing machine, sponsor an orphan, sponsor a hafiz, or need to give Kaffarah for Breaking an Oath, consider our appeals. Donate to the Ramadan Food Appeal, the Ramadan Zakat Appeal, or simply donate your Zakat to assist the poor and needy around the world. Insha’Allah, donate with confidence for the sake of Allah.
