About Ramadan

Ramadan is a holy month of fasting, introspection and prayer for Muslims, the followers of Islam. Fasting is one of the five fundamental principles of Islam. Each day during Ramadan, Muslims do not eat or drink from sunrise to sunset. They are also supposed to avoid drinking, smoking, as well as unkind or impure thoughts and words, and immoral behavior. Muslims break their daily fasts by sharing meals with family and friends. Ramadan is a time to practice self-restraint and self-reflection. Fasting is seen as a way to cleanse the soul and have empathy for those in the world who are hungry and less fortunate. Muslims go to work and school and take care of their usual activities during Ramadan; however, some also read the entire Quran, say special prayers and attend mosques more frequently during this time.
All Muslims who have reached puberty and are in good health are required to fast. The sick and elderly, along with travelers, pregnant women and those who are nursing are exempt, although they are supposed to make up for the missed fast days sometime in the future or help feed the poor.
The first pre-dawn meal of the day during Ramadan is called “suhoor.” Each day’s fast is broken with a meal known as “iftar.” Traditionally, a date is eaten to break the fast. Iftars are often elaborate feasts celebrated with family and friends. The types of foods served vary according to culture.
At the end of Ramadan, there is a three-day “festival” known as Eid al-Fitr, one of Islam’s major holidays. This holiday is celebrated as a reward for the past month, and also serves as a reminder of being grateful for all that we have been blessed with.

Offering zakat is a religious obligation for Muslims, and is the third of the five pillars of Islam (right after prayer). In Arabic, zakat means purification, growth and blessing. Paying zakat is meant to remind Muslims to be appreciative of the blessings that Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) has bestowed upon them, and to help empower those who have less. There are two primary forms of zakat: zakat al-mal and zakat al-fitr. Zakat al-mal is not required to be given in the month of Ramadan, but many people prefer it due to the increased reward during this holy month.

The amount of zakat given is usually based off the current price of three ounces of gold.

Who is Eligible to Receive Zakat?
IMANA collects and distributes zakat to those who are most in need, in accordance with Islamic guidelines. Giving your zakat through IMANA means you can help support our global IMANA Medical Relief missions which have provided healthcare and treatment to over 2.5M + patients in 34 countries, as well as educational services and medical advocacy initiatives regarding the treatment of Muslims across the world. According to the Holy Qur’an (9:60), there are eight categories of people who qualify to be beneficiaries of zakat:

  • The poor
  • The needy
  • The collectors of zakat
  • Those whose hearts are to be won over
  • Captives
  • Those burdened with debt
  • In the cause of Allah (swt)
  • Travelers

Most scholars agree that the poor and needy are the most important categories of people to receive zakat. Given that, it is acceptable to give your entire zakat allotment to individuals who are in those groups.
