Ramadan: Your donations are our Amanah 

During Ramadan 2024, Islamic Relief is continuing its life-saving work around the world, making sure your donations get to those who need them most. We are on the front lines in over 30 countries, just like we have been with every major disaster since 1984, delivering food, water and emergency relief to those in desperate need.

We take the responsibility of delivering your donations very seriously. We know that we are accountable to you, to the people we serve, and, ultimately, to Allah. 

Please don’t wait, people need your help more than ever. Donate generously in the blessed month of Ramadan.

It was a glimmer of hope when I got the chance to deliver aid for Islamic Relief Alhamdulillah…I feel the responsibility to make sure that each and every donation reaches those who need it. We work hard to deliver to people in areas that many organisations simply can’t reach. For me, this is an Amanah (trust) that supporters like you have placed in my hands.

Mohamed Hamza, Islamic Relief Syria Aid Worker.

Reasons people trust Islamic Relief

We’ve been delivering since 1984

Almost 40 years of delivering relief to people around the world makes us one of the longest-serving Muslim charities in the UK, Alhumdulillah. 



We are seriously effective

Because of you, in 2022, we helped to change the lives of over 13,283,400 people in 34 countries around the world.

Our work is scholar verified

An independent Zakat Advisory Board, made up of a group of respected scholars, has ratified our Zakat policy, and continues to provide advice to ensure our Zakat policy is Shari’ah-compliant.

Part of the Disasters Emergency Committee

Islamic Relief is the only Muslim charity that is part of the DEC. We’ve been a member alongside Oxfam, British Red Cross, Save the Children and others since 2005. 

We are 100% transparent

We don’t say that we have a ‘100% donation policy’. The truth is, it costs every single charity money to deliver relief – and we think you’d prefer us to be real about it. 

Certified Quality Assurance

We are one of only five UK based charities with HQAI (The Humanitarian Quality Assurance Initiative) accreditation. The HQAI are an independent and objective assurance body, which examines how we use your donations in detail every year, and makes sure they are being used as effectively as possible. 

'Charity of the Year’ 2022 winners!

Islamic Relief came out top against other leading UK charities. The judges of the prestigious Third Sector Awards said we “take responsibility for issues both locally and globally and are not afraid to step in wherever needed”.

What is Ramadan?

Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar.

Healthy adult Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan from dawn until dusk. Therefore this includes abstaining from drinking, eating, immoral acts and anger. Other acts of worship such as prayer, reading the Qu’ran and charity are also encouraged during the holy month.

When is Ramadan 2024?

This year, Ramadan is expected to begin on Monday 11th March 2024, and end on the evening of Tuesday 9th April 2024, depending on the sighting of the moon.

You can find up-to-date information on the Ramadan timetable.

When does Ramadan start in 2024?

Ramadan officially begins when the month of Islamic month of Shaban ends, and the new moon of Ramadan is sighted. This year, Ramadan is expected to begin on Monday 11th March 2024.

When does Ramadan end in 2024?

Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim celebration officially marks the end of Ramadan. The exact timing is based on the sighting of the moon. Eid al-Fitr officially begins at the start of the Islamic month of Shawwal. This year, Ramadan is expected to end on the evening of  Tuesday 9th April 2024 depending on the sighting of the moon.

What happens if you miss a fast during Ramadan?

If you’ve missed any fasts out of necessity and will never be able to fast to make up the lost days afterwards, you’re required to pay Fidya (Fidyah). For any other missed fasts you will need to make them up. For any fasts broken deliberately without need in the Hanafi Madhab you would need to make up the fast and also pay Kaffarah. In the Hanbali and Shafi Madhabs you would need to make up the fast and only pay Kaffarah if it was broken by marital relations.

Ramadan Sadaqah

The Prophet (PBUH) would give charity throughout the year but increase his Sadaqah during Ramadan. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “The Prophet (peace be upon him) was the most generous of people, and he was most generous during Ramadan.” (Bukhari)
