Ramadan

Ramadan with CERF

Ramadan is an opportunity for Muslims to come together as a community, and to support one another in their spiritual journey. It is a time to give back, and to help those who are less fortunate. Whether it is through donating to a charity or volunteering at a local food bank, giving a helping hand, there are many ways to give back and make a difference. Every form of charity is favored upon by Allah SWT.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Ramadan is an honourable and blessed month, and the rewards for generosity are multiplied in it. The best charity is that given in Ramadan.”
Tirmidhi

There is no better time for generosity than in Ramadan. Your acts of kindness not only benefit those in need, but also bring you blessings and rewards from Allah SWT. It is a beautiful way to strengthen one’s faith, and to make a positive impact on the world.

The reality today is that more than 700 million people around the world live within extreme poverty. Millions of families and children across the globe do not have access to food, safe drinking water, or a sustainable income. With the rise of conflict, climate change, inflation and the repercussions of a pandemic, many countries are facing heightened levels of poverty and distress.

In the face of this collective pain, it is our duty to help our brothers and sisters in need.

Zakat

Zakat is an Islamic principle that serves as the welfare contribution for vulnerable people.

Sadaqah

As Muslims, Sadaqah encompasses any act of charitable giving to anyone, with no limitations or guidelines.

Fidya/Kaffara

Fidya and Kaffara are conciliatory forms of charity, in lieu of a person fasting themselves.

Zakat Al-Fitr

Our Zakat-al-Fitr project will provide immediate food relief to vulnerable families.

“The acts most pleasing to God are those which are done most continuously, even if they amount to little.”
Bukhari and Muslim
