Ramadan 2026

Ramadan 2026 with Waduha

This Ramadan, Waduha continues its work across Pakistan, supporting families, children, and communities facing hardship. Ramadan is a month of reflection, responsibility, and generosity. During this sacred time, we work to ensure that zakat, sadaqah, and other charitable obligations reach people who need them most, with care and dignity. We understand the trust placed in us, by the people we serve, by those who give, and ultimately before Allah.

This Ramadan, give with intention. Donate your zakat and sadaqah for the sake of Allah.

When Is Laylatul Qadr?

Laylatul Qadr, also referred to as the Night of Power, is one of the most important and sacred nights in the Islamic calendar.

Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) said: “Search for the night of qadr in the odd nights of the last 10 days of Ramadan.”

Charity During Ramadan

The Prophet ﷺ was generous throughout the year, and his generosity increased during Ramadan. Charity during Ramadan holds special significance. Zakat, sadaqah, fidya, kaffarah, and fitrana are all ways to support those in need during this blessed month.
