Bring A Smile This Eid
Distribution of Fitra and food packs are arranged by the Trust to distribute to countless impoverished families in areas identified with careful monitoring and evaluation techniques
What is Fitra?
In Arabic, the word Fitrah, Fitrana or Zakat al Fitr translates into the ‘natural instinct to give’. It is obligatory on every Muslim. However, Fitra is not the same as Zakat. The purpose of Muslims giving Fitra before Eid is to ensure that others around them are in the position to celebrate Eid with them.
One cannot celebrate while his neighbour goes hungry. This charity has been made obligatory so that we understand our responsibility towards our society. We are commanded to care for those around us just like we care for our own families.
Fitra is a gift of an amount of staple food (such as wheat, rice, barley) or equivalent money that is given to the poor or needy. The ‘amount’ is fixed too. It is usually 2.5kgs of wheat per head with the current economic rate of £30.
Usually one can start giving Fitra from 27th day of Ramadan.
Goal
We aim to distribute 500 Eid Packs consisting of staple food for 5 days, toys for children, and clothes for the family.
