Ways to Donate in Ramadan
People donate in Ramadan for many reasons: to fulfil obligations, support urgent needs, and increase good deeds in the last 10 nights.
Last 10 nights
Maximise the last 10 nights
The last 10 nights of Ramadan are when many people increase worship and charity, seeking Laylatul Qadr, a night of immense reward. A simple way to stay consistent is to give nightly (especially on the odd nights), even if it’s a small amount.
