Your Zakat has the power to eradicate hunger and thirst
Providing life-saving meals through Zakat
Here at Charity Meals, we understand just how important your Zakat donation is. It isn’t just an act of charity that is a virtuous act of worship. It is a sacred obligation for Muslims worldwide to help protect and uplift the spirits of the most vulnerable communities across the world. This type of charity has the power to purify your wealth, while offering a lifeline to orphans, widowed mothers, struggling families and the elderly who are all facing unimaginable poverty and hunger.
Why Zakat 2026 Matters
Zakat is a very important type of charity in Islam because it is one of the five pillars that Muslims must fulfil. This means that when you donate Zakat in 2026, you are giving a powerful form of charity that fulfils your religious obligation. Zakat also matters because its sole purpose is to provide every individual, regardless of their circumstances, has access to the basic necessities they need to live comfortably. It is a chance for all able Muslims to share their blessings with others as a way to acknowledge that their wealth is something that is given by Allah (SWT) and that it is meant to be distributed with compassion. It can help you to realise what you have in life and be grateful for what you have been blessed with, turning your attention away from materialistic possessions and focusing on what truly matters – your faith and devotion to Islam.

We have incredible appeals all over the world to help those most in need.

"Establish prayer and give zakat, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves—you will find it with Allah. Surely Allah sees what you do." (2:110)
What is Zakat?
The Zakat donation is a compulsory form of charity that all able Muslims must make because it is a religious duty that makes up one of the five pillars of Islam. It is an act of worship that has immense power that goes beyond prayer. Zakat showcases the spirit and importance of empathy in Islam and building a strong community of solidarity. By giving Zakat, you can contribute to helping the important mission of alleviating hunger, providing shelter and offering hope to those facing hardship and struggling to survive.
What is Zakat al-Fitr?
Zakat al-Fitr is a different type of Zakat that all Muslims must give. It is a donation that should be paid before the Eid prayer for those who have food in excess of their needs – over one ‘saa’ (3kg). This means that every Muslim in a household should pay this form of donation, including children. The aim of Zakat al-Fitr is to give those who are facing hunger a nourishing meal to include them in the celebrations of Eid al-Fitr. Usually, desperately vulnerable communities can’t join in the celebrations, which focuses on feasting together with family, friends and the community. This donation changes this and spreads the joy of Eid to everyone around the world.
The cost of this donation is equivalent to one ‘saa’ (3kg) of staple food items in your country, so in the UK Zakat al-Fitr is around £6 per person. You can give this to Charity Meals to provide hope to those who are in desperate need and provide them with the chance to join in with the celebrations.
