Food Packs Distribution
Hunger is a major problem affecting hundreds of millions across the world. Even where famine is not the immediate cause, the grinding poverty that characterises many parts of the world leads to malnutrition, illness, and in the worst cases, death.
Most people who battle hunger deal with chronic undernourishment and vitamin or mineral deficiencies, which result in stunted growth, weakness and heightened susceptibility to illness.
Countries in which a large portion of the population battles hunger are usually poor and lack the social safety nets we enjoy, such as soup kitchens, food stamps, and job training programmes. When a family cannot grow enough food or earn enough money to buy food, there is nowhere to turn for help.
Madrasah Zeenatul Quran issue emergency food packages which are composed of a variety of staple foodstuffs which cover the major food groups. These are usually distributed in areas which are in need of emergency relief as well as in abnormally poor areas.
To help you follow in the Prophet's footsteps, Madrasah Zeenatul Quran is giving you the chance to provide basic food to poor families in India, Palestine, Yemen, Syrian Refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon, and Africa this year.
It is not becoming of a Muslim to sleep on a full stomach whilst those around him (his neighbours) go hungry.

Widows Support
Abdullah bin Abbaas Radiyallahu ‘anhu said:
‘For me to fulfil the necessities of a Muslim family for a month or for a week or for whatever period of time that Allah pleases, is more beloved to me than performing Hajj after Hajj. Buying a utensil for even a Daaniq (one-sixth of a dirham) and giving it to my brother as a gift for the pleasure of Allah is more beloved to me than spending a Dinaar in the path of Allah.’ [Abu Nu’aym]
It is very difficult for widows to financially support themselves if they have children to look after. This problem is aggravated in countries which do not offer any support to them. By sponsoring a widow and her children, you can ameliorate their difficulties by covering their basic needs.
The Islamic ruling is that after the husband, the responsibility of her assistance and maintenance falls on the son(s), father, and brother(s) respectively. Failing that, the responsibility falls on the community around her. Failing that, the responsibility is on the Muslims as a whole.
Zakah, Sadaqah and Lillah can be given for this project.

Orphan Sponsorship
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is reported to have said, “The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” and he held his two fingers together to illustrate. (Sahih al-Bukhari).
Innocent children become orphans by no fault of their own. Living without choices and struggling for survival, they require the hand of love and affection to support them.
Madrasah Zeenatul Quran's one-to-one orphan sponsorship programme supports orphaned and vulnerable children by providing them with healthcare, education, accommodation and food.
You can sponsor an orphan in a choice of several countries where you will be provided with a photograph and an annual progress update of how your orphan or child is performing in terms of their education and healthcare.
