Afghanistan Emergency

Be a Lifeline for Afghanistan.

On 31st August 2025, a powerful 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck Afghanistan, claiming 800 lives and injuring over 2,500 people, with many more trapped under rubble. Amid flooding and chaos, families have lost homes, possessions, and hope.

Penny Appeal teams are on the ground, delivering food, clean water, medical aid, and essential support to those most vulnerable, especially children.

As the death toll rises, the need for urgent action grows. Your support can provide life-saving relief and bring hope to families devastated beyond imagination. Stand with our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan – donate now to make an immediate difference.

Kindness That Rebuilds Lives

What did the Prophet (ﷺ) say about orphans? As Muslims, we have a sacred duty to care for orphans. Showing compassion and kindness towards orphans is one of the most blessed ways to honour Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). The Holy Qur’an emphasises the importance of protecting and supporting vulnerable children. The Prophet ﷺ said: “The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this,” holding his two fingers together to illustrate.

Thanks to your generosity, hundreds of families affected by the recent earthquakes in western Afghanistan have received lifesaving support-food, blankets, warm clothing, and essential household items-helping restore hope and dignity amid crisis. Your kindness continues to provide a lifeline, turning hardship into a chance to rebuild and thrive.

“So, surely with hardship comes ease… turn to your Lord alone with hope.” — Qur’an 94:5-8

Jazak’Allah, for making a real difference in the lives of orphans and disaster-affected families.
