The Significance of Charity in Ramadan with Global Ehsan Relief

Ramadan is a time for spiritual reflection, devotion, and increased acts of kindness. One of the most important aspects during this blessed month is to give charity. From Zakat to Sadaqah, the rewards of helping others in Ramadan are immense, making it the perfect time to be supporting communities in need.

Why Charity in Ramadan Matters

Ramadan emphasises selflessness and generosity. Charity during Ramadan is not just encouraged but it is deeply rooted in Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “The best charity is that given in Ramadan” (Tirmidhi). By supporting the less fortunate, we not only fulfil a religious duty but also embody the spirit of compassion that Ramadan represents.

Paying Zakat in Ramadan

You may be questioning “Do you have to give Zakat in Ramadan?” While it is not mandatory to pay Zakat specifically in Ramadan, many Muslims choose to do so because of the increased rewards. Zakat, one of the Five Islamic Pillars, is a mandatory duty that purifies wealth and assists those in need. Paying Zakat in Ramadan maximises blessings while supporting critical humanitarian causes.

Sadaqah in Ramadan

Beyond Zakat, giving Sadaqah in Ramadan is a powerful way to earn Allah’s mercy. Unlike Zakat, Sadaqah is voluntary and can be given in any amount. The benefits of Sadaqah in Ramadan include erasing sins, protecting from calamities, and bringing barakah (blessings) into one’s life.

Kaffarah and Fidya: Supporting Those Unable to Fast

Ramadan also provides an opportunity to care for those unable to fast. Fidya for Ramadan 2025 allows individuals who are unable to fast due to age or illness to compensate by feeding a poor person for each missed fast. Similarly, Kaffarah for not fasting in Ramadan involves feeding 60 people or fasting for 60 consecutive days if a fast is broken without valid reason.
