After over a decade of war, Syria remains one of the most fragile and suffering regions in the world. The conflict has displaced millions, decimated infrastructure, and pushed more than 90% of the population below the poverty line. Entire families live in makeshift shelters, without stable access to food, water, or medical care. Today, over 12 million Syrians face food insecurity, and 6.8 million are internally displaced — caught in a relentless cycle of loss and survival.

In Ramadan, a month meant for reflection, family, and fasting, the hardship of hunger becomes even more painful for those without enough to eat. For many in Syria, the simple act of breaking a fast with dignity is a luxury they can no longer afford.

Through the Dukhni Amal Project, we had the honor of supporting Islamic Relief UK’s Bilad Al Shaam Ramadan Food Programme 2025 — a vital initiative that delivered life-saving food assistance to some of the most vulnerable families in Aleppo (Azaz district) and Idleb (Harim and Idleb districts) — areas deeply affected by years of violence and instability.

Through this collaboration, over 650 families — nearly 3,250 individuals — received Ramadan food packs. Each parcel, weighing over 52kg, was carefully curated to nourish a family of five for the month. It included:

• 15kg Rice
  
• 10kg Wheat Flour
  
• 8L Sunflower Oil
  
• 8kg Sugar
  
• 2kg Red Lentils
  
• 2kg Green Lentils
  
• Spaghetti, Tomato Paste, Margarine, Salt, and Dates
  

These weren’t just ingredients — they were lifelines. One mother, displaced from Aleppo, said: “Without this food, I don’t know how we would have broken our fasts. It brought light to our home. It felt like we were remembered.”

At Dukhni, we believe in more than just scent — we believe in amal, or hope. The Dukhni Amal Project is our commitment to meaningful, ongoing support for vulnerable Muslim communities across the world.

As the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: "The best of you are those who feed others." (Musnad Ahmad)

This hadith reminds us that generosity is not measured by amount, but by intention and action. Every contribution, every shared meal, and every effort to ease someone else’s hardship is beloved in the sight of Allah (SWT).

We are deeply grateful to Islamic Relief UK for their tireless work and honored to support this cause. May our small acts of mercy continue to make a lasting difference, and may Allah accept our intentions and bless every home with comfort and provision.

Together, let us continue to bring light, dignity, and remembrance to the lives of those who need it most.
