Help us distribute basic food aid to about 3000 poor families in Jammu-Kashmir especially those we missed out on last Ramadan!

This campaign is ZAKAT ELIGIBLE. By donating to this campaign you will be fulfilling your Zakat obligations, Insha Allah. 

Please don't stop giving hope to those who needs help the most.

We, in the name of humanity, will continue to give back to those deserving, regardless of which month we are in.

Giving is endless!

Because giving is endless until we meet our Lord, Allah Subahana wa Ta'ala. And this is the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad, blessings and peace be upon him.

The Prophet, blessings, and peace be upon him, only doubles up his giving in Ramadan, not that he starts giving in Ramadan. This means he gives all the time.

The poor, single parents and orphans need our constant support to weather the difficulty they are facing. Your little help will mean a lot to them.

Caring for orphans is a significant part of Islam. The orphans are mentioned many times in the Quran; mistreating them is a serious offense and sin while nurturing and sponsoring them is an immensely valuable good deed.

The Messenger of Allah, blessings, and peace be upon him, said, "I and the caretaker of the orphan will enter Paradise together like this, raising (by way of illustration) his forefinger and middle finger jointly, leaving no space in between." [Saheeh al-Bukhari]

Last Ramadan, we did not manage to help all of the poor in Kashmir, despite their requests, due to a lack of funds.

But we don't want them to lose hope and we want them to know that we will not give up in helping them.

The condition of Kashmiris will not improve in one Ramadan. Our continuous support is needed for them the weather the difficulty they faced due to the prolong and endless conflict.

Therefore, we are seeking your support again to help another 300 families, especially poor single parents and orphans, by the end of this month of Shawwal.

Why Kashmir?

Why do Muslims care about Palestine? There is at least one similarity between the struggle in Palestine and Kashmir: both are oppressed Muslims in their own homeland.

Since the independence of India and Pakistan, the position of Kashmir has been at the forefront of disputes between these two countries. In the 1980s, anti-India uprisings begin in the part of Kashmir valley administered by India. Subsequent counter-insurgency action by the Indian military has racked the valley with continued violence ever since. Many children become orphaned and women became widows in this prolonged conflict, with family members either being killed or detained or just disappearing.

Single mothers are struggling!

Single mothers are struggling with poverty to raise their families. Their welfare relies on non-governmental assistance only. Our local partners are doing all they can to help, with our support. Ilizam Relief Society is striving to feed them especially those we missed out on in Ramadan.

The innocent orphan kids need our attention, and we should shower them with compassion and love. They may not understand the struggle of their single mothers, our target is they have enough food on the table and they enjoy their kids lives while they can.

Your support will benefit these poor Kashmiris who are oppressed in their own land, and the poor, the orphaned children, and the widows in this violence-racked Kashmir region.

We are giving you the opportunity to continue the sunnah of the Prophet: never stop giving until you stop breathing!

Let’s do it now!

The Plan 

Distribute basic food aid to about 3000 poor families in Jammu-Kashmir. We will cover 3 districts in Jammu-Kashmir i.e. Poonch, Srinagar, Baramulla, Bandipura and a few other districts in Kashmir region. About 2,000 families will have a repeat distribution of food kits in the winter because these will be families living in far-flung and hilly areas where the snow will be thick and they will not be able to survive without enough food. 

Food pack: Contents for each family cost USD30.

Each pack will consist of Able to last up to 6 weeks for a family of about 5-6 persons: 

• Rice and / or flour 25-30kg
• Pulses (dhal) 5kg
• Turmeric powder
• Chilli powder
• Salt 1kg
• Cooking oil 2kg
• Ghee 1kg
• Sugar 2kg
• Tea 500gm
