‘And We have not sent you, O Muhammad, except as a mercy to the worlds.’ (Source - Quran 21:107)
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the epitome of mercy, instructing us to show compassion to one another: ‘He who does not show mercy to others, will not be shown mercy.’
Since last Ramadan, the ummah has been suffering on an unprecedented scale; from Gaza to Lebanon, Sudan to Syria, your help is needed now more than ever. Help us to support as many people as possible this Ramadan.
Now, more than ever, the world needs us to follow his sunnah of mercy. As we enter the blessed month of Ramadan, around the world, the ummah faces intensifying conflicts, urgent climate crises, devastating disasters, disease outbreaks and soaring inflation.
Communities around the world need our mercy now. We must not delay in helping those who are being plunged deeper into poverty and oppression. Nobody should feel abandoned and alone in the most blessed month.
As Muslims, we know that tomorrow, next month, next Ramadan is never promised, and so we must leave an impact on this world today. We must seek Allah’s mercy today.
Every second is precious. Every prayer, every aya uttered, and every good deed carries incredible value.
Make this Ramadan a time of mercy to those in the ummah facing conflict, hunger, and displacement.
Support the Ummah
This Ramadan, nearly 700 million people live in extreme poverty. All over the globe, families are being forced to abandon their homes just to survive amid violence and climate disasters. Those who return home find rubble, destruction, and devastated livelihoods. The ummah needs safe shelter. They need healthcare and food. Our children need school. They need your support to survive.
This Ramadan, be the mercy they need. Help those in the ummah who are abandoned and forgotten, trying to survive, and reap the multiplied blessings of giving in Ramadan.
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “Whoever draws nearer (to Allah) by performing any of the (optional) good deeds in (this month) shall receive the same reward as performing an obligatory deed at any other time,” (Ibn Khyzaymah)
Ramadan is a chance to reconnect with the ummah, to build the bonds of community for the sake of Allah, and to submit in devotion to pleasing the Most Merciful.
We give with compassion because it is the heart of our religion, but those who show mercy are also promised Allah’s mercy.
Be a mercy to the most vulnerable people, and reap the multiplied blessings of the month of mercy.
