In 2020, the gap between the poor and the wealthy widened multitudes beyond what it was in 2019. The impoverished are worse off than they’ve ever been before. We all know the stories of the early generation of Muslims, and how concerned they were with looking after the needy, and the orphan. This Ramadan, we have the opportunity to not be limited to listening to the stories of the Sahabah, we can live them through establishing the institution of Zakat and practicing it.

The orphan is disadvantaged in ways that has no comparison. Without parents in their corner supporting them and encouraging them from a young age, many of them struggle to find footing in life. We are responsible for these children, and ensuring that they’re cared for and looked after as if they are our own. The Prophet, putting his two fingers side by side said that “I will be like this in Jannah with the person who takes care of an orphan.”

This Ramadan, Human Concern International is setting the goal of supporting 300 orphans. We want to see a world where no child goes to bed or school without food in their stomach. Your donation will fuel the fight to support orphans globally, lift them out of poverty, and ensure that they’re giving a chance at a better life. Donate your Zakat today, and uphold the legacy of the first generation of Muslims.
