Your Zakat is in safe hands.
At Islamic Relief, we take full responsibility for distributing your Zakat. We work closely with a team of qualified scholars to ensure that our Zakat policy follows the guidelines set by Allah (SWT). Your Zakat is an Amanah (trust), and when entrusted to us, we distribute it with the utmost care and precision. Our rigorous governance ensures that from the moment you donate to the moment it is distributed to those who have a right to receive it – your Zakat remains in safe hands. We ensure that your Zakat reaches only those who qualify for it, guided by the eight categories outlined in the Qur’an.
Donate your Zakat to Islamic Relief and create opportunities that make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the ninth and holiest month of the Islamic lunar calendar, recognized globally as a period of profound spiritual devotion, introspection, and increased almsgiving.
The objective of fasting is to abstain from eating, drinking, engaging in intimate relations between sunrise and sunset and all other immoral behaviour, including impure and unkind thoughts. Ramadan is a time for spiritual reflection, growth, and increased devotion to Allah (SWT) by fasting, praying, supplicating, and almsgiving. The blessed month also emphasizes the empathy we should show to those less fortunate.
When is Eid ul-Fitr 2026?
Eid ul-Fitr 2026 is provisionally expected to occur from the evening of Thursday, March 19th, and continue through Friday, March 20th.
The exact dates for Eid ul-Fitr, which follows the end of Ramadan, depend entirely on the sighting of the new crescent moon. We await the official announcement by the religious authorities (Insha’Allah)
