Ramadan

Donating during Ramadan holds exceptional spiritual value. Ramadan is a time of compassion and generosity, when good deeds are multiplied. Your Ramadan donation helps families facing hunger, poverty, and crisis.

Your Ramadan donation directly supports the distribution of Ramadan food parcels and Iftar meals, and the construction of water wells that provide clean water to communities in Africa and Asia. Through Barakah Charity, your contribution becomes immediate support for vulnerable families.

Your Ramadan donations fund projects in 60+ countries in Africa, Asia and around the world.

Yes. Your Ramadan donation reaches families directly. Barakah Charity works with trusted local partners and on-the-ground teams to ensure your support is delivered quickly, efficiently, and transparently.

Yes. You can donate Iftar during Ramadan and support families who cannot afford a meal to break their fast. Your Iftar donation provides warm, nutritious meals every evening throughout Ramadan. In Islam, feeding a fasting person carries the same reward as fasting.

With just 5£, you provide a full meal for someone in need to break their fast.

You can also support families with a Ramadan food parcel for 45£, which contains essential items such as rice, oil, flour, and other basic necessities. In some cases, a single parcel is enough for an entire family throughout the month of Ramadan.

Barakah Charity offers the following ways to donate during Ramadan and share joy:

• Donate Iftar meals – Every evening, our team of volunteers distribute full meals to people who can’t afford a meal to break their fast.
• Donate Ramadan food parcels – These food packages contain rice, oil, flour, and other basic necessities.
• Donate Zakat al-Maal – Ramadan is the ideal opportunity to purify body, soul, and money through Zakat. You can use the tool on this page to calculate your Zakat.
• Donate Zakat al-Fitr – On the day of Bayram, we distribute your Zakat al-Fitr to the poorest in accordance with the Sunnah, so that everyone can look forward to the celebrations.
  Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) is set at 15£ per person by the local Ulama Council.
• Build a well during Ramadan – Many villages lack clean water, forcing families to walk long distances. Building a well is a Sadaqah Jariyah that provides safe water for years, creating lasting benefits for communities and ongoing rewards beyond your lifetime.
• Eid gift / Bayram – A donation of 30£ provides children with a bag of gifts and surprises for Eid / Bayram. Your donation brings them joy and dignity.

Zakat al-Maal is a mandatory form of charity in Islam, calculated at 2.5% of your eligible wealth above the Nisab threshold for a full lunar year. It serves to purify wealth, foster social justice, and provide for the less fortunate.
