Every significant transformation begins with a fundamental choice: to address a critical need with a purposeful action. For our brothers and sisters stuck in the relentless grip of poverty and displacement, the simple provision of clean water and educational support becomes a lifeline for immediate change and long-term empowerment. Such a simple charity represents a decisive humanitarian intervention that can save countless lives. 

Allahﷻ has entrusted us with the responsibility of caring for one another, creating a bond only the Ummah could have. To watch innocent children drinking contaminated water, or be robbed of any chance of a future, should shake the Muslim community to the core. Yet, within that recognition lies our capacity to restore dignity and transform lives. 

This is more than short-term charity. It is about initiating a self-perpetuating cycle of progress. The act of providing sustainable water sources and educational support serves as an essential catalyst for profound change, elevating individuals, strengthening families, and empowering entire communities to move from a state of need to one of opportunity and self-reliance. 

The First Phase: The Gift of Clean Water 

The path to lasting change begins with the most fundamental need. Without clean water, life is a constant state of crisis. A mother’s daily reality is defined by a dangerous walk for water that she knows will make her children sick. Illness from waterborne diseases prevents parents from working. It drains already-dwindling resources, while children are robbed of the strength and opportunity to simply be children as their future is put on hold, day after day. 

Your support changes everything. Providing a sustainable water source—a bore well, a hand pump—is the critical first step that breaks down the barriers that trap people in poverty. The impact of clean water is immediate and multifaceted: 

A Return to Health: The constant threat of waterborne diseases like cholera and typhoid is dramatically reduced. Children regain their health, their bodies now able to absorb nutrients and grow strong. 

The Gift of Time: The countless hours once spent on back-breaking journeys for water—a task often falling to women and young girls—are suddenly returned. This time can now be used for education, working or taking care of their families. 

Restored Dignity and Iman: Illness from waterborne diseases prevents parents from working and drains already-meager resources, while children are robbed of the strength and opportunity to simply be children. 

Once access to clean water has been restored, the groundwork for transformative change has been laid. A community is less so in survival mode; they are stabilised, healthier and empowered to rebuild their lives. This newfound stability creates the necessary conditions for the next step in empowering our Ummah: the education of its children. 

Providing books, uniforms, equipment, and safe learning environments unlocks potential and sets out a path to a future defined by opportunity, not circumstance.

The stability afforded by clean water means that the true potential of a community can finally be nurtured. A child who is no longer chronically ill can now consistently attend school. Women and children are freed from the daily burden of fetching contaminated water. But presence alone is not enough; potential requires practical support for our brothers and sisters to truly flourish. 

This is where the provision of educational support builds upon the transformative chance of clean water. Providing books, uniforms, equipment, and safe learning environments unlocks potential and sets out a path to a future defined by opportunity, not circumstance. 

The domino effect continues: 

The Empowerment of the Individual: A child learns to read and write. They gain the tools to understand the world, the Qur'an, and their own potential. They dream of becoming teachers, doctors, or engineers. 

The Elevation of the Family: An educated child becomes a beacon for their family. They can help their parents with essential tasks and break the chain of illiteracy and vulnerability that may have plagued their families for generations. 

The Strengthening of the Community: Educated individuals are empowered to uplift their own communities. They become future nurses and doctors, the teachers who educate the next class of children, and the informed community leaders who can manage resources, like the water wells, sustainably. 

The Beautiful Cycle: How Water and Knowledge Fuel Each Other 

In His infinite wisdom, Allahﷻ has designed the world in patterns of interconnected mercy. Nowhere is this divine wisdom more evident than in the beautiful, self-sustaining cycle that is created when the Ummah is granted both clean water and access to knowledge. These two forms of provision do not exist in isolation; they nourish and sustain one another in a manner that reflects the perfect balance of His creation. 

By answering the call of your brothers and sisters, you are not merely offering temporary relief. You are initiating a legacy of ongoing good. You are providing the means for the Ummah to become self-sufficient, benefitting them in this Dunya and in the Akhirah—a true fulfilment of the concept that whatever good you do, you will find it with Allah, far better and greater in reward. 

Be The Catalyst for Change 

The Quran beautifully illustrates the magnitude of a single good deed: “The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] that sprouts seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills...” [Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:261]. 

Your contribution is that single seed. From it grows a harvest of health, knowledge, and empowerment that feeds generations. 

You have the opportunity to be the one who knocks the first domino over. To transform a life of struggle into a journey of hope. To replace the anxiety of a parent with the joyful laughter of a healthy, learning child. 

Answer the call of our Ummah. Provide the catalyst for change. Offer the gift of water and knowledge, and witness how a simple act of compassion can create ripples of transformation that last a lifetime and beyond. 

Stop and ask yourself: when you leave this world, what will remain?  

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: a continuing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), knowledge that is benefited from, or a righteous child who prays for them.” [Muslim] 

It’s not going to be your money or achievements, and this hadith is not just describing a type of charity. It reveals a profound divine principle: that the most meaningful actions are those that create a ripple effect of goodness long after we are gone. It is an invitation from Allahﷻ Himself to invest in our Akhirah. 

Among the greatest Sadaqah Jariyah are two fundamental pillars of life: water and knowledge. 

One sustains the body. The other sustains the mind and soul. Together, they represent the most powerful, transformative, and eternal investments a believer can make for their Ummah in need and their Akhirah. 

Water: The Sadaqah Jariyah That Gives Life 

Allahﷻ says: “And We made from water every living thing.” [Qur’an, 21:30] 

Water is our source of life, the most basic mercy from Allahﷻ, yet for millions in our Ummah, it remains a daily struggle, a source of disease, and a cause of death. 

• 2.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water 

• In Gaza, water systems are no longer functional 

 • In Bangladesh, arsenic poisons the wells 

 • Across Africa, women and children walk miles for contaminated water 

When you give water, you are not just quenching thirst. You are giving life itself. The Prophetﷺ said: “The best charity is giving water to drink.” [Ahmad] 

A single well becomes a stream of mercy. Every sip, every wudhu, every life —every single drop flows as a continuous reward into your account. 

Knowledge: The Sadaqah That Illuminates the Future 

Knowledge is the foundation of our Deen. Yet today, this sacred right is stolen from millions of children by war, poverty, and displacement. 

• More than 250 million children around the world are out of school 

• In Afghanistan, 3.7 million children are denied education, most of them girls 

• In Yemen, 2 million children have their futures erased 

• Countless others are forced to choose between survival and schooling 

Education is more than pencils and paper. It’s power, protection and possibility. When you provide educational support through One Ummah, you’re reviving hope, restoring dignity, empowering generations, and building your Akhirah. Every lesson that child learns, every good deed they perform based on that knowledge, every community they uplift—becomes an unending source of Sadaqah Jariyah for you. 

The Divine Intertwine of Clean Water and Knowledge 

These two forms of Sadaqah Jariyah are not separate. They are deeply connected, each enabling the other.  

• A sick child cannot learn 

• A thirsty community cannot grow 

• An educated generation can lift its families from despair 

This is the divine wisdom behind giving both. You are not just solving a temporary problem; you are breaking the entire cycle of poverty and dependency. You are funding a self-sustaining future of health, knowledge, and dignity. 

Your Everlasting Rewards 

In a world obsessed with chasing quarterly returns and short-term gains, Allahﷻ invites us to invest in something far greater—an eternal reward that multiplies beyond measure. 

The Prophetﷺ said: “Whoever digs a well will have reward for that, and every time a person or animal drinks from it, he will gain reward.” —[Tabarani] 

And: “Whoever teaches some knowledge will have the reward of the one who acts upon it, without that detracting from his reward in the slightest.” [Ibn Majah] 

This is the immeasurable mercy of Allahﷻ. A single act of Sadaqah—a well, a book—becomes a river of rewards flowing into your scale. Every sip of water, every word of knowledge, every life transformed—all of it is added to your book of deeds, even after you’ve returned to Allahﷻ.  

You are not decreasing your wealth, you are entrusting it to the One who returns it multiplied: "Who is it that will lend to Allah a goodly loan, which He will multiply for him many times over?" —[2:245].  

Will Your Legacy Fade or Flourish Beyond You? 

The needs of the Ummah are immense. But so is the opportunity Allahﷻ has placed in your hands. Wealth is not a mark of status—it is a trust, an Amanah. A test. A means to serve. 

Will you spend it chasing the temporary pleasure of the Dunya, or help your brothers and sisters in need whilst building your Akhirah? The choice is yours. Millions are waiting for their thirst to be quenched and their futures to be bright once again. 

The Prophetﷺ said: "When a person dies, all their deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, and a righteous child who prays for them." [Muslim] This is your moment to answer the call of your Lord. Let your legacy be in the hearts of children, in the Du’as of the thirsty, and in the scales of your Hereafter. 

Support One Ummah’s Drops of Mercy and Back to School campaigns and plant your seeds of Sadaqah Jariyah. 

The first word revealed to our beloved Prophet Muhammadﷺ was not a command to fight, pray or worship. It was “Iqra’”. A command to read. To seek knowledge. To learn and understand. 

This single divine command established seeking knowledge as the very foundation of our Deen—an obligation upon every Muslim. It is a means of ‘Ibadah, serving Allah’sﷻ creation compassionately, and a path to restoring the honour and dignity that is the birthright of every member of the Ummah. 

Yet, today, this sacred right is being stolen from millions of innocent children, and the situation demands our immediate attention. 

We are facing a global education crisis of alarming proportions, a silent, relentless emergency that is crippling the future of our Ummah. It is a crisis born from poverty and displacement, ultimately caused by the likes of war, disaster and conflict. While our children debate which backpack to choose, millions of their brothers and sisters are just hoping to survive to the next day. 

The Scale of the Crisis: Unseen Catastrophe 

The numbers are unimaginable; we can’t even begin to fathom what millions of children out of school look like. But these children are not just numbers and statistics. 

• Over 250 million children and youth are out of school globally, a number larger than most countries’ entire population. 
• In the world’s conflict zones, 1 in 3 children are out of school. Their classrooms are bombed, their teachers displaced, their futures erased. 
• In Afghanistan, years of conflict and instability have pushed over 3.7 million children out of school, the majority of them girls. 
• In Yemen, a nation shattered by war, 2 million children have had their education ripped away, with one in four schools destroyed or repurposed as shelters for the displaced. 
• Across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, extreme poverty remains the most brutal barrier, locking generations into an inescapable cycle of illiteracy and deprivation. 

Behind each number or statistic is an innocent life, with a heartbreaking story, and an even crueller reality.  

• A girl in Gaza who dreams of being a doctor but has never seen the inside of a hospital.  

• A boy in Pakistan who aspires to be an engineer but spends his days searching for water instead of solving equations.  

These numbers are a reminder of our collective failure as humans to the children of the Ummah. 

The Reality on the Ground: Education Under Siege 

In the 19 countries where One Ummah operates—from the refugee camps of Syria and Bangladesh to the impoverished villages of Malawi and Pakistan—their harsh reality is a daily challenge to survive. 

• Classrooms of Rubble and Dust: In Palestine, schools lie in ruins. The sound of airstrikes and gunfire has replaced the recitation of lessons. Where buildings still stand, they are often overcrowded, under-resourced, and lacking even basic sanitation. 
• The Impossible Choice: Survival vs. Schooling: In struggling nations like Yemen, Sudan, and Somalia, extreme poverty forces mothers to choose between sending a child to school for an education or working and earning money for their families to survive. More often than not, survival is the choice. 
• The Lost Generation: For Rohingya children in Bangladesh and Syrian children in Jordan and Turkey, years of displacement have created an educational void they may never recover from. Without schooling, they’re exposed to exploitation and despair. 

This is more than a humanitarian issue; it is a deep spiritual wound to the body of the Ummah. The Prophetﷺ said: “The believers, in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy, are just like one body. If one of the organs suffers, the whole body responds with fever and sleeplessness.” [Bukhari].  

If one part of our global body is denied knowledge—the foundation of our faith—then our entire Ummah is weakened. We must feel this fever and be restless in our response. 

Restoring Honour, Dignity and Hope Through Knowledge 

At One Ummah, we don’t see education as a mere service to provide. It is a fundamental means of restoring honour, dignity, and hope to the most vulnerable people in the hardest-to-reach locations. 

Education is what protects a child from exploitation. It is the tool that empowers a community to rebuild itself. It is the pathway out of despair and into a future filled with promise. 

When you provide a child with a textbook, you are not just giving them paper. You are giving them agency. When you help build a classroom, you are not just constructing walls. You are creating a shield against ignorance. When you sponsor a teacher, you are not just paying a salary. You are preserving a lifeline of knowledge for entire Muslim communities. 

Our Collective Duty: Answering the Call of “Iqra’” 

This is our mission: to answer the divine command of “Iqra’” on behalf of those who have been silenced. To ensure that the obligation of seeking knowledge is fulfilled, as the Prophetﷺ instructed. 

The scale of this crisis can feel overwhelming, but Islam teaches us that we are not responsible for the entire outcome, only for our sincere effort. The Prophetﷺ said, “If the Final Hour comes while you have a shoot of a plant in your hands and it is possible to plant it before the Hour comes, you should plant it.” [Al-Adab Al-Mufrad]. 

The message is clear: never underestimate the impact of a single good deed, especially one that keeps on giving. Providing education is the ultimate Sadaqah Jariyah—a continuous charity. Every lesson a child learns, every skill they master, every good deed they perform based on that knowledge, becomes an ongoing source of reward for the one who made it possible. 

The children of our Ummah are waiting. They are not asking for luxuries. They are asking for the chance to read, to write, to calculate, and to reclaim the dignity that has been stolen from them. They are asking us to embody the words of Allahﷻ: “And whoever saves a life – it is as if he had saved all of mankind.” [Qur’an 5:32] 

There is no salvation more profound than saving a child from a future of hardship by giving them the gift of knowledge. Support One Ummah’s Back 2 School Campaign. Donate today, educate a child, and help restore a future. 

Global Water Crisis: A Test of the Ummah's Mercy and Compassion 

Every sip of water is a mercy from Allahﷻ, but for millions in our Ummah, that mercy is out of reach. Right now, our brothers and sisters suffer not from war or famine alone, but something even more basic: dirty, contaminated, brown water. While we drink, bathe and make wudhu without a second thought, they walk for miles in dangerous heat and terrain, drink poisoned water and watch disease claim their children. This crisis is a test of our faith, our mercy, and our unity as an Ummah.  

Allahﷻ tells us in the Qur’an: “And We created from water every living thing.” —[21:30]. Yet today, water—the very source of life—is denied to billions. 2.2 billion people wake up each day not knowing if they’ll find a single clean drop to drink. Almost half of the world lives in severe water scarcity. In some places,  they go the entire year without any safe water, sanitation or hygiene.  

The reality of the ongoing water crisis is alarming; 3.5 million lives are being lost every year to thirst and preventable disease. One in five children are without clean drinking water. It’s these kinds of numbers that we’ll never be able to fathom. They’re too unrelated, but we must do our best.  

But there is another reality that we must face, and that water is not just a resource; it's a right, and a mercy from Allahﷻ. And it’s our duty as an Ummah to help those who are denied it. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The best charity is giving water to drink." [Ahmad]. Not gold, not grand gestures, simple, life-giving water. And today, that simple charity is desperately out of reach for too many people. 

The Face of Crisis Across Muslim Lands 

From the arsenic-poisoned water supply in Bangladesh to the bombed-out water systems of Gaza, our Ummah is fighting a war against thirst. When the Prophetﷺ said: “The believers, in their mutual kindness, compassion, and sympathy, are like one body.” [Bukhari], he reminded us that the suffering of one is the suffering of all. When our brothers and sisters are dying of thirst, we cannot claim to be at ease. Their suffering is our test—and their relief is our reward. 

In Bangladesh, water that should give life instead carries death. Half the nation's drinking water is contaminated with arsenic, seeping through the groundwater and poisoning families with every sip. 

The search for clean water in Uganda is just as deadly. Women and children trek barefoot for miles under the scorching sun. They carry empty containers that will return filled with muddy water—water that might save their families today but could kill them tomorrow. They know that if they don’t do this every day, their families won’t survive.  

In Niger, one of the hottest countries on earth, only 56% of people have access to any clean water source. The situation becomes even more heartbreaking in schools, where 78% lack basic drinking facilities. Even then, the children who are fortunate enough to go to school sit in classrooms trying to learn while their bodies are failing. 

Meanwhile, in Palestine, the crisis has reached catastrophic levels. The people are not just starving—they're critically dehydrated. Almost 100% of Gaza's water and sanitation facilities have been damaged or destroyed, turning what should be a fundamental human right into an impossible luxury. 

When Thirst Becomes a Daily Reality 

For most of us, we know that our thirst will pass—really, it’s just a reminder to reach for a glass of water or turn on a tap. But for 2.2 billion people worldwide, thirst is a constant companion, and it’s also a reminder to them, but theirs is very different. Theirs is a reminder that they don’t have a choice. That water is inaccessible to them, a distant miracle.  

Imagine having to wake up each morning knowing that the water you need to survive is hours away. And that same water might allow you to make it to tomorrow, but eventually, it’s going to kill you. Imagine watching your loved ones fall ill from the very water that was supposed to sustain them, but having no choice but to keep drinking it. 

This is not imagination for our brothers and sisters living in water-scarce regions. This is what they face, day in and day out, and it's happening right now while other parts of the world debate which bottled water brand tastes better.  

The Prophetic Wisdom We Must Remember 

When the Prophetﷺ spoke about water, he wasn't just talking about a practical need—he was revealing a profound truth about mercy, community, and our obligations to one another. Water, in Islamic understanding, is not a commodity to be hoarded but a blessing to be shared. 

Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah reported: “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?’ The Prophetﷺ said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Which charity is best?’ The Prophetﷺ said, ‘A drink of water.’” —[Sunan al-Nasā’ī]. The Messenger of Allahﷺ taught us that the best Sadaqah we can give, the best way we can help out those in need, is by providing water, the very essence of life. He understood that water is the foundation upon which all other forms of help can be built. Without water, there can be no health, no education, no economic development, no sustainable future. 

The Ripple Effect of Water Scarcity 

Water scarcity doesn't just cause thirst—it is the start of what ends up destroying communities. When families have to spend hours each day searching for water, their children aren’t able to go to school. When the only available water is contaminated, healthcare systems become overwhelmed with preventable diseases. When communities fight over scarce water sources, social bonds break down and conflicts arise. 

Women and girls bear the heaviest burden in this crisis. In many water-scarce regions, they are responsible for water collection, which means they walk for hours daily, often missing educational opportunities and risking their lives. Young girls who should be learning to read and write, instead learn to balance heavy water containers on their heads and navigate dangerous terrain in search of life's most basic necessity. 

The economic impact is just as devastating. Communities without reliable water sources cannot develop agriculture, attract businesses, or build the infrastructure they need to grow and thrive. Entire regions remain trapped in cycles of poverty because they lack access to something as fundamental as clean water. 

Small Actions, Transformative Impact 

The overwhelming nature of the water crisis can make us feel helpless, but the reality is quite different. Water projects have some of the most immediate and lasting impacts of any humanitarian intervention. A single well can serve hundreds of families for decades.  

Villages where children once spent their days walking for water now have schools filled with smiling students excited to transform their future, thanks to you. Communities that were once divided by competition for scarce resources begin working together to maintain and protect their new water sources. 

Providing clean water is a perfect example of Sadaqah Jariyah—ongoing charity. Every person who drinks from a well, every child who stays healthy because of clean water, every community that thrives because of reliable water access gives you ongoing Ajr.  

Last year, you helped One Ummah provide clean water to 2,287,420 people in need.  Together, we developed 469 water access points, where hundreds of thousands of people can access clean water every day. Families don’t have to trek barefoot for hours in search of water, because 167 bore wells and 25 deep well tubes now provide clean, reliable access minutes away from their homes.   

We restored dignity to villages by installing 237 hand pumps. To help those facing acute water shortages, we installed 20 large-capacity hand pumps and 20 traditional water wells; lifelines for communities during the harshest of seasons. When emergencies struck, our rapid-response emergency desalination projects ensured that millions had access to safe drinking water. 

We take our mission of transforming lives through clean water and sanitation projects seriously. Everything we do should be for Allah’sﷻ sake, and ultimately, He sees everything we do, and sees into our hearts where our true intention lies. We only want to do what is best for the Ummah in a way that pleases our Creator, and we do that by holding ourselves accountable through Islamic guidance, the Qur’an and Sunnah.  

Our Collective Responsibility 

As Muslims, we shouldn’t just walk through life, only concerned with ourselves—we are members of a global Ummah with obligations that extend far beyond ourselves. The Qur’an reminds us: "Whoever saves a life, it is as if he has saved all of mankind." —[5:32]. 

The water crisis is not just a humanitarian challenge—it's a test of our faith, our compassion, and our understanding of what it means to be part of the Ummah. When we have easy access to clean water while our brothers and sisters die from thirst, we are called to examine not just our Zakat and Sadaqah, but our entire relationship with the blessings Allahﷻ has granted us. 

This is not about guilt or obligation in the sense of it being a burden. This is about recognising the opportunity Allahﷻ has given us to do good, transform lives and build our Akhirah. This is about understanding that our comfort and their suffering are not separate realities, but interconnected parts of a single, united Ummah. 

The Time for Action 

The shocking statistics should frighten each of us: 3.5 million preventable deaths each year, 2.2 billion people without safe drinking water, and countless communities trapped in cycles of poverty and disease. But behind every statistic, behind every number is someone just like us—someone with a wife, a husband, a family hoping for better. 

We live in a time of unprecedented capability. We have the technology, the resources, and the knowledge to solve the global water crisis. What we need is the will to make it a priority and the commitment to see it through. 

Every time we turn on a tap, we should remember that millions of people walk for hours for dirty water. Every time we take a clean, refreshing drink, we can think of those who have never tasted truly clean water. Not to feel guilty, but to feel connected—to understand that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, our Ummah, and that our blessings come with the opportunity to bless others. 

The Prophet ﷺ said: "The best of people are those that bring most benefit to the rest of mankind." —[Daruqtni]. Today, in this moment, we have the chance to be counted among them.

Eid al-Adha is more than joyous celebrations and family gatherings. It is a time for profound reflection, marked by the sacred tradition of Qurbani. This act of worship embodies the core Islamic values of compassion, sharing, and uplifting those facing hardship.

Eid al-Adha is a special time for Muslims worldwide. It’s a joyous celebration where communities come together to commemorate the significance of Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) extraordinary act.

Eid al-Adha, the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is a time of immense significance, joy and spiritual reflection, uniting Muslims around the world. It marks the completion of Hajj and celebrates the inspiring story of Prophet Ibrahim’s (AS) unwavering faith.

As Muslims, we can apply many lessons from the life of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his family to our daily lives. Prophet Ibrahim (AS) wasn’t just devoted; he was the ultimate embodiment of loyalty and servitude to Allahﷻ.

Many may not realise that these first ten days of Dhul Hijjah surpass all others in significance, SubhanAllah! They are the keys that unlock the doors to divine rewards and blessings. Giving charity in Dhul Hijjah is one of the most beloved acts to Allahﷻ.

The remarkable story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is a shining example of unwavering faith, obedience to Allahﷻ, and ultimate sacrifice for the sake of the Almighty. His life serves as a beacon of guidance for the Ummah, reminding us of the importance of complete submission to Allahﷻ.

Can you imagine a gathering where millions of worshippers come together from every corner of the globe, united by a single purpose? This is the sacred pilgrimage of Hajj. Countless Muslims stand shoulder-to-shoulder, submitting themselves in worship to the will of Allahﷻ.

The virtuous month of Dhul Hijjah is a merciful chance to rectify any shortcomings or mistakes, revive our Emaan, and increase our worship to Allahﷻ. Whilst He may have forgiven our previous sins through our sincere observance of Ramadan, we must avoid becoming complacent in our Deen.

THE LAST ASHRA (10 DAYS) OF RAMADAN The blessed month of Ramadan is a marathon of Ibadah. As it nears its end, the most immense opportunities for worship still remain. The importance of these nights must not be underestimated. They are our chance to sprint towards Allah’sﷻ boundless mercy and forgiveness.

Zakat is a religious obligation bestowed upon every Muslim who qualifies; through it, we honour the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammadﷺ who consistently gave generously to benefit the poor and the needy. Give Zakat in Ramadan and multiply your deeds immensely.

Imagine a night worth 83 years of Ibadah. It is a night where the angels descend, blessings pour down, and sincere prayers are answered. A night where all your past sins can be forgiven. This is Laylatul Qadr – the Night of Power and Destiny.

Imagine living where every day is a nightmare. Where constant aerial assaults rain down on your home, your family, and your community. Where there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and nowhere to feel safe. In contrast, for millions of innocent Palestinians, this is real life.

In the blessed month of Ramadan, Muslims worldwide engage in acts of worship and kindness to draw closer to Allahﷻ. One way to attain His blessings is to give Sadaqah in Ramadan, a voluntary charity that embodies Islam’s generous and compassionate foundation. Sadaqah is not only a means of fulfilling our duty to Allahﷻ but also a way of showing gratitude, purifying our hearts, and earning His mercy and blessings. Sadaqah comes from the word ‘Sidq’ (sincerity).

Since the early days of Islam, Masajid have been cherished holy spaces facilitating worship, learning and community building. The Prophet’sﷺ mosque in Madinah– Masjid Quba– was the first built by him when he migrated from Makkah to Yathrib. This was a significant event in Islam, and Muslims consider it the start of the Islamic calendar.

Many situations require our immediate attention. The ongoing devastation in Palestine. The orphan crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa. The war in Syria. Only Allahﷻ knows if we will get another chance to make a difference. This Ramadan might be our last—engage in Taraweeh, cut out bad habits, and increase your charity this month.

Millions around the world worldwide are deprived of life’s most basic necessities. 2 billion people have no access to safely managed water, resulting in over 3.5 million deaths every year. They suffer from water scarcity, drought, pollution and disease. They trek for miles, risking their lives and compromising their dignity to obtain some of the dirtiest water on Earth.

The global orphan crisis is growing at an alarming rate. For instance, 150-200 MILLION orphans worldwide are rapidly increasing by almost 10,000 daily. Millions of helpless orphans live in poverty and conflict, deprived of life’s necessities. Moreover, they live in developing lands and disaster zones, where they’re at risk of exploitation, abuse and forced labour.

We are told that there is a cost-of-living crisis that we are living through and many of us will indeed be feeling the pinch. In reality, for most of us, it is the absolute luxuries that we will probably cut down on and for many others, there really will be no real suffering involved at all.

Qurbani, also known as Udhiyah, is a significant act of worship in Islam that is performed annually during the Islamic month of Dhul Hijjah.

However, this is not the case for millions of children worldwide. This simple joy afforded to most remains a dream for those less fortunate. Without access to education and schooling equipment, the harsh realities of their circumstances stand in the way of their hopes of a brighter future.
