Donate to Honour the Month of Muharram

DONATE WATER HAND PUMP

The month of Muharram holds great significance for the Muslim community, particularly because of the events that unfolded in the battle of Karbala over 1400 years ago. 

During this time, Imam Hussain (RA) and his companions faced immense hardships, including deprivation of basic necessities like water and food. By engaging in acts of charity, such as donating water and cooked food, it’s time to commemorate and honour the sacrifices made by Imam Hussain (RA) and his followers.

Why Muharram is So Special?

This month of giving holds deep significance within the Muslim community, not only as one of the four sacred months but also as a month interweaved with historical Islamic events. It commemorates the profound migration of Muslims to Madina and serves as a solemn reminder of the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain (A.S) and the esteemed family members of the beloved Prophet (PBUH) during the Battle of Karbala.

The Prophet (PBUH) said:

“The year consists of twelve months, with four of them being sacred: Dhul-Qi’dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab, which falls between Jumada (Thani) and Shaban, belonging to the tribe of Mudar.” (Bukhari)

This narration underscores the sanctity and reverence accorded to these specific months within the Islamic calendar.

Muharram Food Distribution

Fatima Extends Warm Thanks to AWF

"Facing adversity is never easy, and during Muharram 2023, my struggles to provide nourishment for my children have been unexpectedly challenging. It is disheartening to find oneself in need of assistance, but when the Al-Wahab Foundation extended its generosity by offering us freshly cooked meals and clean drinking water, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. Though some may perceive it as a small gesture, for families like mine, this act of kindness signifies that someone cares and that we are not forgotten by society.

I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to all those who contributed to this initiative. The remarkable efforts of Mufti Abdul Wahab in assisting those less fortunate are truly praiseworthy. People and organizations such as Al-Wahab Foundation provide a lifeline of hope for individuals like us. May Allah bless them with multiple rewards in this blessed month of Muharram"

History of Muharram

As the crescent of this sacred month graces our skies, marking the beginning of a new Islamic year, we are reminded of profound historical events. It is a time when we recall the liberation of the Children of Israel by the Prophet Musa (AS) from the oppressive rule of Pharaoh, the joyous day when the Prophet Nuh (AS) and his companions disembarked from the Ark, and above all, the unparalleled sacrifices made by Imam Hussain (RA), his family, and companions during the Battle of Karbala.

Imam Hussain (RA) endured the heart-wrenching loss of his infant son, who tragically perished in his arms due to the denial of water, while countless others dear to him were held captive and martyred. Muharram stands as one of the holiest months, second only to Ramadan, urging us to strengthen our devotion to Allah (SWT) and pay respect to Imam Hussain (RA) through prayer, charity, and fasting.

This sacred month, you can express your reverence for the historical and spiritual significance of this month by donating water well or contributing to feeding the food-deprived people in honour of the Prophet (ﷺ), Imam Hussain (RA), or his companions. By doing so, you embark on a remarkable path of saving lives and transforming communities for generations to come.

Imam Hussain (RA) profoundly stated, “The most generous of people, is the one who gives to those from whom he has no hope of return.” – Imam Hussain (RA)
