Hajar (AS): The Story of Every Family in Crisis

When Hajar (AS) was left alone in the desert with her infant son, Ismail (AS), she ran across the hills of Safa and Marwa urgently in need of food, water, or help to keep her baby alive.
‍
Allah, in His mercy, responded with the blessed source of water that continues to flow to this day — Zamzam.
‍
Today, thousands of families in our own communities are running through the same struggles. Not between the hills of Safa and Marwa, but between shelters and food banks. Not under the scorching desert sun, but under the weight of unpaid bills and empty fridges.

Just as Allah gave Hajar (AS) the mercy of Zamzam, He has given us the mercy of Zakat and Sadaqah, a lifeline that reaches others through people like you - one neighbour helping another.

This Dhul Hijjah, your stream of giving creates a flow of hope for those who need it most.
