Ramadan will be upon us before we know it, so come along and make the intention to have the best Ramadan this year.

THE CAUSE

Food is the essential ingredient of life, and yet one in nine people do not have enough food to live a healthy life. Blessed Ramadan will help Human Appeal continue to eradicate global hunger:

In Syria, we’re supplying tonnes of flour to help war-affected families who cannot get access to bread. In drought-affected parts of Pakistan, we’re helping farmers grow crops once again, and in Somalia, we’re delivering emergency food and water supplies. In Bangladesh, we’re providing clean water and sanitation for thousands of people and in Niger, we’re giving some of the world’s poorest people a chance of better nutrition and healthcare.

Give the gift of life this Ramadan. Give food, give hope, and join us for a truly Blessed Ramadan.

Sheikh Saad Tasleem

From punk rock star to streetwise Sheikh, Saad Tasleem swapped his skateboard for sacred knowledge but still rocks with the younger generation. He studied art, design and psychology at the University of Maryland and then turned his life around, graduating from the Faculty of Shariah at the University of Madinah. He is now an instructor and will be speaking on how to detach from worldly distractions and make this your best Ramadan ever.
