Ramadan is a month of fasting and abstaining from things considered to be impure for the mind and body. Those partaking in Ramadan abstain from food, drink and impure thoughts between the hours of sunrise (Fajr) and sunset, allowing them instead to focus on prayer and connecting with Allah (SWT).

The act of fasting allows the individual to understand the pain and suffering of millions around the world who live their lives in poverty and famine, leaving the participant feeling more grounded and grateful for all that Allah (SWT) has given them. At the close of the month, Zakat donations during Ramadan are made and then Eid al-Fitr is celebrated with loved ones. Eid is a great time of feasting and celebration for Muslims, with gifts exchanged between loved ones.

Muslims begin their fast at sunrise after eating a pre-dawn meal (referred to as suhoor) before the morning prayers (Fajr). The fast is broken at sundown with a meal (referred to as iftar), which is eaten after the evening prayer (Maghrib). 

This Ramadan, thousands of Muslim families around the world struggle with food insecurity and lack the resources to prepare meals for suhoor and iftar. 

Muslim Hands  has teams on the gorund which work closely with needy communities to deliver hot and nutritious meals, along with food packs that contain essential staple foods for suhoor and iftar.  

During the month of Ramadan, Muslims are required to pay Zakat al-Fitr, which is a form of Zakat that serves to self-purify and give back to the poor.

Zakat al-Fitr is paid before Eid al-Fitr, to ensure that the needy have the means to partake in Eid al-Fitr celebrations.

Zakat al-Fitr can be paid to Muslim Hands Canada at $10 per household member.

Our global community of donors have trusted Muslim Hands with their Sadaqah Jariyah donations for over 30 years.

Sadaqah Jariyah is a continuous charity that brings ongoing rewards, even after one’s passing.

Examples of Sadaqah Jariyah include planting fruit trees, constructing water wells, vocational training and assisting livelihood projects. 

Our expert teams worldwide conduct needs assessments to ensure your Sadaqah Jariyah reached those most in need.

Long term projects like Water Filtration plants, hope shops, and medical clinics have impacted thousands globally.

This Ramadan, give Sadaqah Jariyah and benefit the Ummah while securing eternal rewards.

Over 2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water, making the water crisis one of the most pressing global challenges, particularly in remote and impoverished communities.
In Islam, providing water is considered one of the most virtuous acts of charity.

Muslim Hands Canada addresses this urgent need through a variety of water projects, including Tube Wells, Dig-a-Wells, Community Wells, Boreholes, Water Filtration Plants and many more.
Every time a well is built, donors receive a personalized feedback report with photos, details about the community served, and the impact of their contribution, ensuring their act of charity leaves a meaningful and lasting legacy.

Every child deserves a safe and loving home, but millions of children around the world are orphaned due to war, poverty, and hardship, leaving them without necessities like food, water, and shelter.

Your donations have allowed us to support hundreds of orphans through the years, providing them with education, nutrition, transportation, and welfare.

Muslim Hands’ one-to-one orphan sponsorship program allows you to provide a needy child with access to education, vital health services, nutritious meals, and ongoing security and support. 

This Ramadan, follow the example of the Prophet (saw) and begin your sponsorship journey.

Ensure orphans have the stability, protection, and care they need to build a brighter, more secure future.
