A man asked the Prophet (alayhisalaam), "O Allah's Messenger! What kind of charity is the best?" He (alayhisalaam) replied. "To give in charity when you are healthy and greedy hoping to be wealthy and afraid of becoming poor. Don't delay giving in charity till the time when you are on the death bed when you say, 'Give so much to so-and-so and so much to so-and so,' as at that time the property is not yours but it belongs to so-and-so (i.e. your inheritors)."

In many communities, the loss of a breadwinner leaves families without a stable source of income, forcing them to endure hunger and hardship. Our Widow & Orphan Food Pack programme provides essential food supplies to families who are struggling to survive. These food packs are carefully prepared to provide nutritious staples that help sustain households for weeks at a time, offering immediate relief and peace of mind.

By supporting this appeal, you help ensure that widows and orphans do not go to sleep hungry. Your generosity restores dignity, reduces suffering, and provides comfort to families during their most difficult times. Beyond addressing hunger, this programme offers reassurance to widows who carry the heavy responsibility of caring for their families alone. Knowing that food is available allows them to focus on their children’s wellbeing, health, and emotional needs without the constant fear of scarcity.

This support also strengthens entire communities by easing the burden on those most at risk. When widows and orphans are cared for, families become more resilient, children are better able to learn and grow, and hope is restored where it is needed most.

“Supporting the Widow & Orphan Food Pack programme has been deeply rewarding. As Muslims, we are taught to care for widows and orphans, and this initiative truly reflects that value. Knowing that my contribution helps families receive nutritious food during such difficult times gives me peace of mind. The transparency and impact of the programme reassured me that my support is making a real difference. I would highly recommend supporting this cause to anyone who is able.”
