Give with confidence, knowing your donation reaches those who need it most.
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam, an obligatory annual charity of 2.5% on wealth that meets the nisab threshold. It purifies our wealth and uplifts those in need. Your Zakat is distributed to eligible recipients, including the poor, the needy, and those in debt. It supports food assistance, healthcare, education, and emergency relief, helping families move toward stability and dignity.
Your sadaqah is flexible, so we direct it where it can do the most good. Depending on your choice and the most urgent needs, it supports food security, clean water and sanitation, health care, emergency response, orphan sponsorship, and sustainable livelihoods. It can provide food for a family in crisis, treatment for a sick child, or tools and training that help a woman earn a steady income. Because sadaqah is not tied to a fixed category, it allows us to respond quickly when a new emergency begins. If you want your gift to go to one cause, you can select a program when you donate.
Sadaqa Jariyah is ongoing charity, a gift whose benefit continues to flow long after it is given, bringing continuous reward to the giver. Your donation helps build lasting projects such as water wells, schools, mosques, and sustainable livelihood programs that serve communities for years to come. Plant a seed of lasting good today and leave a legacy that keeps giving.
Your Aqiqah is carried out on your behalf according to the Sunnah, with the animal sacrificed and the fresh meat distributed to families in need. Through our food security program, the meat goes to poor households, orphans, and displaced families who rarely have meat on their table. Families may also receive other food support, so your thanksgiving for a child’s birth becomes a meal and a blessing for many families. We pray that your newborn grows up blessed and protected.
Nadhr is a promise you made to Allah to give in charity if a particular hope were fulfilled, such as recovery from illness, safe travel, or success in a task. Once the hope has been granted, honoring the vow is a religious obligation. Through our programs, your nadhr is directed to those in need, such as families facing hunger, children without clean water, orphans, and patients who cannot afford treatment. “Religious dues: Put Zakat, Sadaqa and Sadaqa Jariya first. we will bring kaffara, fidya and zakatul fitr to the front during Ramadan
Zakat-ul-Fitr is a small obligatory charity given by every Muslim at the end of Ramadan, before the Eid prayer. It purifies the fast from any shortcomings and ensures that no one in our community goes without food on Eid day. Your donation provides meals and food packages to families in need, so they can celebrate together with joy and dignity. Give on behalf of yourself and every member of your household.
Kaffara is the expiation prescribed in Islam for intentionally breaking a fast or an oath. For a deliberately broken fast, it is fulfilled by feeding 60 people in need (or fasting 60 consecutive days if you are able). For a broken oath, it is feeding 10 people in need. We provide the meals on your behalf and ensure the full number of people is fed.
– Broken fast: $600 (feeds 60 people)
– Broken oath: $100 (feeds 10 people)
Fidya is the compensation paid by those who cannot fast due to chronic illness, old age, or other lasting circumstances. It is given by feeding one person in need for each missed day. Your Fidya provides nutritious meals to hungry families, fulfilling your obligation while bringing comfort to others. Pay your fidya with ERD today!
– $10 per day
– $300 for a full 30 days of Ramadan
