Qurbani is the practice of sacrificing an animal, it commemorates the devotion and obedience that the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) showed to Allah (SWT) when it was revealed to him in a dream that he must make the ultimate sacrifice.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and we’re reflecting on this year’s theme, anxiety, and how we can address it through faith.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to The Rotary International Club of Dudley for their incredible £2,500 donation to our charity.

Penny Appeal was proud to join hands with Wakefield Cathedral yesterday during King Charles III's Coronation celebration, marking the occasion together with our Christian brothers and sisters, as well as friends of all faiths.

As our Eid celebrations draw to a close, we may find ourselves reflecting on our experience of Ramadan. For lots of us, Ramadan and Eid have been a time to appreciate what we have and give back to those who have less. We have spent time with family and loved ones as well as indulging in an array of enjoyable activities and foods.

Penny Appeal is addressing misinformation about our organisation spread on social media.

Over 200 people from different backgrounds came together last Sunday for a charity Iftar in partnership with Rochdale organisation, Army of Kindness.

We were thrilled to have been invited to co-host a corporate charity Iftar last week.

As we reflect on the 27th night of Ramadan, we must remember what a special night this is. Alhamdulillah, most scholars believe Laylatul Qadr – the Night of Power – to fall on the 27th Night of Ramadan. This is the night when the Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). It is a night of immense blessings, mercy, and forgiveness.

"Believers, if a troublemaker brings you news, check it first, in case you wrong others unwittingly and later regret what you have done." (Surah al-Hujarat, 49:6)

Ramadan is a time of peace and blessing across the Muslim world. However, for our brothers and sisters in Palestine, the holy month has been repeatedly marred by increased aggression.

The blessed month of Ramadan is racing on, and as we focus on spiritual rejuvenation, and reflection, I wanted to explore the opportunities this month offers to put our faith into action.
