Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Eid al-Adha is just around the corner, and we have less than 4 days left! Let’s come together to perform Qurban in Sri Lanka and share the blessings with those in need.

Join us in this noble act. Your participation will make a significant difference in many lives.

Act now and let’s do Qurban together!

Emergency Appeal – let's support the most vulnerable in Palestine.

Palestine is experiencing intense suffering due to violence and conflicts. Thousands of lives are lost, and there is an urgent need for humanitarian support. Stand with them by making a donation today! While your donation won’t erase their sorrow, it will facilitate crisis management for the relief efforts.

During this Ramadan, numerous individuals are facing the harsh reality of hunger, lacking proper meals for their suhoor and iftar. The magnitude of this trial is palpable, but it also presents an opportunity to increase one’s spiritual rewards.
We are making a heartfelt appeal to all kind souls to support our initiative aimed at improving the living conditions of those in need. Your contribution will help us:

Here’s how you can participate:

•⁠  ⁠55 € can support a family for a month.
•⁠  ⁠110 € can feed two families for a month.
•⁠  ⁠275 € can feed five families for a month.
•⁠  ⁠499 € to purchase essential medical supplies.
•⁠  ⁠1,100 € fund a hot meal for 1,000 people.

Your support is more crucial than ever for hundreds of families in these regions.

Alhamdulillah, another 150 poor families in Kashmir have received Ramadan Sadaqah food packs.

For your information, part of the distribution had to be carried out behind closed doors for two reasons: Firstly, there was no permission from the Indian police/army, and secondly, due to security concerns at the distribution site.

Therefore, sometimes distribution is done openly in the involved village, while at other times, the beneficiaries are brought to a closed location for distribution.

Thank you for your contribution.

Salam dearest brothers and sisters,



Last year, we endeavored to reach the impoverished families across Kashmir but fell short, leaving many in need. This year, we are committed to not only continuing our support but expanding it. Our goal is ambitious: to distribute essential food aid to approximately 3,000 families, focusing especially on those we couldn't assist last Ramadan. Each donation you make contributes towards fulfilling your Zakat and perpetuates the tradition of giving, as encouraged by the Prophet Muhammad. In doing so, you're not merely donating but providing a beacon of hope to those facing the harshest of realities.

In response to the ongoing crisis, we are urgently appealing for your support to help an additional 300 families by the end of Shawwal. These families, particularly those headed by single parents and those caring for orphans, face unimaginable hardships every day. The prolonged conflict in Kashmir has orphaned countless children and left many women widowed, all of whom rely on the compassion and generosity of people like you. With each food pack costing just USD 30, your contribution can sustain a family of five to six members for up to six weeks, offering them not just sustenance but a lifeline. Let's rally together to make an impactful difference in their lives, continuing the noble practice of giving that defines our humanity.

Iltizam Relief's ongoing Sadaqah Ramadan distribution of food kits for the extreme poor is a beacon of hope.

Amidst the unforgiving cold of Kashmir, fasting during Ramadan becomes even more challenging. 

However, this aid ensures that those in need can observe Ramadan without the added worry of food scarcity. 

Thank you again for your support, and please consider supporting us once more.

On the auspicious first day of the holy month of Ramadan, we spread joy by distributing food kits to 50 underprivileged families in Kashmir.

Today, we provided essential sustenance to these 50 families, made possible solely with your support. 

Together, let's continue our efforts to reach even more families in need. Your contribution is instrumental in making a difference. Thank you for being part of this meaningful journey.

Your support transforms lives – please watch, reflect, and take action today!

Dear Friends and Supporters,

As we approach the sacred month of Ramadan in the enchanting valley of Kashmir, the need for your continued support becomes more crucial than ever. Many in our community face the harsh reality of hunger, especially during these challenging times.

In March 2024, the captivating valley of Kashmir welcomed the mild embrace of a 14-degree Celsius temperature, marking the onset of spring. However, for the impoverished residents, this climate poses additional challenges as they struggle to endure without sufficient access to food.

Daytime fasting won't pose a challenge with ample food for iftar. Numerous families, often comprising up to 10 members, including children, rely on these provisions during Ramadan.

In the heart of this breathtaking landscape, Iltizam Relief Society worked tirelessly with local partners to address hunger among the destitute, single mothers, orphans, and the poor.

Amidst the challenges of Ramadan, Iltizam Relief Society collaborates with local organizations, providing essential food packs for both iftar and suhoor, ensuring families have enough on their tables during this sacred month.

​Let's come together to nurture hope and unity in Kashmir. Your support ensures that no one in our community goes to bed hungry during this sacred month. Every contribution matters, and together, we can make a difference.
Join us in our mission to create a Ramadan filled with compassion, generosity, and abundance for all.
Thank you for your continued support.

With gratitude,

Iltizam Relief Society

​Homes of single mothers in Kashmir were razed by a pre-dawn fire, destroying everything. 

With the temperature falling below zero degrees Celsius, the survivors, especially their children, need temporary shelter and food to endure the harsh winter cold. Please help!

​Rigid Grip: Before the bone-chilling temperatures dropped to -3.3°C, Iltizam Relief Society distributed food packs and blankets to urban hardcore poor living hand-to-mouth.

The distribution is conducted indoors because the weather is too harsh.
Thanks to Allah, we managed to assist 400 families in remote areas, mountains, and hills. Otherwise, reaching them in this bone-chilling cold would be tough for our volunteers.
Thank you for your continued support. Now, we're extending aid to urban areas (towns). Please support again.

Praise Allah alone for everything. Another 400 people now have food and warm blankets to survive this harsh winter.

We persist in implementing the Zero Hunger program, particularly during this winter in Kashmir.

We are on target to achieve our goal of providing food and blankets to more than 4,000 individuals in impoverished and remote areas of Kashmir, especially during this harsh winter.

Thank you to everyone for their kind support.
 
Together, we relieved the hardship of our brothers and sisters in Kashmir with this little help.

With your continued support, we are confident that we can achieve this target and bring warmth and sustenance to those in need during this challenging winter in Kashmir.

Praise Allah for everything.

Grateful for the opportunity to bring comfort to another 100 families, equivalent to 1,000 people, with thermal blankets and food kits, especially crucial for their large families and many children, protecting them from the harsh Kashmiri winter.

The distributed food rations are substantial, sustaining a family throughout the winter, ensuring provisions for two months.

In the morning, Kashmir experiences sub-zero temperatures, making survival difficult for the poor. 

With sufficient food, the impoverished in Kashmir can endure the harsh winter.

Thank you for your support.

We are glad to inform you that we have distributed food aid to more than 200 people in Sheikhpora, Kashmir, in the presence of the Principal District and Sessions Judge of the District Court Baramulla.

Additionally, Iltizam Relief Society also distributed warm blankets to them. 

Thank you for your kind support, which made this aid possible for the poor in Kashmir, especially during this winter.

One of the houses we visited to distribute winter aid (food and blankets) belongs to this grandmother. 

She is an elderly lady, almost 85 years old, living alone in a wooden hut with no children. Her only sibling is an elder sister who is very sick in the hospital. 

The house she lives in is in a dire state; when snow falls, the roof may collapse. 

She repeatedly pointed towards the roof and expressed her fear that it might collapse soon. Upon inspection, we found that it is no longer safe.

Alongside our local partner, we collected money from well-wishers and volunteers, and used it to replace the roof and repair her house.

We also tidied up the interior of the house to make it more comfortable for her.

She is also sick, old, and helpless; she may not live much longer. Let us help her live a decent life before she goes.

There are many similar single individuals, including single mothers with orphaned children, in Kashmir. 

Without the support of our generous donors for this noble cause, people like this elderly grandmother would live in conditions unknown to fellow Muslims.

Sincere thanks from Iltizam Relief Society for supporting Kashmir (the region under India's control). Please continue your support.

Urgent: Help Provide Shelter to Families in Crisis

Assalamualaikum w.r.b,

After devastating floods in Pakistan last year, families are still without proper shelter. Our plan is to replace makeshift tents with proper mud houses for 200 families at USD 1200 each. We urgently seek your support for our Community Shelter Project in Nawabshah, Pakistan. 

The background of the crisis is severe, with 33 million Pakistanis affected, and winter is approaching. We face a funding gap, but construction is set to begin in July. Your support can make a significant difference. A donation of USD 1200 can provide one family with a secure shelter.

Iltizam Relief Society, active since 2013, has been impacting lives across 12 countries. By the end of 2023, we aim to establish a disabled rehabilitation center in Pakistan, inshaAllah.

Your support matters. Please consider contributing to our vital Community Shelter Project. To donate or learn more, visit this campaign here.

Thank you for making a difference.

Praise Allah for everything.

Iltizam Relief Society in Kashmir provided food assistance to an additional 100 families, comprising a total of 800 individuals.
During this distribution, we also provided thermal blankets to these 100 families.

Our distribution also received the support from the Indian military.
The food rations we distributed are sufficient to sustain a family throughout the winter, ensuring they have enough provisions for a period of two months.
Thank you for your support. 

This distribution took place in a village known as Machil Valley in the Kupwara District.

We shall update you on our winter aid distribution in other areas.

The Head of Projects at Iltizam Relief Society personally visited Kashmir to oversee the distribution of winter aid. 

The first distribution took place in the Rafiabad area of the Baramulla district.
Notably, the local Station House Officer from the Jammu and Kashmir Police Department also attended the event, extending their support to ensure the smooth distribution process and offering additional security measures.
During this distribution, we provided thermal blankets and food kits to 28 families, benefiting over 200 individuals in need.

Our distribution of winter aid in Kashmir is carried out with special permits from the authorities, which are necessary due to the heavy military presence in most of these areas.

For security reasons, the distribution process took place in secure locations, such as a volunteer's house compound or schools

We have provided food packages to 100 families, sufficient for a 2-month period, especially important as the winter season has set in with temperatures ranging between 4 to 12 degrees Celsius.
The food distribution took place in the Kupwara district, where obtaining special permits is necessary due to the heavy military presence in the area.
Additionally, we have also furnished these 100 families with thermal blankets.
In the upcoming week, we are planning to extend our support to 200 more families across two different districts.

Two officers from Iltizam Relief Society from Malaysia visited Kashmir (the Indian-administered region of Kashmir) from 18 August  2023 to 22 August 2023.

The purpose of the visit is to meet our local volunteers and local partners and to have firsthand experience distributing food kits to the poor in their most dire state.

The visit was also to meet our local partner and discuss projects and to ensure also they are running according to our instructions and records are maintained accordingly.

This is an eye-opening visit; it is difficult to describe here the plight of the poor in Kashmir, as well as the orphans and quite a number of single mothers.

On 19 August 2023, Iltizam Relief Society, our local team, and our partner in Kashmir joined hands to distribute food kits to another 50 families. This time, we distributed in the far-flung area of Bandipora, Kashmir.

Masha Allah, we are very saddened to learn that these people have to endure a 4km walk downhill, which takes about 2 hours for them to reach the distribution centre on the foothill.

Their village has no electricity and no roads; hence, it is only reachable by foot or horseback.

Also present and helping in distribution was the "Tehsildar" (sub-district revenue officer who supervises the sub-district administration).

This village has more families that need help; we are making arrangements for some horses next time so that we can reach them instead of having them walk 4km by foot with the whole family.

Winter is coming, and this is one of the villages we must help.

Thank you for all your support.

We had firsthand experience, and we confirm to you that we can do more to help these poor Kashmiris.

Not just this village; there are many more that we have visited.

Thank you again.

Salam,

Tomorrow (28/7/2023) would be a great day for all muslims to fast during the day of Ashura, as it was mentioned by the prophet Muhammad S.A.W,  "The most excellent fast after Ramadan is God's month. al-Muharram" 

So, we would like to encourage all Muslims to fast during the day of 'Ashura.

It was narrated from Abu Qatadah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“Fasting the day of ‘Ashura’, I hope, will expiate for the sins of the previous year.” (Muslim)

​ May Allah S.W.T. bless us 

and also I would like to invite you to participate feeding the Minority Muslims in Cambodia.

any donation would help them, Insha Allah. 

Join our cause and help us raise funds for a better future.

On 25 June 2023, we distributed food packs to 50 poor families in a far-flung and high-security village in Kashmir.

This program was covered by a local newspaper, which appreciated the effort taken by Iltizam and our local partner, Human Aid Society Kashmir.

Actually, these 50 food packs distributed in Baramulla district are our initial help because this is the first time Iltizam has extended our Zero Hunger program for Kashmir in Baramulla District. 

Before this, we covered mostly Srinagar, Poonch, and Budgham districts in the Jammu-Kashmir region.

Now we are motivated to do more.

Before this, we covered mostly Srinagar, Poonch, and Budgham districts in the Jammu-Kashmir region.

We are motivated to do more now.

Very soon, we are going to distribute to another 100 families in Baramulla. This is a security-sensitive village; hence, our local partner will need a special permit before distribution work can be done.

Please keep supporting this program.

All praise is to Allah only. Another 157 families received food baskets, and this time we are giving in conjunction with Eid al-Adha, which was celebrated on 30/6/2023 in Kashmir.

In line with Iltizam’s initiative in all 11 countries, this time we also distributed food baskets along with fresh qurbani meat. This is to enable the poor to cook the meat and enjoy Eid with their family.

23/6/2023, Baramulla, Kashmir.

All Praises to Allah Only. This mission is to deliver just 40 food baskets to people in urgent need of food aid, but it is a very challenging mission.

Our local partner took 2 days to reach this border village near LAC (Line of Actual Control, a border between Indian occupied Kashmir and Pakistan) and return safely back to Baramulla, Kashmir.

They have to use an ambulance to transport the food baskets to avoid any untowardness and ensure better safety.

The village is also located in a heavily militarized zone where a special permit is needed to enter. Alhamdulillah, our team safely returned without any incidents.

Another 10 food baskets were distributed at Baramulla itself. In total, 50 food baskets were distributed.

Thank you to all donors for your support.

Together, we are helping at least 600 to 700 people to eat suhoor and iftar this Ramadan.

The beneficiaries are poor and the needy, especially among the single mothers of Kashmir.

The Kashmir issue is just like a time bomb. It will explode anytime, and in the even of any escalation, it will throw the poor Muslims into more suffering and hardship.

"The believers are but brothers" (Q49:10).

Ramadan, it's also a month to double your giving.

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was the most generous of people and he was even more generous in Ramadan (Saheeh Bukhari and Muslim).

Share little bit of your blessed provision to feed the poor and the needy, the orphans and the single mothers in Kashmir this Ramadan.

Ramadan is fast approaching. We are still struggling to raise enough funds.

We want to get vital food packs delivered by the first week of Ramadan to the oppressed and very poor Kashmiri Muslims living in far-flung areas.
