Ashrafulaid will continue its life-saving work during Ramadan 2024, ensuring your donations reach those who need them most. We have a long history of being on the front lines in over 17 countries, just as we have been with every major disaster since 2000, delivering food, water, and emergency relief to those in desperate need. Alhamdulillah, by the grace and mercy of Allah, Ashraful Aid had a successful Ramadan 2022, which was the most meaningful Ramadan distribution program by far. Your support enabled us to distribute over 100,000 Ramadan food packs, benefiting over 1.5 million people in 10 countries, alhamdulillah.
This year, we aim to support and provide for even more vulnerable and underprivileged people and communities. We can achieve this with your assistance. As we approach Ramadan 2024, we must emphasize the importance of Zakat and the benefits of this religious obligation for all able Muslims, male and female. Zakat has the potential to ease suffering and positively affect the lives of millions in need worldwide. It contributes to the hope, joy, and happiness of the world’s most impoverished families and communities. Harness the power of Zakat and Sadaqah and donate generously in the blessed month of Ramadan.
Giving Zakat during Ramadan is a gratifying act of worship, as the rewards for good deeds during this month are multiplied. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever gives iftar (the meal to break the fast) to one who is fasting will have a reward like his, without that detracting from the reward of the fasting person in the slightest.” [Tirmidhi]
Zakat is distributed to various causes, including supporting the poor and needy, providing education and healthcare, eradicate poverty, and promoting social welfare. By giving Zakat during Ramadan, Muslims can purify their wealth and souls and earn abundant rewards from Allah (SWT).
Ensuring that Zakat is given to legitimate and trustworthy organisations and individuals qualified to receive it is essential to gain the full reward and acceptance of this act of worship.
Zakat donations help support a variety of humanitarian initiatives through Ashrafulaid. Water and sanitation, education and training, health and medical care, emergency relief, orphan care, microfinance, and livelihoods are all areas in which Zakat can make a difference. These initiatives help address the needs of vulnerable individuals and communities worldwide, with the goal of sustainable development and self-reliance.
As an essential pillar of Islam, zakat ensures that wealth is distributed fairly and justly. Donating to Zakat is one way to ensure the less fortunate have the resources they need to improve their lives.
At Ashrafulaid, we are responsible for distributing your Zakat. We work closely with a team of qualified scholars to ensure that our Zakat policy meets the guidelines set by Allah (SWT). Your Zakat is an Amanah (trust), and when you entrust it to us, we distribute it with great care and precision. Our rigorous governance ensures that from the moment you donate to the moment it is distributed to those who have a right to receive it, your Zakat remains in safe hands. We make sure that your Zakat reaches only those who qualify for it, guided by the eight categories outlined in the Qur’an.
