The Islamic calendar, based on the lunar cycle, results in Ramadan beginning approximately 10 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar. For 2025, the holy month of Ramadan is expected to start between 28th of February and 1st of March, depending on the sighting of the moon in local regions. Lasting 29 or 30 days, Ramadan will conclude around 30th of March 2025, with Eid al-Fitr celebrations taking place thereafter.
Ramadan is a month of fasting, prayer, and charity, observed by millions of Muslims worldwide. It is a time for spiritual growth, increased devotion, and a time for communities to come together. The fast, which entails abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs during daylight hours, is not just a physical challenge but a spiritual journey that strengthens one’s relationship with Allah (SWT).
In addition to fasting, Ramadan encourages Muslims to engage in acts of kindness, compassion, and generosity. This is where the role of charity becomes vital. And at Al-Ayn Social Care Foundation, we’re dedicated to making a difference in the lives of orphaned children in need, especially during this sacred time.
During the holy month of Ramadan, one night stands out as truly extraordinary: Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power). Described in the Qur’an as “better than a thousand months” (97:3), good deeds performed on this single night carry the rewards of a lifetime of worship. Laylatul Qadr is the night when the Qur’an was first revealed, and some hadith indicate that the fate of every believing person for the coming year is decreed on this night.
According to Hadith, Laylatul Qadr falls on the 19th, 21st, or 23rd night. Greater emphasis is placed on the 21st and 23rd nights, with particular importance given to the 23rd. In 2025, these blessed nights are expected to fall between 22nd and 24th March, depending on the lunar calendar.
Ramadan is considered one of the best times to give Sadaqa, Sadaqa Jariya, Khums, Zakat, and Fidya. Donations made during this holy month are magnified in their rewards, making it a prime opportunity to fulfill your religious obligations while contributing to meaningful causes. By donating in Ramadan, you not only purify your wealth but also uplift vulnerable communities and earn immense blessings.
At Al-Ayn, your contributions help provide specialist care, long-term support, and immediate relief to orphaned children and their families. Whether it’s ensuring access to education, healthcare, or psychological rehabilitation, your donations leave a lasting legacy of kindness and transformation.
Al-Ayn is honored to have the support and endorsement of Al-Sayyid Al-Sistani, who has granted us an Ijaza (authorization) to accept religious dues such as Sadaqa, Khums, and Zakat. This sacred trust enables us to serve orphaned children with your contributions, ensuring your religious obligations are fulfilled with confidence. The full ijaza from his eminence can be read on www.sistani.org/english/social-service/1419/
