GIVE SADAQAH THIS RAMADAN

For those who give in Charity, men and women, and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan, it shall be increased manifold (to their credit), and they shall have (besides) a liberal reward. (The Holy Qur’an 57:18)

Sadaqah is a form of voluntary charity which brings Barakah and blessings to our wealth and can even extend our lives when given sincerely for the sake of Allah (SWT).

Our founder Imran Khan set a powerful example when he donated his prize money from the 1992 Cricket World Cup to open our first cancer hospital in 1994. Millions more from around the world have since been inspired to join his legacy, in the hope of reward from the Almighty.

This Ramadan, let us come together to give what we can with sincerity and generosity.

Give Sadaqah

 

Our founder has dedicated his life to improving the welfare of ordinary Pakistanis. He is unable to make an appeal for our hospitals this year, but in his absence, we hope you will continue supporting our patients with your Sadaqah and show that we still stand together in the fight against cancer.


EXAMPLES OF SADAQAH

Any good deed that helps another can be considered Sadaqah, whether it's a kind word or smile, or a monetary gift to help someone in need. Here are a few ways your Sadaqah can bring relief to patients at Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital this Ramadan:

Feed a cancer patient

With long and costly journeys to our hospitals, often in unfamiliar cities far from home, many of our patients arrive malnourished and lack the resources to buy food for themselves. Your Sadaqah can provide comfort and nourishment to help with a patient’s treatment and recovery. £5 provides two hospital meals for a day. £50 can feed a patient for 10 days. £150 will allow you to share your Iftar for the entire month.

Give Sadaqah for Food

 
Build Karachi Hospital

In May 2023, we opened the doors of a new Walk-in Clinic to patients, marking a significant milestone in the construction of our new state-of-the-art cancer hospital. With over 40% of the local population living on less than 80 pence a day and 75% of those living in rural neighbourhoods nearby facing similar levels of deprivation, giving Sadaqah towards our new hospital this Ramadan will bring renewed hope to those in desperate need.

Hospital Running Costs

Your Sadaqah plays a vital role in purchasing essential equipment such as radiation therapy machines, chemotherapy drugs, and medical instruments for surgical procedures, as well as paying the salaries of specialist medical staff like Dr Sadia Abdullah and Dr Haroon Hafeez, security guards, cleaners, and others involved in the day-to-day care of patients. Unfortunately, Zakat cannot be allocated for these expenses, so please give generously this Ramadan.

GIVE SADAQAH WHERE NEEDED

 


THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SADAQAH & ZAKAT

3 things about Sadaqah

Zakat and Sadaqah are both forms of charitable giving in Islam but differ in their duty and purpose.

Zakat is a mandatory payment on savings above a certain level, where a fixed percentage is taken from one's surplus wealth. There are strict guidelines on how Zakat can be used, and the one giving it benefits more than the one receiving it. Sadaqah, on the other hand, is a voluntary donation with no upper or lower limit. It can be given to a variety of causes, and it benefits both the giver and the receiver equally.

We understand that the best charity can be given in secret. Give Sadaqah anonymously online this Ramadan and let Allah (SWT) take care of the rest!
