For those who give in Charity, men and women, and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan, it shall be increased manifold (to their credit), and they shall have (besides) a liberal reward. (The Holy Qur’an 57:18)
Sadaqah is a voluntary charity that brings Barakah and blessings to wealth and, when given sincerely for the sake of Allah (SWT), can even prolong life.
30 years ago, our founder Imran Khan set a powerful example when he donated his prize money from the 1992 Cricket World Cup to open a cancer hospital in Pakistan. Millions have since joined his mission, in the hope of reward from the Almighty.
Join them this Ramadan. Give a little Sadaqah and increase your Barakah blessings.
Give Sadaqah
This year, as Shaukat Khanum Hospitals celebrate 30 years of service, our founder is unable to make an appeal to mark this significant milestone. In his absence, we hope you will continue to support our patients with your Sadaqah, showing that we still stand together in the fight against cancer.
TYPES OF SADAQAH YOU CAN GIVE
Any good deed that helps another can be considered Sadaqah, whether it's a kind word or smile, or a monetary gift to help someone in need. Here are a few ways your Sadaqah can bring relief to patients at Shaukat Khanum Hospitals this Ramadan:
Feed a cancer patient
For 30 years, your Sadaqah has provided hospital meals for cancer patients on our wards. With long and costly journeys to our facilities, often in unfamiliar cities far from home, many of them arrive malnourished and lack the resources to meet their basic needs. This Ramadan, your Sadaqah can provide essential nutrients to help with their treatment and recovery. £5 provides two hospital meals for a day. £50 can feed a patient for 10 days. £150 will allow you to share your Iftar for the entire month.
Give Sadaqah for Food
Build Karachi Hospital
The countdown is on! This Ramadan, help us move a step closer to opening a new hospital in Karachi. With over 40% of the local population living on less than 80 pence a day, and 75% of those living in surrounding areas facing similar levels of deprivation, your Sadaqah this Ramadan will bring renewed hope to those most in need.

Hospital Running Costs
Your Sadaqah plays a vital role in purchasing essential equipment such as radiation therapy machines, chemotherapy drugs, and medical instruments for surgical procedures, as well as paying the salaries of specialist medical staff, security guards, cleaners, and others involved in the day-to-day care of patients. According to Shariah rulings, Zakat cannot be used for these expenses. So, please give generously this Ramadan.
GIVE SADAQAH WHERE NEEDED
DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN SADAQAH AND ZAKAT
Zakat and Sadaqah are both forms of charitable giving, but they differ in their obligations and uses.
Zakat is a mandatory payment on savings above a certain threshold, with a fixed percentage taken from one's surplus wealth. There are strict guidelines on how Zakat can be used, with the giver benefitting more than the receiver. Sadaqah, on the other hand, is voluntary and has no upper or lower limit. It can be given to a variety of causes, and it benefits both the giver and the receiver equally.
We understand that the best charity is often given in secret. Give Sadaqah anonymously online this Ramadan and let Allah (SWT) take care of the rest!
