As we prepare for Ramadan 2025, a devastating reality unfolds within the Ummah. The lands that Allahﷻ blessed, where our beloved Prophets once walked, where Masjid Al-Aqsa still stands, are crying out in pain.

• In Gaza alone, over 55,000 people have now been killed or are presumed dead – more than HALF of them women and children.

• At least 16.7 MILLION Syrians require urgent humanitarian aid to survive – 72% of the entire population.

• The devastation in Lebanon has forced 1.5 MILLION to flee from their homes. Our entire Ummah is in pain.

Subhan’Allah, these are not just statistics – this is our family, and if your family was suffering, wouldn’t you rush to help them? The Prophetﷺ taught us that Muslims are like one body – when one part hurts, the whole body feels the pain. Right now, our Muslim brothers and sisters are in agony. Their pain should be our pain.

The Prophetﷺ said: “Whoever relieves a Muslim of some worldly distress, Allah will relieve him of some of the distress of the Day of Resurrection.” –[Ibn Majah]

As we reflect on these profound words, we are reminded of the bond that ties us together as an Ummah. Today, we cannot turn our backs on our Muslim family. Our strength lies in our unity, and right now, the Blessed Lands need us united, Together as One.

Children in these lands are unable to sleep due to the relentless pain of starvation, their fragile bodies crying out in the night. Families are forced to drink contaminated and deadly water, risking their lives with every sip. The sick and injured, deprived of basic medical care, endure unimaginable suffering without any relief or hope.

Can you imagine mothers, helplessly watching their children suffer from hunger and disease? Or fathers, battling insurmountable challenges every day just to provide for their families? These are not mere statistics–they are our brothers, our sisters.

They can’t wait any longer. Together, we can heal our Ummah. One small act of kindness, one gesture of support, can ripple through the lives of those in urgent need. Your contribution, no matter the amount, can bring food to an empty table, clean water to parched lips, and medicine to the injured.

Do you hear their desperate calls for help? Will you stand with us, hand in hand, heart to heart, in their greatest hour of need? Let’s embrace the teachings of our beloved Prophetﷺ and give life-saving emergency aid this Ramadan.

May Allahﷻ, in His infinite mercy, reward you abundantly for your generosity. Together, we can be the beacon of hope and healing our Ummah so desperately needs.
