A man asked the Prophet which aspect of Islam was best. The Prophet replied, “Feeding the hungry and saying salaam to those you know and those you don’t know.” [Bukhari and Muslim]
Donate now and feed the hungry today.
Zakah is one of the Five Pillars of Islam– a compulsory act of worship that must be performed annually by all Muslims worldwide. We give 2.5% of our annual savings to those who are poor and in need.
Your Zakah will be used in 19 poverty-stricken countries facing crises and disasters worldwide to provide emergency relief and save lives. These countries include Burma, Pakistan, Turkey, Lebanon, Kenya, Mauritania, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Uganda.
“Giving Zakat is more beloved to Allah than giving in charity during the entire year.” –[Bukhari]
Ramadan is a month of sharing and caring. Millions within the Ummah are starving because they can’t afford essential nutrition. While we fast to obey Allah (swt) and purify our souls, they fast because they have no choice.
By supporting One Ummah’s Iftar appeal, you can be a lifeline for those who need it most this Ramadan.
The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:““Whoever gives iftar to a fasting person will have a reward like his, without that detracting from the reward of the fasting person in the slightest.” –[al-Tirmidhi]
You can be that hope that the needy and suffering were looking for this Ramadan by supporting our Iftaar Appeal.
One Ummah organise community iftars for hundreds of thousands of people across 19 countries. You can provide iftaar for one person for only £1. Donate today and be rewarded for fasting without even fasting.
Fitrana is a compulsory charity that is binding upon every Muslim, young and old. This ensures that every Muslim has food on the day of Eid. One Ummah will ensure the people who need it the most get it before Eid Insha Allah.
The current Fitrana amount is £5.
Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made Zakat al-Fitr obligatory as a means of purifying the fasting person from idle talk and foul language, and to feed the poor. Whoever pays it before the prayer, it is an accepted zakah, and whoever pays it after the prayer, it is just a kind of charity (sadaqah).” (Reported by Abu Dawood, 1371)
It is strictly prohibited to have intimacy (intercourse) with ones spouse during the day of Ramadan.
If someone falls into this, then are required to pay a kafaarah (expiation).
It is done by freeing a slave; if that is not possible then the person must fast for two consecutive months; whoever is not able to do that must feed sixty poor people.
You will need to pay £5 per person/meal, so if you feed 60 people, that would amount to £300.
Abu Hurayrah (ra) said: Whilst we were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ , a man came to him and said, “O Messenger of Allah, I am doomed!” He said, “What happened?” He said, “I had intercourse with my wife when I was fasting [in Ramadan].” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Are you able to free a slave?” He said, “No.” He said, “Are you able to fast for two consecutive months?” He said, “No.” He said, “Can you feed sixty poor persons?” He said, “No.” Then the Prophet ﷺ remained silent for a while, and whilst we were like that, a large vessel of dates was brought to the Prophet ﷺ , and he said, “Where is the one who was asking?” He said, “Here I am.” He said, “Take these and give them in charity.” The man said, “Is there anyone more poor than me, O Messenger of Allah? For there is no household between the two harrahs (lava fields – i.e., in Madinah) that is poorer than my household.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled until his eye teeth could be seen, then he said, “Feed it to your family.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhari, 1834, 1835; Muslim, 1111)
A Fidya is paid when a person isn’t able to fast due to old age or has a permanent illness.
If the doctors have stated that a sickness means that you cannot fast, and there is no hope of recovery, then you must feed one poor person for each day, giving half a saa’ of the local staple food.
Allah ﷻ says (Meaning) “And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskeen (poor person) (for every day)” [Al-Baqarah 2:184]
The current Fidya amount is £5 to feed one person per day.
Pay your Fidya today and follow the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw).

‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr (RA) narrated that a man asked the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ:
Quran
Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is the most sacred time of year for over two billion Muslims. During the holy month of Ramadan, healthy and able Muslims fast from dawn until dusk, abstaining from food and drink, as well as harmful actions, anger and dishonesty. We are encouraged to deepen our Ibadah through increased prayers, reading the Qur’an, and helping those less fortunate.
More than just abstaining from food, Ramadan is a divine opportunity for spiritual purification, self-reflection, and developing empathy for those in need. We are urged to refrain from sinful behaviour and be more patient. The hunger we feel during our fast is a small glimpse of the daily struggles that millions of our brothers and sisters face year-round.
Ramadan officially begins when the Islamic month of Sha’ban ends, and commences upon sighting the new moon. Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of the moon, and shifts forward approximately 11 days each year due to the lunar cycle.
Ramadan 2026 Probable Dates: Evening of 17–18 February 2026 (first fast likely 18–19 February); Eid al-Fitr likely 19–20 March 2026, depending on local sighting and month length.
Our beloved Prophetﷺ said: “Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like that of the fasting person, without any reduction in his reward.” –[Tirmidhi].
Ramadan is the sacred month that the first verses of the Holy Qur’an were revealed to Prophet Muhammadﷺ, marking a period of profound spiritual significance and guidance. Ramadan is a divine invitation from Allah to renew our Emaan, deepen our spirituality, and strengthen our connection to our Creator.
Sawm, or fasting, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. This Pillar draws us closer to Allah and reminds us of the suffering of those less fortunate. By sacrificing food or drink from sunrise until sunset, we purify our bodies, minds and souls, seeking Allah’s mercy and forgiveness.
However, Ramadan is about more than just abstaining from food and drink: it is a spiritual revolution of our hearts. It is a time when the gates of mercy are wide open, where every act of kindness is magnified, and every deed is multiplied. This month especially, our collective efforts have the power to transform lives.
We should strive to embody the characteristics of Sabr (patience), Shukr (gratitude), and Taqwa (God-consciousness), aligning our actions and intentions with the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah. Every pound donated, every prayer offered, and every hand extended in help is a selfless act of worship, bringing us closer to Allah.
The Prophet Muhammadﷺ said: “The best of people are those that bring most benefit to the rest of mankind.” –[Daraqutni].
Fasting, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is compulsory for every able Muslim during Ramadan. This sacred act provides an opportunity to gain control over our needs, desires and distractions, allowing us to focus on reflection and our ultimate purpose– to worship Allah. Fasting solely for the sake of Allah is a unique act of devotion that carries a special reward.
As narrated by Abu Huraira, the Prophetﷺ said: “(Allah said), ‘Every good deed of Adam’s son is for him except fasting; it is for Me. and I shall reward (the fasting person) for it.’ Verily, the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better to Allah than the smell of musk.” –[Bukhari].
Fasting during Ramadan teaches us discipline, patience, and empathy. It deepens our appreciation for the immense blessings of healthy food and clean water. As we refrain from eating and drinking, we are reminded of our brothers and sisters around the world who face involuntary hunger throughout the year. While we count down the hours until iftar, millions count the days until they might have their next meal.
A Month that Unites the Ummah
Ramadan is a time of introspection, compassion, and action. It is a month that realigns our perspective towards an Akhirah-centric mindset, where seeking the pleasure and mercy of Allaah becomes our ultimate goal. We achieve this through compassion, an open heart, and an outstretched hand, listening to what He has commanded and striving to obey.
Wealth is not the measure of a person’s sincerity or impact. Meaningful change begins with a sincere intention, even if it is with a small amount. It only takes One Heart to reach the hearts of the Ummah.
This Ramadan, it only takes One Heart to strengthen One Ummah.
The reason we fast as Muslims is because Allaah has commanded us to do so. One of the blessings of fasting is that it allows us to appreciate food and develop empathy for those who go without. By experiencing hunger, we share in the reality of those who have less. When we open our fast at Iftar, we thank Allaah for His blessings and remember those less fortunate in our Duʿa.
For many families around the world, hunger is not limited to Ramadan. Long before the month begins, they are already struggling to find their next meal. For them, fasting is not a choice. It is a daily lived reality before, during, and after Ramadan. These are mothers, fathers, grandparents, and children whose lives are shaped by ongoing food insecurity and malnutrition.
This Ramadan, be the One Heart that brings lasting benefit through water. For £250, you can help install a hand pump that provides clean water to families or small communities of neighbouring homes. Through One Ummah, these hand pumps offer a sustainable source of water that supports daily life, improves health, and serves as a continuous charity for those who give.
For years, we have witnessed the devastation faced by the people of Gaza. While we may be separated by distance, our hearts remain deeply connected to our Palestinian brothers and sisters who continue to endure loss, hardship, and uncertainty.
Families in Gaza urgently need food, clean water, medical aid, shelter, winter supplies, and necessities. As conditions worsen, many are left exposed to the elements, with makeshift shelters offering little protection against harsh weather. For countless families, survival depends on immediate humanitarian support.
This Ramadan, be the One Heart that responds in times of crisis. One Ummah has been working in Gaza for many years, delivering lifesaving aid to families affected by ongoing conflict. Through your support, we can provide essential assistance with dignity, offering relief, hope, and solidarity to those who need it most.
For some of us, fasting in Ramadan is not possible due to old age or long-term illness. In His mercy, Allaah has not burdened such individuals beyond their capacity. Instead, He has provided a way to remain connected to the spirit and reward of Ramadan through Fidya.
Fidya allows those unable to fast to feed those in need for each missed day, turning personal hardship into nourishment for others. It is an act of compassion, dignity, and worship that ensures no one is excluded from the blessings of Ramadan.
Through One Ummah, your Fidya is distributed as food to families facing hunger, fulfilling this obligation correctly while supporting the wider Ummah with care and transparency.
Kaffarah is due when a fast in Ramadan is deliberately broken without a valid reason. It is a serious obligation that reflects Islam’s emphasis on accountability, sincerity, and rectification.
By fulfilling Kaffarah, a believer restores what was broken through an act of service to others, feeding those in need as a means of seeking Allaah’s forgiveness and pleasure. It is not about punishment, but about responsibility and returning to Him with humility.
When you give your Kaffarah through One Ummah, it is used to provide food to those who rely on daily aid for survival, transforming a personal obligation into relief for the Ummah.
Ramadan reminds us that we are never alone. Our worship, our charity, and our intentions are all woven into something greater than ourselves. One Ummah, bound by faith and compassion.
Whether you choose to feed a family, quench the thirst of children, respond to crisis, or fulfil an obligation, every act given for the sake of Allaah carries weight. No gesture is too small when it comes from a sincere heart.
This Ramadan, let your heart be among those that give, care, and respond, seeking His pleasure and strengthening the Ummah together.
Together, as One Ummah, we have the power to transform lives and uplift entire communities. Let this Ramadan be when we truly embody the brotherhood our Prophetﷺ envisioned. Make your fast count twice – once for Ibadah, and once for saving a life. Share your blessings with those in need, and show them they are not forgotten
It only takes One Heart to change a life.
Hadith - Musnad Ahmad
This Ramadan 2026, One Heart can help feed one family. By giving just £40, you can help provide food packs that support a family of up to five people with two meals a day for an entire month. Through our Global Food Aid programme, One Ummah distributes food packs and essential nutrition across more than 19 countries, including Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, and Bangladesh, restoring dignity and nourishment where hunger remains a daily reality.
What is Ramadan like for families who have little or no access to clean water? For millions of people around the world, even the most basic daily acts are shaped by scarcity. The absence of safe water affects health, dignity, and the ability to live with ease, especially during a month centred around fasting, worship, and community.
Water is essential to life. It sustains families, protects health, and allows children to grow without the daily burden of preventable illness. When access to clean water is secured, it lays the foundation for stronger households and more resilient communities, protecting the future of the Ummah at its most basic level.
Millions across 20 calamity-stricken countries are hungry worldwide and have no idea where their next meal will come from.
The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, “Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection.
