<p class="has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-3517462ba25bbfe749415da33dc98ff6"><strong><a href="https://almadinah-center.org/en/ramadan-2026/#Table" data-type="link" data-id="https://almadinah-center.org/en/ramadan-2026/">Donate to help</a></strong></p>



<p>There is something deeply special about the month of Ramadan — a month where every good deed is multiplied, where the gates of mercy are flung wide open, and where the act of feeding a fasting person carries a reward that most of us can barely imagine. The Prophet ﷺ said: <em>&#8220;Whoever feeds a person breaking his fast will earn the same reward as him, without anything being lessened from the reward of the fasting person.&#8221;</em> (Tirmidhi) Read that again. The <strong>same reward</strong> — without taking anything away from the one who fasted. SubhanAllah.</p>



<p>At Al-Madinah Center, we are working to make sure that no one sits down to an empty table at iftar this Ramadan. There are families in our community — real people, your neighbors — who will break their fast with whatever little they have, or sometimes with nothing at all. Your donation, no matter the size, can change that. It can be the reason a child smiles when the adhan of Maghrib is called. It can be the reason an elderly man or woman doesn&#8217;t spend iftar alone and hungry.</p>



<p>Allah ﷻ reminds us in Surah Al-Insan: <em>&#8220;<strong>And they give food, in spite of their love for it, to the poor, the orphan, and the captive.</strong>&#8220;</em> This was the description of the people of Jannah — not people who gave when it was easy, but people who gave even when they loved what they were giving away. That is the standard we are invited to rise to, especially in these blessed days.</p>



<p>We are almost certain that when we stand before Allah on the Day of Judgment, none of us will wish we had given less. So let this Ramadan be different. Let it be the one where you chose to feed someone for the sake of Allah, with no expectation in return. Visit <a href="https://almadinah-center.org/en/ramadan-2026/"><strong>almadinah-center.org</strong> </a>and make your donation today — because the iftar you provide for someone else might just be the deed that tips your own scale.</p>

<p><strong>Ramadan is coming back — a blessed guest that always comes quickly and leaves even quicker.</strong> Expect it around the middle of February.</p>



<p>Another year has passed, and Allah has allowed us to witness Ramadan once again. How many hoped to reach this month but did not? <em>Alhamdulillah</em> for this blessing. We ask Allah to grant us long life in obedience, to fast its days, stand its nights in prayer, and accept from us our deeds. 🤲</p>



<p>As always, <strong>Al-Madinah Center</strong> will be hosting <strong>Taraweeh prayers</strong> and offering <strong>daily Iftar</strong> for our community. Sharing food with those who are fasting is a great reward, as the Prophet ﷺ said that whoever provides Iftar for a fasting person receives the same reward without reducing the fasting person’s reward.</p>



<p>Check our Ramadan Ifatr to sponsor or donate: <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SVQ_2dG2nrEnkWUUBzrc_V8KOiAswlJ2YUB58tueA8o/view?gid=0#gid=0">Ramadan Iftar Schedule</a></p>



<p>To look at certain days: <a href="https://almadinah-center.org/en/ramadan-2026/" data-type="page" data-id="4257">Ramadan (2026): Iftar, Souhour, Food Basket, Zakat-Ul-Fitr, Fidyah and Kaffarah</a></p>



<p>We invite you to be part of this <strong>goodness</strong> season. Your support—whether by donating, sponsoring an Iftar, or sharing this message—helps keep this beautiful tradition alive. May Allah multiply the reward for everyone who contributes and makes others break their fast.</p>



<p><em>May this Ramadan be a source of mercy, forgiveness, and closeness to Allah for all of us.</em></p>

<p></p>



<p>As the sun dips below the horizon, a sense of anticipation fills the air during Ramadan. Donate an iftar in Ramadan and double your reward as the prophet Peace be upon him promised us all. </p>



<p>The iftar, the meal that breaks the daily fast, is more than just food. When we have iftar together and we share, we are actualizing the sacred act of sharing. We are solidifying the unbreakable bonds amongst Muslims. Donating to iftar drives is an act of worship in itself, echoing the Prophet Muhammad&#8217;s (peace be upon him) words: &#8220;<strong>Whoever provides the food for a fasting person to break his fast, will have a reward similar to theirs, without their reward being diminished at all.</strong>&#8220;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized is-style-rounded"><a href="https://almadinah-center.org/en/ramadan-2024-iftar-souhour-food-basket-zakat-ul-fitr-fidyah-and-kaffarah/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="724" height="1024" src="https://almadinah-center.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Gold-Minimalist-Elegant-Ramadan-Event-Poster1-724x1024.png" alt="Ramadan the month of mercy and forgiveness" class="wp-image-4278" style="width:409px;height:auto" title="Ramadan the month of mercy and forgiveness"/></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ramadan the month of mercy and forgiveness</figcaption></figure>



<p>By supporting iftar drives, we extend a lifeline to those in need, offering not only nourishment but also the comforting knowledge that they are not forgotten. Whether it&#8217;s a struggling family, a student far from home, or someone experiencing hardship, our contributions ensure that the spirit of Ramadan – a time of compassion and generosity– touches their lives.</p>



<p>Giving to those less fortunate is not merely a good deed; <strong>it&#8217;s a reflection of our faith.</strong> Let us open our hearts and hands this Ramadan, empowering our brothers and sisters to experience the full blessings of this sacred month.</p>



<p><strong>Ramadan brings our hearts together !</strong></p>
