As Ramadan arrives, the spirit of giving becomes even more prominent. The Holy Month is a time for reflection, self-discipline, and, most importantly, for extending kindness to others. The practice of giving, or Zakat, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, making it a deeply rooted tradition during Ramadan.
One of the most popular ways to give back during this sacred time is by gifting charity boxes filled with food to those in need. These thoughtful boxes provide families with the essential items needed for iftar, making it easier for them to break their fast and celebrate Ramadan.
Here’s where you can find a range of charity gift boxes this Ramadan in the UAE, offering you an easy way to make a direct impact on the lives of others.
