With the affirmation of the legality of donating Zakat funds for this purpose, based on a Fatwa issued by the Emirates Fatwa Council, this initiative opens new horizons for goodness and giving in our society.

Importance of the Project:

Charity and Zakat are fundamental pillars in Islam, calling for solidarity and empathy among community members. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Heal your sick with charity," emphasizing the healing effect of giving. Allah Almighty also says in His noble book, "Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase," (At-Tawbah: 103). From this perspective, the "Zakat Fund" project aims to direct Zakat towards supporting the treatment of cancer patients, thereby alleviating the burden on them and their families.

The Legitimacy of Donating Zakat for Patient Treatment:  

Based on a Fatwa from the Emirates Fatwa Council, donating Zakat funds for the treatment of cancer patients has become a legitimate and recommended act, opening a great door for reward and blessing. This step enhances the concept of Zakat as a means of purification and growth, not only for the individual Muslim but for the society as a whole.

A Call for Participation and Donation: 

We invite everyone who is able to contribute to the "Zakat Fund" project, supporting cancer patients and affirming the spirit of cooperation and mutual support advocated by our noble religion. Remember the words of Allah Almighty: "And whatever good you spend will be repaid to you, and you will not be wronged" (Al-Baqarah: 272).

Let us all be part of this virtuous initiative, contributing to building a community filled with goodness and blessing.

The "Zakat Fund" Project 

presents a golden opportunity for the community to contribute to the treatment of cancer patients, benefiting from the religious Fatwa that blesses this charitable work.

A Charitable Initiative for Treating Cancer Patients"

"Whoever does righteous good deed, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (in the Oneness of God), to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do" (An-Nahl: 97). Inspired by this noble verse, the Al-Sadaqa Project emerges as a charitable initiative from the Emirates Cancer Association to support and treat cancer patients. It is a call for everyone capable of giving to be part of this healing journey, affirming that charity is not just financial aid, but also healing for the souls and comfort for the hearts.

The Importance of the Project and the Role of Charity:

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Cure your sick by giving Sadaqah (charity)." Charity has a great effect in healing the sick and alleviating suffering. The Al-Sadaqa Project aims to embody this concept, directing donations to cover treatment costs for cancer patients who cannot afford to face this challenging ordeal.

It is an opportunity for the community to show solidarity and a sense of responsibility towards its needy members.

Donation as Worship:

"The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing" (Al-Baqarah: 261).

By donating to the Al-Sadaqa Project, giving turns into an act of worship that multiplies the reward and blesses the provision. It is an invitation to contribute to a charitable work that benefits the entire community and embodies the generosity and altruism encouraged by our noble religion.

A Call to Participate:

We invite everyone, individuals, and institutions, to contribute whatever they can to this noble initiative. Let us all be part of this equation of goodness, contributing to bringing smiles to the faces of patients and their families, and affirming the values of compassion and affection that unite us as one community.

 Al-Sadaqa Project is a gateway of hope for many cancer patients searching for a ray of light in the long tunnel of their illness. With your support and charity, we can together alleviate their suffering and provide the necessary support to face this challenge.
