After the devastating floods of 2022 destroyed my home, my family and I were left homeless and helpless. During this difficult time, Alkhidmat provided us with shelter, food, and clean water. Today, thanks to Alkhidmat, we have a new home and a new beginning. I am living peacefully with my family and am truly grateful for their support.

After my father’s passing, my education and hopes for the future began to fade. I felt lost and believed my life had come to a halt. Alkhidmat supported me during this difficult time, helped me regain confidence, and guided me toward a brighter future. Today, I am hopeful and moving forward again. I am truly grateful to Alkhidmat for their support.

On Diwali, every parent wishes to bring happiness to their children, but financial difficulties often make this impossible. This year, Alkhidmat arranged gifts for our families, filling our homes with joy and peace. Our children are celebrating Diwali with smiles, and for that, we are deeply thankful to Alkhidmat.

With no proper healthcare nearby, my pregnancy was filled with fear and uncertainty. The opening of Alkhidmat Safe Mother Safe Family Center changed everything. I received free, compassionate care, regular checkups, and postnatal support from qualified lady doctors. Today, I hold my healthy baby with confidence and hope. I am deeply thankful to Alkhidmat for being a true blessing in my motherhood journey.

During Ramadan, donations can be made in various forms, including Zakat (obligatory charity), Sadaqah (voluntary charity), Fidya (compensation for missed fasts), Kaffara (penalty for breaking fast), Fitra (charity given before Eid), and general donations to support feeding programs, orphan care, and assistance to widows.
Giving Alms (Sadaqah) in Ramadan is highly rewarded, as it helps fulfill the needs of the underprivileged and brings joy to those fasting. It is considered an act of kindness and compassion, with blessings multiplied during this sacred time.
Giving Fidya, which is a compensation for missed fasts due to illness or other valid reasons, during Ramadan is rewarded with blessings and forgiveness. It allows individuals to fulfill their religious obligations while supporting those in need.
Feeding those who are fasting in Ramadan holds immense reward, as it helps fulfill a fundamental need during the month of fasting. Providing nourishment to others brings blessings, gratitude, and a sense of unity within the community.
Giving Fitra, a specific form of charity given before Eid, is highly recommended in Ramadan. It purifies one's fast and brings blessings. Fitra is meant to ensure that everyone, including the poor and needy, can partake in the joyous occasion of Eid.
Giving Fitra benefits both the giver and the receiver. It helps ensure that those less fortunate can also celebrate Eid, provides them with basic necessities, and fosters a sense of equality and unity within the community.
Aghosh Homes Alkhidmat supported by your Zakat provides a nurturing and safe environment for orphaned children. They receive proper care, education, and emotional support, ensuring their overall well-being and development.
The Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan operates with transparency and dedication. They provide regular reports and updates on how your Zakat is utilized in supporting orphaned homes. You can also request to visit the orphaned homes and witness firsthand the impact of your Zakat.
Giving Zakat in Ramadan carries great reward, as the blessings of charitable acts are multiplied during this holy month. It provides an opportunity to purify wealth and attain spiritual growth while helping those in need.
Giving Sadaqat (charitable donations) in Ramadan brings immense rewards, both spiritually and socially. It helps alleviate the suffering of the needy, fosters a sense of community, and earns blessings and forgiveness from Allah.
Giving Kaffara, a penalty for intentionally breaking fasts without valid reasons, during Ramadan is a means of seeking forgiveness from Allah and purifying oneself. It serves as a reminder to uphold the sanctity of fasting and supports charitable causes simultaneously.
Sponsoring orphans in Ramadan is a noble act with great rewards. It allows individuals to take on the responsibility of providing for the needs of an orphan, including food, shelter, education, and healthcare, while earning continuous blessings from Allah.
Fitra should be given before the day of Eid, ideally on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr, after the completion of Ramadan and before the Eid prayer.
Your Zakat is utilized by Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan to distribute Ramadan ration to underprivileged communities as well as organize Iftar dinner for fasting persons, orphans and widows. It can also be used to run chains of orphaned homes namely Aghosh Homes Alkhidmat to provide food, clothing, shelter, education, healthcare, and emotional support to orphaned children.
