Guide to Ramadan Giving for Palestine
Feb 28, 2025
Ramadan is a time of spiritual reflection, worship, and generosity. It is the month when good deeds are multiplied, and giving charity holds even greater rewards. As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"The best charity is given in Ramadan." (Tirmidhi)
For our brothers and sisters in Palestine, this sacred month is filled with hardship. Many families struggle with food insecurity, lack of medical care and displacement, making Ramadan donations for Palestine more important than ever.
In this blog, we will walk you through the best ways to donate to Palestine during Ramadan, ensuring your charity reaches those in need and makes a lasting impact.
The people of Palestine are facing one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world. Decades of conflict, displacement, and economic hardship have left millions struggling for basic necessities like food, clean water, and medical care. Many Palestinian families enter Ramadan with little to no access to meals for Suhoor and Iftar, making this sacred month even more challenging.
The situation is especially dire for:
Families living in Gaza with limited access to food, water, and electricity.
Orphans and widows who have lost their loved ones due to conflict.
Patients in urgent need of medical treatment, with hospitals struggling due to shortages.
Displaced individuals and refugees who have been forced out of their homes.
Allah commands us to help those in need:
وَأَنفِقُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا تُلْقُوا بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ
"And spend in the way of Allah and do not throw [yourselves] into destruction." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:195)
Ramadan is a month of blessings and mercy, where every good deed is multiplied many times over. Giving charity during this time carries immense rewards in the sight of Allah.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"Whoever gives food for a fasting person to break his fast, will have a reward like theirs, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest." (Tirmidhi)
This means that by providing Iftar meals to Palestinians, you earn the same reward as their fast, adding to your spiritual blessings in Ramadan.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said:
"Charity does not decrease wealth." (Sahih Muslim)
Donating does not take away from what we have—it purifies our wealth and brings barakah (blessings).

Donating during Ramadan is not just about fulfilling an obligation—it is about transforming lives. In Palestine, where many families face extreme hardship, your donations can provide essential relief and long-term support. Here’s how your generosity can make the biggest impact:
1. Providing Iftar and Suhoor for Palestinian Families
Food insecurity is one of the biggest challenges facing Palestinians, particularly in Gaza and the West Bank, where economic instability and restricted resources leave many unable to afford daily meals.
Your donations help by:
Providing Iftar and Suhoor meals for fasting families who struggle to afford food.
Distributing Ramadan food packages with essentials like rice, flour, dates, and cooking oil.
Supporting community kitchens that prepare meals for those in extreme poverty.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"He is not a believer whose stomach is full while his neighbor goes hungry." (Sunan Al-Kubra 19049)
By feeding a fasting person in Palestine, you not only nourish their body but also earn immense rewards for every meal provided.
2. Emergency Medical Relief for Injured Civilians
The healthcare system in Palestine is under extreme strain, with hospitals facing shortages of medicine, equipment, and medical staff. Ongoing conflicts result in thousands of injuries and long-term disabilities, making medical aid a critical necessity.
The Quran emphasizes the importance of saving lives:
وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا
"Whoever saves a life, it is as though he has saved all of humanity." (Surah Al-Ma’idah 5:32)
Your donations can help by:
Supplying hospitals and clinics with essential medicines and equipment.
Providing urgent medical care for wounded civilians.
Funding mobile clinics to reach areas with limited access to healthcare.
Supporting psychological and trauma counseling for children and families affected by war.
3. Shelter and Basic Necessities for Displaced Families
Due to ongoing conflict and home demolitions, thousands of Palestinians are displaced and forced to live in makeshift shelters with little protection from harsh weather conditions.
Your donations help by:
Providing emergency shelters for displaced families.
Distributing blankets, clothing, and hygiene kits for those living in refugee camps.
Funding water and sanitation projects to prevent disease outbreaks.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"The most beloved people to Allah are those who bring the most benefit to others." (Al-Mu’jam Al-Awsat 6192)
4. Long-Term Rebuilding Efforts: Education, Jobs, and Sustainable Aid
While immediate relief is essential, long-term support is just as important. Palestinians need sustainable aid to help them rebuild their lives and secure a better future.
Your donations can contribute to:
Education programs that provide scholarships and school supplies for children.
Job training programs to help adults learn skills and secure employment.
Microfinance projects that help families start small businesses and become self-sufficient.
Clean water initiatives to provide safe drinking water to families.

"Zakat is for the poor and the needy, and for those employed to collect it, and for bringing hearts together, and for freeing captives, and for those in debt, and for the cause of Allah, and for the stranded traveler." (Surah At-Tawbah 9:60)
