Give To Where Most Needed: A Perfect Choice for Your Zakat and Sadaqah this Ramadan

Muslim Hands

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “The best of people are those who are most beneficial to others” (Daraqutni).

As Ramadan approaches in a few weeks, many of you may be thinking about where to direct your Zakat and Sadaqah so it provides immediate assistance to underprivileged communities worldwide. At Muslim Hands, we understand the importance of making your donation count. In this blog, we’ll share more about our Where Most Needed Fund and explain why this fund could be an ideal choice for your Ramadan giving.

All About the Where Most Needed Fund

The Where Most Needed Fund offers the flexibility to direct your charity to the areas that need it most. It’s a responsive fund that allows us to act quickly in times of a humanitarian crisis, whether it’s responding to an emergency or supporting long-term sustainable solutions.

Make a Difference Where It’s Needed Most

By giving to this fund, you enable Muslim Hands to direct your donations where they’re most urgently required—whether that's providing clean water to a community in need, delivering medical assistance, helping local communities, offering emergency relief after a natural disaster, or tackling food security initiatives that fight hunger.

What Makes the Where Most Needed Fund Unique

This fund is different from others because it isn’t tied to a specific project. While we have other funds focused on Education, Emergencies, Orphan Care, and Maternal Support, the Where Most Needed Fund steps in when these funds are stretched thin or when a new crisis arises unexpectedly and we require immediate assistance to carry out our operations.

This Ramadan, be part of the solution and address the most pressing challenges faced by the world’s most vulnerable communities.

Over Thirty Years of Transparency and Expertise

Muslim Hands has provided humanitarian aid for over 30 years, bringing food, water, shelter, and medical relief to those in need. We are efficient, transparent, and committed to addressing the root causes of poverty while offering long-term solutions.

Where Most Needed Fund: Proactive in Our Response

The Where Most Needed Fund allows us to remain proactive when responding to crises. Your timely donations can be the difference between life and death for people living in poverty or those facing displacement. Most of all, the Where Most Needed Fund is Zakat Eligible. Just select the Zakat option from the drop-down menu.

Calculate Your Zakat with Ease

To calculate your Zakat and ensure that your giving is in line with your obligations, we encourage you to use our Zakat calculator. It’s an easy tool to guide you in determining how much you need to give and ensure that your charity is distributed correctly.
