Help Feed Families in Afghanistan for Ramadan 2020

The Holy month of Ramadan is a time to reflect and be grateful for what we have. Other people around the world, especially in Afghanistan, don’t have the same luxuries as we do. Most of us are lucky enough to have a roof over our heads, a bed to sleep in, and enough food to break our fast with. It is important for us Muslims to care for each other and it is our duty to make sure our fellow brothers and sisters have the essentials to be able to have a satisfied iftaar. One of our active duties as a Muslim is to have the intention to give and provide for those who aren’t as fortunate as others are. In other words, this act is known as Zakat al Fitr. Afghanistan is a war-torn country with millions of people who are starving who don’t have a single piece of food to eat, let alone break their fast with. We have a responsibility to help those in need, in order to finish off Ramadan and enter Eid with full stomachs. As an act of kindness, we will help distribute food packages to families in need of this support during this Ramadan.


A donation of $30 will ensure a family with a package with food necessities that will last them with enough food for the month of Ramadan, leading up to the celebratory days of Eid-al-Fitr.


Food Package-

3.5 Kilos of Pasta

3.5 Kilos of Beans

1 Bottle (5 L) of Oil

7 Kilos of Sugar

3.5 Kilos of Green Tea

7 Kilos of Rice


Our beloved Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) had said: “Whoever provides the food for a fasting person to break his fast with, then for him is the same reward as his (the fasting person’s), without anything being diminished from the reward of the fasting person.” 


Remember, this is our time to give and gain rewards from this virtuous act. These families need our help. May Allah reward and give blessings to everyone contributing to this act of charity and kindness. -Palwasha Alokozai & Her Cousin
