Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (Sawm) to commemorate the first of a series of revelations of the Qur’an to Prophet Muhammad.  

Zakat, which means, ‘to purify’, is the obligatory donation of a proportion of wealth to the poor (2.5% of annual income) in order to cleanse a person’s income and live a good and responsible life. Many people choose Ramadan as the month in which they pay Zakat, as Ramadan is the month of blessings and the rewards for all good deeds is far greater in this blessed month. Fasting during Ramadan, and Zakat are two of the five pillars of Islam.

Through the foundation, Dr. Hamdulay and his team has helped 263 patients have bypass surgeries, angioplasties and angiographies. They have also given cardiac check-ups to 859 people. This year, they want to reach many more people and give them timely, life-saving treatment.

Yes we can connect donors to patients (beneficiaries) upon request. Should you wish to connect with a beneficiary, kindly send a mail to Afzal Khan at info@hhfoundation.com with your specific request.

The money will go to the truly needy candidates, each of whom are Mustahiq-e-Zakat and in need of urgent medical attention for their cardiac condition. These needy patients will be selected by Hamdulay Heart Foundation.

The Zakat fund will be utilised for cardiac treatment such as Bypass Surgeries, Heart Valve Replacement Surgeries, Angioplasties & Angiographies of Poor Heart Patients. Hamdulay Heart Foundation receives requests from individual patients or recommendations from past beneficiaries, members and other organisations on a continuous basis.

The first step in selecting a beneficiary of the Zakat funds is during a discussion with patients who claim to be a Mustahiq-e-Zakat. As Islam promotes trust, the person is first taken up as a potential beneficiary until further verification is conducted regarding the applicant’s financial condition. Once eligibility has been verified, the applicant must fill in an application form provided by HHF, which includes details such as photo id proof, residential proof, income certificate, latest photograph and signature of the applicant.

With this process, HHF attempts to find a worthy eligible beneficiary for your Zakat funds with a good degree of authenticity. For the rest, only Allah knows the best.

No. All the funds will be transferred directly to Hamdulay Foundation - so you can be sure that 100% of your Zakat goes to the needy.
