How to Donate to Gaza

It has been tough seeing images and videos of the ongoing sufferings and injustices faced by the people in Gaza. Over one million individuals, which accounts for nearly half of Gaza's total population, have been forced to leave their homes. They require immediate humanitarian aid as they face challenges accessing clean water, food, healthcare, and sanitation.

Allah s.w.t. says in the Quran,

أَمَّنْ يُجِيْبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوْءَ

“Is it not He Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls on Him, and Who removes the evil.”

(Surah An-Naml, 27:62)

Read The Power of Dua in Islam.

As Muslims, we should show solidarity towards those who are in dire situations. Amongst others, we can contribute collectively in the form of making Dua. We can recite Dua Qunut Nazilah, specifically for the Palestinians and to all victims of unfortunate events around the world.

Read: Dua Qunut Nazilah.

Here is the translation of the Dua Qunut Nazilah:

Let us include them in our prayers in hopes that Allah s.w.t. grants them relief, peace, and security.

Beyond continuously making Dua for the vulnerable, we can also look for ways to provide humanitarian support, especially by means of legitimate charity foundations.
