Suhoor and Iftar Meals for Needy Muslims
Ramadan is a time of reflection, devotion, and generosity. As we prepare for Ramadan 2025, our priority remains clear: to provide nourishing Suhoor and Iftar meals to the needy while also strengthening the economic cycle of struggling families. One of our recent initiatives has been the purchase of 900 kilos of corn from local farmers, ensuring that both the farming community and those in need benefit from this charitable project.
The Importance of Corn in Ramadan Meals
Corn is a versatile grain that holds an important place in many traditional dishes across the Muslim world. With its ability to be transformed into a variety of meals, salads, and desserts, it is a staple ingredient for Iftar. Some beloved Muslim desserts made from corn include:
- Basbousa – A semolina and corn flour cake soaked in syrup, often flavored with coconut or rose water.
- Atayef – Small pancakes filled with sweetened cream or nuts, sometimes made with a touch of corn flour for extra texture.
- Corn Pudding (Mihallabiya) – A smooth and creamy dessert made with corn flour, milk, and sugar, topped with nuts or cinnamon.
- Sweet Corn Soup – A light and nourishing appetizer, perfect for breaking the fast before the main meal.
By incorporating corn into Iftar, we provide a nutrient-rich ingredient that can be prepared in various forms to satisfy different dietary needs and cultural tastes.
Strengthening the Local Economy Through Charity
At ‘Our Islamic Charity,’ we are committed to ethical sourcing. That’s why we prioritize purchasing from local farmers, many of whom struggle with financial instability. By buying corn from them at a fair price, we not only support their families but also create a positive economic impact within the community.
The purchase of 900 kilos of corn was a moment of joy and relief for these farmers, who often face difficulties in selling their crops at sustainable rates. Our initiative directly contributes to improving their livelihoods, ensuring they can continue their work with dignity and hope.
From Farm to Iftar: The Journey of Giving
The process of transforming this corn into nourishing meals was truly inspiring. A portion of the corn was milled into flour using traditional water mills, an initiative undertaken by devoted Muslim volunteers who participated with enthusiasm. Witnessing their dedication to serving those who fast during Ramadan was one of the most touching aspects of this project.
Once processed, the corn and its flour were carefully packaged and distributed to our charity kitchens. These essential ingredients will now be turned into warm, hearty dishes for Suhoor and Iftar, providing sustenance to those who need it most. The entire journey–from the hands of the farmers to the tables of the needy–was driven by the spirit of Islamic generosity and communal support.
Supporting War-Torn Countries in Ramadan 2025
As we enter Ramadan 2025, we must be more attentive to the needs of our brothers and sisters in war-torn countries. As Muslims, we have a duty to care for one another, as Allah says in the Quran:
“The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy.” (Surah Al-Hujurat 49:10).
In this blessed month, ‘Our Islamic Charity’ will continue focusing on the war-torn countries of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen. Many of our fellow Muslims in these regions are displaced and struggling to fulfill their religious duties. We will strive to provide them with the support they need to observe fasting with dignity and sustenance. We also ask them to pray for all Muslims around the world, as we stand together in faith and compassion.
