Projects

I am a content writer for our islamic charity, a charity institution that works to help the poor and needy people around the world. I am also a part of the charity team, and I share the same vision and mission as you. We believe in the values of Islam, such as compassion, generosity, justice, and mercy. We also believe in the concept of Sadaqah Jariyah, which is a continuous charity that benefits the donor and the recipient even after death.

In this article, I want to tell you about some of the amazing projects that we do based on setting up small fruit gardens or any Sadaqah Jariyah projects or other empowerment that is on the agenda. These projects are designed to improve the lives of the people in different countries and regions, such as Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. We aim to provide them with sustainable sources of income, food, and water, as well as education, health care, and social services.

I hope that you will enjoy reading this article and learn more about our work and our projects. I hope that you will also feel inspired and motivated to support us with your prayers, your donations, your feedback, and your suggestions. I hope that you will also join us in our journey of making a positive difference in this world.

The Fruit Garden Project
One of the examples of our projects is the fruit garden project. This project involves planting fruit trees in areas where there is enough water and soil for them to grow. The fruit trees provide shade, oxygen, and beauty to the environment. They also produce fruits that can be eaten by the people or sold in the market. The fruits can also be used to make jams, juices, or other products. The fruit trees are a gift that keeps on giving, as they can last for many years and produce more fruits every season.

The fruit garden project is a great way to help the people who live in poverty and hunger. It gives them a source of nutrition and income that they can rely on. It also gives them a sense of dignity and empowerment that they can manage their own resources and livelihoods. It also gives them a chance to improve their skills and knowledge in agriculture and business.

The fruit garden project is also a great way to earn rewards from Allah for ourselves and our loved ones. It is a form of Sadaqah Jariyah, which means that we will continue to receive blessings from Allah for as long as the fruit trees are alive and benefiting others. It is also a way to show our gratitude to Allah for all the blessings He has given us in this life. It is also a way to follow the example of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who said: “If any Muslim plants any plant and a human being or an animal eats of it, he will be rewarded as if he had given that much in charity.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

We have planted many fruit trees in different countries, such as Kenya, Somalia, Pakistan, Yemen, and others. We have seen the positive impact of these trees on the lives of the people and the environment. We have received many testimonials from the beneficiaries who have expressed their happiness and appreciation for our work.

We hope that you like these pictures and see how beautiful and fruitful these gardens are.

The Water Well Project
Another example of our projects is the water well project. This project involves digging wells in areas where there is a shortage of clean water. The wells provide access to safe and pure water for drinking, cooking, washing and irrigation. The wells also prevent diseases and infections that are caused by contaminated water. The wells are a lifeline for the people who depend on them for their daily needs.

The water well project is a vital way to help the people who suffer from thirst and dehydration. It saves them from walking long distances to fetch water from unsafe sources. It reduces their risk of getting sick or dying from waterborne illnesses. It improves their health and hygiene conditions. It also increases their productivity and efficiency in their work and education.

Our Budget And How We Manage It
We want you to know that we are very transparent and accountable in our work. We provide all these items in the project reports to the respected donors. We tell you how much each project costs, how many people benefit from it, how long it takes to complete it, and what challenges we face along the way. We also show you pictures and videos of the project sites and the beneficiaries.

We also want you to know that we are very careful and efficient in managing our budget. We try to minimize our expenses and maximize our impact. We use local resources and labor as much as possible. We also collaborate with other organizations and partners who share our goals and values.

Sometimes, our projects have a limited budget and this project can be more or less than the budget in practice. This depends on various factors, such as the size of the project, the location of the project, the availability of materials and equipment, the exchange rate of currencies, and so on.

If the projects have spent an amount less than the considered budget, the surplus of this amount is stored for the future project of the same type of project. For example, if we have some extra money left from a fruit garden project, we will use it for another fruit garden project in another area or country. This way, we can help more people with the same kind of project.

If the projects have spent more than the considered budget, the difference in the lack of budget will be paid from charity and other donations. For example, if we need more money for a water well project, we will use some of our general funds or donations from other sources to cover the gap. This way, we can ensure that the project is completed without any delay or compromise.

We hope that this article has given you some insight into our work and our projects. We hope that you will support us with your prayers, your donations, your feedback, and your suggestions. We hope that you will join us in our journey of making a positive difference in this world.

Thank you for reading this article. May Allah bless you and reward you for your generosity and kindness.

Peace be upon you.

The Quran is a rich source of stories and teachings that have been passed down for generations. Among the most significant of these stories is that of Prophet Ibrahim’s sacrifice, which is commemorated every year during the Festival of Sacrifice, also known as Eid al-Adha.

Prophet Ibrahim was a devout follower of Allah, and one day, he had a dream in which he was commanded by Allah to sacrifice his son Ismail. Despite the immense love he had for his son, Prophet Ibrahim knew that this was a test of his faith and he was willing to do whatever Allah commanded.

As he prepared to sacrifice Ismail, Allah intervened and provided a ram in his place. This act of faith and obedience is celebrated by Muslims worldwide, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of trust and obedience to Allah’s will.

One of the ways in which Muslims celebrate this event is through the ritual of Qurbani, which involves sacrificing an animal during the Festival of Sacrifice. The meat from this sacrifice is then distributed to the poor and needy, symbolizing the significance of sharing and caring for others in the Muslim community.

However, Qurbani is not just a religious obligation. It is also a reminder of the importance of empathy and charity, and it serves as a time for Muslims to remember the less fortunate and to give back to the community in a meaningful way. By performing this act of kindness, Muslims can experience firsthand the joy and fulfillment that comes from helping others.

In recent years, Qurbani has become an increasingly important source of relief for those in need. Relief Qurbani is a way for Muslims to help those who are suffering from poverty, conflict, and natural disasters. By providing meat to those in need, relief Qurbani can help ensure that families have access to nutritious food during challenging times.

Relief Qurbani is an excellent way for Muslims to embody the spirit of compassion and generosity that is at the heart of Islam. By giving to those in need, Muslims can help to alleviate suffering and make a positive impact on the world. It is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

The story of Prophet Ibrahim’s sacrifice and the ritual of Qurbani serve as important reminders of the values of trust, obedience, and generosity that are central to Islam. As Muslims, we are called upon to emulate these values in our daily lives and to give back to our communities in meaningful ways. By performing relief Qurbani, we can help to alleviate suffering and make a positive impact on the world. Let us continue to embody the spirit of compassion and generosity that is at the heart of our faith and strive towards a better world for all.

Food and NutritionProjectsReligionSadaqahWhat We Do

Infants and orphans up to 7 years old are very sensitive and have more needs than older children. They require constant care, attention, nutrition, health, education and protection. Providing for these needs can be challenging, especially for low-income families or caregivers. That’s why it’s important to have a monthly budget that covers all the expenses for these children.

Basic Necessities
The main priority for any infant or young orphan is providing basic necessities like food, clothing, and shelter. A monthly budget should allocate funds for:

  1. Food: Growing children need nutritious food regularly to support development and growth. The monthly food budget should cover formula, baby food, regular meals and snacks.
  2. Clothing: Young children grow quickly and need new clothing periodically. Funds should cover a range of sizes as children grow, as well as outerwear, sleepwear, undergarments and weather-appropriate clothing.
  3. Shelter: All young children need a safe, stable place to live that provides protection from the elements. This may mean covering rent, utilities and regular maintenance costs for facilities that house orphans.
  4. Health Care and Medication: Children this age require regular checkups, immunizations and treatment for common childhood illnesses. The monthly budget should account for medical, dental and vision care costs. It should also allocate funds for medications, supplements and basic first aid supplies.
  5. Personal Hygiene: Infants and toddlers need supplies like diapers, wipes, baby wash, toothbrushes and toothpaste. Funds should cover the costs of these basic hygiene essentials.

Quality Childcare
Beyond necessities, infants and young orphans need quality childcare to support healthy development and growth. Additional monthly costs may include:

  1. Nutritionist Consultations: An expert can ensure children are on the right track nutritionally to support physical and mental development.
  2. Pediatrician Visits: Beyond checkups, regular visits with a pediatrician can catch developmental delays, infections and other issues early.
  3. Therapy Services: Speech, occupational and physical therapy may help address developmental delays and ensure children reach critical milestones.

Unexpected Expenses
The monthly budget should also include some reserve funds for the unexpected. Young children’s needs often change rapidly and unforeseen costs arise frequently, including:

  1. Hospitalization or Surgery: Illnesses can require overnight hospital stays or outpatient procedures not covered by insurance.
  2. Testing: Doctors may order blood work, imaging scans or genetic testing not covered in a basic exam.
  3. Special Medications or Equipment: Treatments for serious illnesses or developmental issues may have high out-of-pocket costs.
  4. Growth Spurts: Children this age frequently outgrow clothes and footwear, requiring new items outside the regular schedule.
  5. Replacements: Toys, equipment and hygiene products often need replacement due to normal wear and tear.

Infants and young orphans are fully dependent on others for their basic needs and wellbeing. Setting up a comprehensive monthly budget can help ensure essential necessities are met along with supplemental funding for quality care, medical needs and unexpected costs. With a stable, consistent source of funding, these vulnerable children stand the best chance of healthy growth and development. In our Islamic charity, a dedicated monthly budget is considered to help infants and orphans up to 7 years old, so that we can ensure the health and quality of the child’s growth.

Tree Planting Projects to Combat Desertification

There’s an old saying that the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago; the second best time is now. In our struggle against desertification and soil erosion, we at our Islamic charity believe that the second best time is not just now, but every day for the next three to five years. We’re excited to share our long-term plan focusing on the planting and nurturing of specific tree species, including Haloxylon spp., Prosopis spp., Eucalyptus spp., Acacia spp., Baobab, Saxaul, and Olive trees. Each of these species has been carefully selected for their resilience and adaptability to harsh conditions, making them our warriors in the battle against desertification.

The Project Outlined

Our tree-planting project is more than just digging holes and dropping in saplings. It is about creating a sustainable and lasting impact on our environment and community. Imagine a barren, sandy landscape transforming into a lush, green oasis over the course of a few years. That’s the transformation we’re striving for.

We’ve chosen a variety of tree species native to regions in East Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East, each of which is uniquely equipped to withstand drought and poor soil conditions. Haloxylon and Saxaul trees, for instance, are known for their hardiness in Central Asian desert conditions. They store water in their trunks and branches and play a crucial role in stabilizing dunes and reducing wind erosion.

Acacia and Baobab trees, natives of East Africa, are not just drought-resistant, but they also improve soil quality, making the environment more conducive for other plants. The iconic Baobab even stores large amounts of water in its trunk, a natural adaptation to the harsh African climate.

Prosopis spp., commonly known as Mesquite, and Olive trees are ideal for the arid Middle Eastern climate. They are hardy, drought-resistant, and valuable for their fruit and wood. Meanwhile, Eucalyptus trees, with their rapid growth and adaptability, provide shade and timber, playing a vital role in the ecosystem.

Sustaining Growth: The Importance of Regular Watering

Planting the trees is just the first step. The real challenge is ensuring their survival and growth, especially in the critical initial years. And that’s where our long-term plan comes into play. Over the next three to five years, we’re committed to providing regular and scheduled watering to these trees.

Just as a newborn needs care and nourishment, these young saplings also require consistent attention. Water is life, and regular watering is crucial to help the trees take root and flourish. Our team will closely monitor the health of these saplings, adjusting watering schedules as necessary to ensure their survival and growth.

While we know that this journey won’t be easy, we’re inspired by the vision of a greener, healthier environment for our communities. Imagine a child today who will, in a few years, sit in the shade of a tree that we plant now. That’s the future we’re working towards.

Our fight against desertification and soil erosion is not a sprint; it’s a marathon. It’s a commitment that requires patience, dedication, and community effort. We invite you to join us on this journey, to plant the seeds of change and nurture them for a more sustainable future.

By embarking on this project, we’re not just planting trees; we’re planting hope. Hope for a greener planet, hope for healthier communities, and hope for a future where we live in harmony with nature. Let’s dig in and make a difference, one tree at a time.

Remember, every tree we plant is a statement of faith in our future. Let’s write that future together, one sapling at a time.

Environmental ProtectionProjectsReportWhat We Do

Planting a tree might seem like an ordinary act, but in Islam, it carries profound significance and abundant rewards. This seemingly simple act is more than just an environmental cause – it is a form of Sadaqah Jariyah, a continuous charity providing endless benefits. Let’s explore the beautiful intertwining of Islamic teachings and environmental stewardship, focusing on the virtues of tree planting.

Sadaqah Jariyah: The Gift That Keeps Giving

In Islamic jurisprudence, Sadaqah Jariyah represents an act of continuous charity, an ongoing act of kindness that continues to benefit others long after we pass away. It’s a concept rooted in the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): “When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for the deceased)” (Muslim).

Planting a tree, therefore, is a quintessential example of Sadaqah Jariyah. The tree continues to provide shade, fruits, and oxygen long after the planter’s life, benefiting countless creatures and maintaining the balance of our environment.

The Quranic Perspective on Tree Planting

The Holy Quran frequently uses the metaphor of a tree to convey multifaceted lessons. For instance, in Surah Ibrahim (14:24), it says: “Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches [high] in the sky?” This verse beautifully illustrates the potential impact of our good deeds, like planting a tree, which roots deeply and reaches high, benefiting many.

Furthermore, the Quran establishes a direct link between humans and the earth. In Surah A’raf (7:57), it says, “And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land, and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits.” This verse affirms the importance of rainfall to plant life, indirectly emphasizing the importance of planting trees.

The Green Deed: Advantages of Tree Planting

Planting trees is not just a spiritual act, but also a practical one with tangible benefits. Trees help to combat climate change by absorbing harmful CO2 from our atmosphere. They provide shade, reduce soil erosion, and contribute to the health of our ecosystems. Planting trees is thus a direct contribution to the preservation of Allah’s creation, a responsibility bestowed upon every Muslim.

Moreover, trees provide food and shelter for countless creatures, fulfilling the principle of ‘Rahmah’ (Mercy) in Islam. By planting a tree, we extend our charity to the non-human creatures of Allah’s creation, a deed we often overlook.

The Eternal Reward

In conclusion, the act of tree planting in Islam is a form of Sadaqah Jariyah, offering both worldly and spiritual benefits. By planting a tree, we practice an act of charity that continues to give, long after we’re gone. It’s a simple, yet profound act that meshes seamlessly with the Islamic principles of stewarding the earth and extending mercy to all creatures.

This beautiful interplay between faith and environmental stewardship allows us to reap the benefits in this world and the next, embodying the Hadith: “If the Hour (the day of Resurrection) is about to be established and one of you was holding a palm shoot, let him take advantage of even one second before the Hour is established to plant it.” (Authenticated by Al-Albani)

So, plant a tree, and sow the seeds for a lasting legacy, a Sadaqah Jariyah.
