Be the Change: Bring Hope to the Ummah through Iftar
The Prophet (saw) said, 'Whoever feeds a person breaking his fast will earn the same reward as him, without anything being lessened from the reward of the fasting person'. [Tirmidhi]
The Prophet (saw) encouraged us to feed fasting Muslims during Ramadan, even telling the Companions (ra) that if they could offer nothing more than a single date or a sip of water, they should still share. Every time you help someone break their fast, Allah (swt) rewards you by multiplying the reward of your own fast, subhanAllah.
This Ramadan, many families around the world will go hungry well beyond iftar—unless we step in to help. Our teams are working across 23 locations, including Mali, Niger, Yemen, and Palestine, to provide food to those in need. With your Zakat and Sadaqah, we aim to feed over 150,000 Muslims by distributing 2.5 million meals, in sha Allah!
Join us in providing iftar to the most vulnerable members of our Ummah, allowing them to break their fast while earning multiplied blessings for your own. This Ramadan, we’re distributing cooked iftars in 23 locations and offering Ramadan Food Parcels starting at just R2,000 - nourishing a fasting family for an entire month and ensuring their children stay healthy. You also have the chance to provide iftar to worshippers at the blessed Masjid al-Aqsa.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Ramadan is the month of my Ummah" [Suyuti]. Share in the rewards of this sacred month by giving iftar to those in greatest need—orphans, widows, and refugees—and be a source of hope for them this Ramadan.

Fidyah
When a person has either become extremely weak due to old age, or they are suffering from an illness which prevents them from fasting, they are not obliged to fast during Ramadan. Instead, if they have the means, they must feed a person in need two meals for every day of Ramadan. This payment is called Fidyah.
You can only give Fidyah if you will miss fasts due to illness and are unable to make them up later. So if you are suffering from a temporary sickness during Ramadan, you need to make these fasts up later.
