Winter Emergency Appeal

When Umar ibn al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) led the Muslims, they met new people and places, facing the cold winters far from the Arabian lands. They felt the deep cold in countries like Syria, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, China, Mongolia, and parts of Afghanistan and India. Umar (May Allah be pleased with him) would write to all his leaders, sharing this important advice:

“Winter, a tough enemy, has arrived. Get ready with wool, leather, socks, and blankets. Wear wool close to your body and leather on the outside, because cold is a foe that comes fast and leaves slow.”

Following Umar’s (May Allah be pleased with him) advice, Dabbagh Welfare Trust is starting its Winter Emergency Appeal. We ask you to donate what you can to our winter drive to help keep the needy warm in these harsh times.

Tell me more »

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Dabbagh Welfare Trust to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Dabbagh Welfare Trust will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Dabbagh Welfare Trust receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Our Winter Vs Winter of the Poor & the Needy

When winter comes, many of us in the West get ready by making our homes cosy, ensuring there’s hot water, warm clothes, and plenty of food. But it’s easy to overlook that there are countless families in the Ummah who won’t enjoy these comforts this cold season. In every crisis, whether from conflict, disaster, or the chill of winter, it’s often the women, children, the old, and the disabled who suffer the most.

Those in poverty or living in refugee camps lack the extra clothing needed to fight off the winter’s bite. Without warm wear, heaters, or blankets, many fall sick, and sadly, some lose their lives to the cold.

Your donation to the Dabbagh Welfare Trust’s Winter Emergency Appeal can bring essential warmth to these families. This winter, your gift of a winter pack could save lives.

Poverty, Homelessness, and Winter

Most of us won’t know how it feels to be a refugee or homeless.

We thank Allah سبحانه و تعالى for blessing us with a house.

A house where we…

  • praise Allah سبحانه و تعالى for all His blessings
  • spend time with our family
  • create memories
  • relax, have fun
  • and most importantly stay safe from the harshness of weather in summer and winter

Unfortunately, for over 150 million around the world, there is no place called ‘a house’. They live in shelters made with Tarpaulin (Tarpal), plastic sheets, or mud. These shelters provide no protection from extreme weather, especially in winter. Help save lives and donate to Winter Emergency Appeal. By donating to our winter appeal you will help us provide winter clothes, blankets, and heating fuel for the poor families in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Syria, Bangladesh, Gaza, and the UK.

Save Lives this Winter

People living in poverty and in temporary accommodations feel the sharp end of winter. A lack of food, clothing, fuel, and shelter makes it extremely difficult for them to protect themselves and their loved ones from the harshness of winter.

A very sad reality for millions of people this winter

  • There are over 1.6 billion people living in temporary shelters
  • Around the world, there are over 150 million people who do not have a home
  • Over 26 million people are refugees and living in camps
  • Over 45 million are displaced within their own country

We know we are not big enough to help millions but with your generous support, we can still help thousands. Donate generously for our winter appeal and save the poor and needy from the harshness of winter.
