Dear Reader,

Assalamualaikum Warahmahtullahi Wabarrakatuh,

We live in an extraordinary time and world, defined by both complexity and paradoxes. Humanity has reached unprecedented scientific and technological advancement, yet our world remains burdened by conflict, tragedy, and widespread poverty.

As I reflect on the state of our world, I am reminded of the real privilege it is to lend a helping hand to those in need. Giving is not merely a responsibility; it is an act of gratitude. What we carry in our hands is not ours alone, God Almighty has entrusted us with what we have, and it is through helping others that we truly honour this trust.

In 2019, I came across the Refugee Zakat Fund run by UNHCR. Since then, I have witnessed its credibility, transparency, and efficiency in delivering Zakat to those most in need. The Fund stands out as a trusted, fully Sharia-compliant mechanism ensuring every contribution reaches eligible families. UNHCR’s consistent reporting have reinforced my trust and shown how the Fund translates generosity into measurable impact.

The Fund’s support extends beyond relief, opening doors to education and empowering refugee youth with skills to rebuild their communities and achieve self-reliance.

I invite you all to join me in supporting refugees through the Refugee Zakat Fund, and witness how just 2.5% of your savings can transform vulnerable lives.

Sincerely,
Dr. Wael Al Mahmeed
