Notes
  1. 1) Your khums due date is the first day you started your job or business. If you are retired or not in employment, then you can agree a khums due date with a representative of the marja'a, or calculate separate khums years for each profit that you make, from the date you made that profit.
  2. 2) The khums of commercial commodities and real estate(s) which are intended for trading, should be paid in accordance with their current market value, even if they were bought with profits which a year has elapsed on, unless the price at which they were bought is higher than the current value.
  3. 3) If the calculations show that the amount of khums due is negative as a result of sustenance debts, then the amount of the sustenance debt equivalent to the amount of khums due for the rest of the item is calculated and excluded.
  4. 4) If sustenance debts are fully repaid in the financial year, this amount is excluded from the profits.
  5. 5) Possessions which are not subject to khums are:
    1. a. Possessions owned through inheritance:

Verily, with hardship comes ease

01 July 2024

As we approach the sacred month of Muharram, we are reminded of the profound lessons of perseverance and sacrifice embedded in Islamic history. 

This Muharram we invite you to support our campaign, “Verily, with Hardship Comes Ease.” Our campaign takes its name from Surah 94:5 of the Holy Quran. This verse underpins our mission to provide hope and comfort to orphaned children who have endured hardships and difficulties after losing one or both of their parents.

Our campaign is designed to bring comfort, support and relief to orphaned children and their families across Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ghana.

Why Muharram is a time for giving

Muharram holds a special place in the hearts of millions, marking the event of Karbala, where Imam Husain (AS) and his family made the ultimate sacrifice.

Ashura is also a time that led many young children to become orphaned. As we remember the orphaned children from Imam Husain’s (AS) family, we turn our attention to present-day orphaned children who are reeling from war, displacement and the loss of one or both parents.

Verily, with hardship comes ease

Our campaign aims to harness the collective spirit of Muharram to provide essential aid to those in dire need.  The funds raised during this period will help crucial support to families torn by loss and instability. 

Your contributions work in two ways:

  • Provides immediate relief and urgent support.
  • Facilitates long-term rehabilitation and growth.

And you can help in two ways.

Private sponsorships

We are pleased to announce our private sponsorship provisions have been extended from Iraq to Afghanistan and Ghana.

A monthly $105 or yearly $1260 sponsorship (per orphaned child) helps us fulfil their basic needs and can help facilitate access to:

  • Healthcare 
  • Financial aid
  • Safe housing 
  • Educational support
  • Psychological rehabilitation and more.

We assess an orphaned child and their family to determine their needs. This needs assessment is carried out every six months to ensure the aid provided is fit for purpose.

A reassessment may find that a child needs more, less or no aid at all–the latter thanks to your monthly contributions that pave a child’s way to self-sustainability.

As a result, every penny of the monthly stipend is used responsibly.

The Orphaned Children’s Fund

We welcome every donation, big or small, recurring or one-off, to our Orphaned Children’s Fund.

When you donate to the Fund, you contribute to a pool of resources that offers versatile and immediate support to orphaned children and their families.

For illustrative purposes, here’s how your funds are used:

  • $115: Provides financial aid to a child for one month.
  • $200: Covers the urgent needs of an orphaned child, such as support for safe housing and medication for one month.
  • $300: Covers a widowed mother’s urgent needs, including medical and legal fees for one month.
  • $30 (recurring): Allows our global teams the flexibility to help support orphaned children or widowed mothers with general urgent support.

Learn more about the Orphaned Children’s Fund.

How you can get involved

Joining our mission in Muharram is straightforward:

As we observe the solemnity of Muharram, let us also embrace the opportunity to aid those in need. Through your support, we can continue to offer hope and practical help to orphaned children and widowed mothers. 

Join us in making this Muharram a turning point for many – because verily, with hardship comes ease.
