Sha’ban is the eighth month of the Islamic calendar, a sacred bridge between ordinary time and Ramadan.
It is the month when deeds are raised to Allah, when hearts prepare, and when acts of charity carry multiplied reward.
But while many prepare for Ramadan with intention and reflection, families in Gaza are preparing for another night without food.
Hunger does not pause for holy months.
And Gaza cannot wait for Ramadan to be fed.
After months of hardship, displacement, and loss, thousands of families in Gaza are still struggling to meet their most basic need: a warm meal.
Parents skip meals so their children can eat.
Children go to sleep hungry.
Families survive day to day, unsure when food will come again.
In a month meant for purification and generosity, their suffering continues.
❝ “The best of people are those who bring the most benefit to others.” — Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Sha’ban is often overlooked, yet it holds immense spiritual value.
The Prophet ﷺ increased his fasting and acts of worship during this month. Scholars remind us that Sha’ban is a time to cleanse the soul and increase charity, preparing the heart for Ramadan.
Giving in Sha’ban is not only preparation; it is mercy in action.
🕊️ Give your Sadaqah in Sha’ban. Feed Gaza. Prepare your heart for Ramadan.
