For many families, the start of the Islamic New Year does not bring hope. It brings worry. Another year of struggling to find food, another year without clean water, another year of hardship.
Muharram 2026 is a chance to change that reality for someone. As one of the sacred months, it is a time when every good deed carries deeper weight. Through Al-Wahab Foundation, your Muharram donation can provide clean water, cooked food, and relief to those who need it most.
This is your opportunity to donate in Muharram and begin the year with mercy, purpose, and reward.
Muharram Appeals
Across many parts of the world, families wake up each day uncertain of their next meal. Children drink unsafe water. Parents carry the burden of providing very little.
This is where your Muharram charity makes a difference.
Through our food and water projects, Al-Wahab Foundation has supported 413,737 beneficiaries, delivered 101,837 cooked meals, and helped provide clean water access to 311,900 people across vulnerable communities.
Your donation continues this work, turning hardship into relief and worry into ease.Help vulnerable families begin the year with food, water, and dignity.
This Muharram, honor this blessed month by giving the Water is life. Without it, everything becomes difficult. Food is dignity. Without it, even a blessed day can pass in hunger.
Your Muharram donation helps provide both.
Clean water projects give families a safer source of drinking water, reducing illness and long daily journeys. Cooked food distributions provide warm, ready-to-eat meals for those who cannot store, cook, or access regular food.
When you donate in Muharram, you are not giving something small. You are giving ease, health, and dignity.
Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar and one of the four sacred months mentioned by Allah.
Allah says:
“Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve months of these, four are sacred.” Qur’an 9:36
It is a time when believers are encouraged to increase in worship, avoid wrongdoing, and draw closer to Allah.
The Prophet (PBUH) said:
“The best fasting after Ramadan is the month of Allah, Muharram.” Sahih Muslim
Giving Sadaqah in Muharram allows you to begin the year with sincerity. It reminds us that blessings are a trust from Allah, and that helping others is part of fulfilling that trust.
“Charity in sacred times should not only soften our hearts, but move our hands towards helping those who are hungry, thirsty, and forgotten.” Mufti Abdul Wahab, Chairman Al-Wahab Foundation
On the plains of Karbala, Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA), the beloved grandson of the Prophet (PBUH), stood firm in the face of injustice. Alongside his family and companions, he endured immense hardship, including days without water under the scorching sun.
The Day of Ashura is not just history. It is a living reminder of sacrifice, resilience, and standing for truth.
Today, when you give a Muharram donation, especially towards water, you reflect that legacy in action. Providing water to those who thirst honours the hardship faced in Karbala and transforms remembrance into mercy.
Your Muharram charity becomes a way of carrying forward that message, helping those who are struggling while remembering those who sacrificed.
Samarto’s family once walked long distances each day to collect water that was not even safe to drink. Illness was common, and daily life revolved around survival rather than stability.
Through a water project supported by donations, access to clean water changed everything. Time was saved. Health improved. The burden was lifted.
This is the impact your Muharram donation can have.
It is not just about water. It is about restoring dignity, protecting health, and giving families the chance to live with ease.
Before support, Samarto’s family depended on unsafe water. After AWF’s intervention, they gained access to clean drinking water, helping protect their health and daily wellbeing.
The Day of Ashura holds a special place in Islam. It is a day of fasting, reflection, and seeking closeness to Allah.
The Prophet (PBUH) encouraged fasting on Ashura and taught that it carries great reward.
Fasting softens the heart. Charity strengthens it.
When combined, they create a powerful act of worship. Giving Sadaqah in Muharram, allows you to turn your worship into direct benefit for others.
It is a day to remember sacrifice and respond with generosity.
The beginning of the Islamic year is not marked by celebration, but by reflection and intention.
It is a time to ask: how will I start this year with Allah?
Fasting, giving charity, making dua, and helping others are among the best ways to begin. When you donate in Muharram, you make your first actions meaningful.
Your charity becomes a foundation for the year ahead, filled with reward and impact. Begin the Islamic New Year with fasting, Sadaqah, and service to others.

Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar and one of the four sacred months. It is a time for increased worship, reflection, fasting, charity, and spiritual renewal.
Muharram 2026 is expected to begin around 16 June 2026 in the UK, subject to moon sighting. Ashura, the 10th of Muharram, is expected around 25 June 2026.
Fasting on Ashura is highly recommended because it is a Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH) and a day of great spiritual significance. Many Muslims fast on the 10th of Muharram and also fast a day before or after it.
