Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

We want to do everything in the name of Allah the Almighty during this blessed month of Ramadan, which is approaching us very soon. Ramadan 2026 is expected to begin on the evening of Tuesday 17 February 2026 and will conclude on the evening of Wednesday 18 March 2026, with the exact dates contingent upon the sighting of the moon. The beginning of the month depends on seeing the new moon, the exact date will be confirmed by local mosques closer to the time.

Ramadan is a month of fasting and spiritual development. Muslims who are blessed with good health and capability to restrain themselves from eating or drinking anything from sunrise to sunset every day for a month.

Besides additional prayers, Ramadan is a month in which charitable acts are highly recommended. This is because every good deed performed during Ramadan by giving Sadaqah or Zakat is rewarded 70 times and the night of Laylatul Qdar is equivalent to having performed the same act every day for over 83 years Subhan’Allah.

International Islamic Youth League LTD/GTE is preparing to provide support to the orphans, widows and many needy families during this blessed month of Ramadan. With the help of generous donors, we were able to distribute ready-made meals and food parcels to people in need last year. Our nutritious supplies have enabled families around the world to participate in Iftar and Suhoor together for a month without worrying about where their next meal will come from.

We will be working on many projects this Ramadan Insha’Allah in places like Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic and Mali where people are suffering being oppressed and pleading for help.

Through increased worship, good deeds, and social gatherings during the blessed month of Ramadan, we have the chance to amass mercy and rewards. Suhoor and Iftar are times when many underprivileged people around the world struggle to eat. This Ramadan, your generosity and kindness can win people over with your love.

One of the Five Pillars of Islam is Zakat, which is a yearly Islamic duty. Zakat is an obligatory act of worship for all Muslims; it is not an option.
