Ramadan and Solidarity: Give Your Items to Those in Need
The month of Ramadan is a special time of spirituality, sharing and solidarity. In Morocco, this sacred period strengthens bonds between citizens and invites everyone to think of those in need. What if this year, in addition to fasting and prayer, you gave your items to those who need them through AlKaram?
Sadaqa: a pillar of Ramadan
In Islam, sadaqa (voluntary charity) is an act of devotion strongly encouraged, especially during Ramadan. Unlike zakat which is obligatory and calculated on wealth, sadaqa can take many forms: a smile, a service rendered, or the gift of a useful item. Giving furniture, clothes or appliances to a family in need is a concrete and impactful form of sadaqa. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The best charity is that given during Ramadan."
Why give during Ramadan?
Ramadan is the month when the rewards of good deeds are multiplied. Every gesture of generosity counts more. By donating your items on AlKaram during this blessed period, you combine the act of solidarity with the spiritual dimension of the sacred month. It is also the time when many Moroccan families prepare their homes to welcome family and loved ones. A sofa, a table, dishes: these donations can transform Ramadan for an underprivileged family.
What to give during Ramadan?
All useful items are welcome. The most sought-after during Ramadan in Morocco are kitchen utensils (tajines, pots, trays for ftour), dishes and glasses, tables and chairs to welcome guests, clean clothes in good condition for Eid, prayer rugs, and household appliances like blenders and ovens. On AlKaram, every donation quickly finds a grateful receiver.
How to give with AlKaram during Ramadan?
The process is the same as usual, but with a reinforced solidarity dimension. Take your photos, write your listing and publish it on AlKaram. You can mention in the description that it is a Ramadan donation to reach people specifically seeking help during this period. The AlKaram community is particularly active and generous during the sacred month.
The spirit of Ramadan with AlKaram
AlKaram naturally embodies the values of Ramadan: generosity, mutual aid and sharing. The very name of the app — الكرم (generosity) — reflects this commitment. By using AlKaram, you are not just making a material donation: you are weaving bonds of solidarity between Moroccans and perpetuating Islamic values of compassion and sharing.
Make a difference this Ramadan
This Ramadan, go beyond fasting. Open your closets, look around you and identify items that could change another family's daily life. Post them on AlKaram and experience a Ramadan of authentic solidarity. Every item donated is a sadaqa that counts. Ramadan Mubarak!
