"And they give food—despite their desire for it—to the poor, the orphan, and the captive, saying to themselves,˺ “We feed you only for the sake of Allah, seeking neither reward nor thanks from you." –The Glorious Quran, 76:8-9
Ramadan is the month of mercy, sacrifice, and sincere giving. It is the season in which Sadaqah multiplies, intentions are purified, and feeding the fasting becomes a means of attaining the pleasure and forgiveness of Allah SWT.
Across the Ummah, millions of families enter Ramadan unsure of how they will prepare Suhoor or Iftar. Widows, orphans, displaced families, and those living below the poverty line often face the month of fasting without reliable access to basic food essentials. For them, Ramadan is endured, not celebrated.
This Ramadan, Sadaqa Welfare Fund is calling on you to restore dignity and nourishment through the distribution of Ramadan Food Packs, personally delivered to families in need using your Sadaqah and Zakat contributions.
Your donation ensures that vulnerable families are able to observe Ramadan with sustenance for Suhoor and Iftar, rather than fasting with empty hands. These food packs provide essential staples that allow families to prepare meals throughout the blessed month, when they would otherwise go without.
Each Ramadan Food Pack is $70 and is designed to support a fasting family of 4 to 8 members for the duration of Ramadan.
This year, Ramadan Food Packs will be distributed in the following regions, where need is urgent and access to food is limited:
In Gaza, distributions will prioritise families facing severe food insecurity under ongoing blockade and hardship. Across all regions, aid is delivered with care, accountability, and respect for local needs.
Food packs are locally sourced to ensure cultural suitability, nutritional value, and economic support for local suppliers. Contents vary by country based on dietary needs, but typically include staples such as:
Rice, bulgur, pasta, vermeicelli, whole lentils, crushed lentil, tuna, fava beans, hummus, sardines, oil, pasta, sugar, tea, jam, thyme, and mortadella.
Each Iftar Food Pack ranges from 25kg to 60kg, providing sufficient provisions for daily meals throughout Ramadan.
Your Ramadan donation is more than food. It is relief for the hungry, mercy for the vulnerable, and a means of reward that continues long after the fast is broken.
Donate today to the Ramadan Appeal and help provide Iftar and Suhoor food packs to our Muslim brothers and sisters, allowing them to observe Ramadan with nourishment, dignity, and hope.
Ramadan is derived from the Arabic word “Ramadh” which means intense heat. In Arabia, the month of Ramadan usually arrives during the hot summer season where the heat reaches its peak. However, this meaning also has a spiritual significance whereby Muslims burn away their sins through the act of fasting and observing the month out of faith.
The following verses about Ramadan are in Surah Al Baqarah (Chapter 2) of the Holy Qur’an:
“O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous” – (183)
[Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew. (184)
The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you, and perhaps you will be grateful. (185)
- It is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed
- Ramadan is the Month which has a Night of Power “Laylatul Qadr”, the best night of the year!
- It is the month where the gates of heaven are opened, and the gates of hell are closed
- The devils are chained
- Every night and every breaking of the fast Allah choose those saved from the Hellfire
- If one avoids major sins, fasting Ramadan wipes away all the sins of the previous year
- Fasting during Ramadan equates fasting for 10 months straight
- Umrah during the month of Ramadan is equivalent to the act of performing Hajj
- Whoever provides the iftar meal to someone fasting, are guaranteed the same reward.
