Ramadan in Darkness: Abdul’s Story

Abdul has never seen his daughter smile- but you can change that.

For 10 years, Abdul has lived in darkness. Blind from cataracts, he has never seen the faces of his loved ones, never witnessed the joy in his daughter’s smile. This Ramadan, while others turn the pages of the Quran with ease, he longs to do the same. But his blindness makes it impossible.

Instead of walking to the masjid for Taraweeh, he sits at home, relying on the voices of others to feel connected to his faith. Instead of preparing his own Iftar, he waits for someone to bring him food. Every aspect of his life depends on the kindness of others.

But your kindness can set him free.

A simple cataract surgery—one that takes just 15 minutes—can restore his sight. With £125 of your Zakat, Abdul can regain his independence. He can read the Quran with his own eyes, step into the masjid without guidance, and finally see the faces of those he loves.

This Ramadan, as you seek Allah’s mercy and blessings, be the reason someone like Abdul sees the world again.
