Supporting Our Ummah: Ramadan Food Pack (Sembako) Programs
During the blessed month of Ramadan, the spirit of giving and compassion fills the hearts of Muslims around the world. At Sedekahsg, our mission is to spread the joy and blessings of this holy month by reaching out to our Muslim brothers and sisters in need, ensuring they experience a Ramadan filled with ease, sustenance, and hope.
What Are Ramadan Food Packs (Sembako)?
Millions of people in Asia struggle with food insecurity, unable to access the basic nutrition required for a healthy life. To alleviate this hardship, our Ramadan Food Pack (Sembako) Program provides essential food supplies to families during the month of Ramadan. Each pack is designed to meet the fundamental needs of a family, enabling them to focus on their ibadah (worship) without the added stress of food scarcity.
Contents of Our Ramadan Food Packs
Each food pack, valued at SGD 50, includes staple items essential for nourishment and meal preparation:
- Flour and Rice
- Dates and Cooking Oil
- Potatoes and Onions
- Salt, Sugar, Spices, and Sauce
- Canned fish
Note: The exact contents of the food packs may vary depending on the local dietary needs and availability of items in each country. The pack listed above is based on distributions in Indonesia.
The Significance of Ramadan
Ramadan is a sacred month filled with mercy, reflection, and acts of kindness. It is a time when every good deed is multiplied, making sedekah (sadaqah) even more rewarding. Providing food to the less fortunate is an immense act of brotherhood and compassion that aligns with the teachings of Islam. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) said, "Whoever gives iftar to a fasting person will have a reward like theirs, without detracting from their reward in the slightest."
Our Commitment During Ramadan
– We begin preparations one month before Ramadan, identifying the communities and individuals most in need, starting with Hafiz students and their families.
– Our teams coordinate with partner institutions to organize iftar and suhoor events, ensuring that even those in remote areas can share in the joy of breaking their fast with a nourishing meal.
– We review past initiatives to build on our successes and extend our reach to more people each year.
1 Iftar and 1 Suhoor for 50 Hafiz students: SGD 150
1 Iftar and 1 Suhoor for 100 Hafiz students: SGD 250
The Power of Your Contribution
Providing a meal to someone fasting during Ramadan is not just an act of sedekah; it is an act that brings barakah (blessing) to both the giver and receiver. Your support helps us bring nourishment and joy to countless families who otherwise face hunger during this sacred month.
As the month of Ramadan approaches, we invite you to be part of this noble effort. Whether through sponsoring a food pack or contributing towards iftar and suhoor for Hafiz students, your involvement is a source of hope and relief for those who need it most.
The dua Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) recited before breaking his fast:
اللَّهُمَّ اِنِّى لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ امنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ اَفْطَرْتُ
