Breaking Fast Together: How Your Charity Helps Provide Iftar for the Needy

Ramadan is the most significant time of the year

It is a month of fasting, blessing, and helping the community. But during this holy month, several less fortunate families struggle to get food for their iftar.

Ramadan is when you get to please Allah (SWT) and attain his blessings. Donating your charity to arrange the iftar meals for our deserving brothers and sisters is the best way to attain divine pleasure during this blessed month.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like that of the fasting person, without any reduction in his reward“. (Tirmidhi, Hadith 807))

This blog will explore how your charity for Iftar for the needy can transform lives and why your support matters so much during this blessed month.

Why Donate to Charity During Ramadan?

Ramadan is a time for everyone to come together, but not everyone has the means to celebrate fully. Here’s why your contribution is so important.

• Basic Necessities Are Out of Reach: Several Muslim families are living hand to mouth. They don’t have access to basic food. While they fast during Ramadan, they often don’t have enough food to break their fast. That’s where your charity plays a vital role, helping them break their fast with a proper, nutritious meal.
• Rising Inflation: With rising inflation, especially in countries like Pakistan, people are facing a hard time providing Iftar meals for their families.
• Intense Circumstances: In conflict-stricken cities like Gaza, our Muslim brothers and sisters are unable to get proper food. Providing them with meals through charity can help them survive in such critical situations.
• The Joy of Sharing: Providing Iftar is not just about food; it’s about spreading joy, ensuring no one feels left out and creating a sense of togetherness. Additionally, providing Iftar to the needy is a highly rewarding virtue.

How Your Charity is Making a Difference

When you donate to our Iftar program, you’re doing much more than providing meals. You’re giving hope, comfort, and dignity. Here’s how your support helps:

• Reaching the Needy: With your charity, we support families, widows, orphans, and laborers who need it most. We even reach remote areas so that your charity can be reached to deserving families.
• Prepared Meals: We provide freshly cooked, nutritious Iftar meals to ensure everyone gets a fulfilling meal to break their fast.
• Ration Packs: In addition to cooked meals for iftar, we distribute ration packs with essentials like rice, flour, lentils, dates, and cooking oil, so families can prepare meals at home.

How Your Charity Helped People in Ramadan 2024

Last year our team reached the different areas of Pakistan and Gaza and helped the people there with your charity.

Here’s what we have provided to the struggling families in Ramadan 2024:

In Gaza:

• 40,000 Litres of Water
• 5,000 Meals
• 1,770 Food Parcels

In Pakistan:

• 75,000 Iftar Meals
• 1,000 Monthly Ration Packs

We are aiming to help more people with more resources this year during Ramadan. This is only possible with your charity and donation. Support the families in need with your charity and Allah سبحانه وتعالى will not only reward you in this world but also hereafter.

“Indeed, those who give charity, men and women, and lend Allah a goodly loan – it will be multiplied for them, and they will have a noble reward”. (Surah Al-Hadid, 57:18))

To which areas do we provide Iftar Boxes?

Our mission spans across Pakistan, focusing on areas where poverty levels are high. Some of the regions we serve include:

• Urban Slums: In cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, many daily-wage workers and their families struggle to make ends meet.
• Rural Villages: In remote areas, access to food and resources is often limited, making our support crucial.
• Disaster-Affected Areas: In regions hit by floods or other natural disasters, your donations help us provide much-needed relief during Ramadan.

The Impact of Your Iftar Donation on the Poor

Every penny you donate to feed the poor and needy truly makes a difference. With your support, many struggling families can finally put food on the table to break their fast after a long day. Imagine the relief of parents who can feed their children a proper meal or the happiness of a family that no longer has to worry about going hungry during Ramadan.

Thanks to your generosity, the Ehsaas Foundation reaches even the hardest-to-access slum areas, where people often live in extreme poverty. Your Iftar donations bring smiles to the faces of families who were struggling to find even the basics. By donating, you’re not just providing food you’re giving hope, joy, and comfort during this blessed month.
