Qurbani&nbsp;&nbsp;also called Udhiyah&nbsp;&nbsp;is one of the most beloved acts of worship in Islam, performed on the days of Eid al-Adha (10th, 11th and 12th of Dhul Hijjah). The rulings come from the Sunnah of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. 
Below, our in-house scholar team has answered the questions Pakistani Muslims search most often about Qurbani&nbsp;in Pakistan.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h3 dir="ltr">Is Qurbani mandatory in Islam? Is Qurbani farz or wajib? 
&nbsp;</h3>

Qurbani is Wajib (obligatory) in the Hanafi school of thought, which is followed by the majority of Muslims in Pakistan. It is not Farz, and it is not simply Sunnah &nbsp;in the Hanafi position it sits between the two.

In the Shafi&#39;i, Maliki and Hanbali schools, Qurbani is Sunnah Muakkadah &nbsp;an emphasised Sunnah, strongly recommended but not strictly obligatory. The Prophet ﷺ himself never abandoned Qurbani in his lifetime.

For Pakistani households, the safest position is the one taught by the majority of local scholars: every adult, sane, resident Muslim who meets the Nisab threshold on the days of Eid al-Adha must offer Qurbani. Neglecting it without a valid excuse is sinful in the Hanafi school of thought.

&nbsp;

<h3 dir="ltr"> 
When should you stop cutting nails and hair before Qurbani? 
&nbsp;</h3>

If you intend to offer Qurbani, the Sunnah is to stop cutting your hair, nails and removing body hair from the sighting of the moon of Dhul Hijjah (1st Dhul Hijjah) until your Qurbani has been performed on the days of Eid.

This is based on the hadith of Umm Salama (RA): &quot;When the ten days of Dhul Hijjah begin and one of you intends to offer a sacrifice, let him not cut his hair or trim his nails.&quot; (Sahih Muslim, 1977)

 
Important points:

&bull; The restriction applies only to the person offering Qurbani &nbsp;not to spouses, children, or anyone else on whose behalf you may also be giving.

&bull; The Hanafi school considers this Mustahabb (recommended). The Shafi&#39;i and Hanbali schools consider cutting during this period Makruh (strongly disliked).

&bull; If you accidentally cut nails or hair during this period, there is no expiation (kaffarah) &nbsp;simply resume the practice.

&bull; The restriction ends the moment your Qurbani animal is slaughtered.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h3 dir="ltr"> 
Who pays for Qurbani? 
&nbsp;</h3>

Each adult Muslim who possesses Nisab pays for their own Qurbani. Qurbani is a personal financial obligation &nbsp;it does not transfer to the head of the household.

 
This means:

&bull; An adult son or daughter living in the family home, if they personally meet Nisab through salary, savings or gold, must pay for their own Qurbani.

&bull; A husband is not obligated to pay for his wife&#39;s Qurbani &nbsp;and vice versa.

&bull; Parents are not required to pay Qurbani for their minor children (Qurbani is not Wajib on the non-baligh).

&bull; A father or husband may voluntarily pay on behalf of family members &nbsp;this is rewarded as Nafil but doesn&#39;t fulfil their Wajib if they are independently eligible. 
&nbsp;

<a href="https://alkhidmat.org/donations/islamic-giving/qurbani/family-qurbani">&rarr;&nbsp; Book Qurbani for the whole family</a> 
&nbsp;

The common Pakistani practice of &quot;one Qurbani per household&quot; is cultural &nbsp;not Shariah. Where multiple adults in the home meet Nisab, each must give their own.

&nbsp;

<h3 dir="ltr"> 
Is Qurbani per person or per family? 
&nbsp;</h3>

Qurbani is per person, not per family. Every adult Muslim who possesses Nisab on the days of Eid al-Adha is individually obligated to offer one Qurbani &mdash; whether that is a goat, a sheep, one share of a cow, or one share of a camel.

If a household has four adults all above Nisab, four separate Qurbanis are required. They may be offered as four goats, four cow shares, one full cow split between them (covering 4 of the 7 shares), or any combination.

This is one of the most misunderstood rulings in Pakistan. Cultural practice often defaults to &quot;the family&#39;s Qurbani&quot; &nbsp;but the obligation is individual, not collective.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h3 dir="ltr"> 
How many shares are in a cow for Qurbani? 
&nbsp;</h3>

A cow has 7 Qurbani shares (hissay), and a camel also has 7 shares. Each share counts as one full Qurbani for one person. Goats and sheep are a single Qurbani each&nbsp;&nbsp;they cannot be divided into shares.

 
Conditions for sharing a cow or camel:

&bull; All 7 participants must intend Qurbani &nbsp;even if one participant intends only meat-distribution (without niyyah of Qurbani), the Qurbani of the others becomes invalid.

&bull; Each share holder must own their share before slaughter.

&bull; The meat is divided equally &nbsp;usually by weight, not by cut. 
&nbsp;

<a href="https://alkhidmat.org/donations/islamic-giving/qurbani?utm_source=search&amp;utm_medium=google&amp;utm_campaign=qurbani&amp;utm_id=ak&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=22576969578&amp;gbraid=0AAAAA-9J5A2i63tbsyq7QiY3rOSp0atW8&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwwpDQBhAuEiwAa-4WoxNwlzlOi_RHoL-e5hSuG_1HiOx0QW4xx5BUMxRpySFyhb02S4qpshoCg4sQAvD_BwE">&rarr;&nbsp; Book a cow share &mdash; PKR 25,000&nbsp;</a> 
&nbsp;

At Alkhidmat, one cow share is PKR 25,000 in Pakistan. We manage the partnership, slaughter, weighing and distribution on your behalf &nbsp;so a single-share donor receives the same Qurbani fulfilment as someone booking a full cow.

&nbsp;

<h3 dir="ltr"> 
Who should give Qurbani? 
&nbsp;</h3>

Qurbani becomes Wajib when all five conditions are met on the days of Eid al-Adha:

If you meet all five, one Qurbani per person is Wajib. Anything beyond that a second Qurbani in your own name, or one on behalf of a deceased parent &nbsp;is Nafil (voluntary), but carries great reward.

 
&bull; Muslim &mdash; Qurbani is an Islamic act of worship.

&bull; Adult (baligh) &mdash; having reached Islamic puberty.

&bull; Sane (aaqil) &mdash; of sound mind.

&bull; Resident &mdash; not a shar&#39;i musafir (a journey of ~48 miles / 78 km or more).

&bull; Owns wealth equal to or above Nisab &mdash; the same threshold as Zakat, calculated on cash, gold, silver, business stock and savings (excluding essential household items).

&nbsp;

<h3 dir="ltr"> 
Can I give Qurbani for my deceased&nbsp;parents? 
&nbsp;</h3>

Yes,&nbsp;&nbsp;Qurbani on behalf of a deceased parent is permitted and highly rewarded. It is offered as Nafil (voluntary) Qurbani and is considered Isaal-e-sawab (transferring the reward to the deceased).

 
Important points:

&bull; A Qurbani for a deceased person does not replace your own Wajib Qurbani &mdash; give yours first, then offer one in your parent&#39;s name.

&bull; If the deceased had specified Qurbani in their will (wasiyyah), then 100% of the meat must be given as Sadaqah &mdash; none may be kept by the family.

&bull; If they did not specify it in their will, you may distribute the meat as you choose (a third to the family, a third to relatives, a third to the poor).

&bull; The intention (niyyah) must be specified before slaughter: &quot;On behalf of my late father / mother&hellip;&quot; 
 
Alkhidmat accepts Qurbani in the name of deceased family members and provides a per donor receipt with their name on it.

&nbsp;

<h3 dir="ltr"> 
Camel Qurbani &mdash; is camel allowed? 
&nbsp;</h3>

Yes, camels are valid Qurbani animals. A camel must be at least 5 hijri years old at the time of slaughter and free from major defects (blindness, severe lameness, severe emaciation, or missing more than one third of an ear or tail).

Like cows, one camel equals 7 Qurbani shares&nbsp;seven adults can share one camel.

 
Animal age requirements:

&bull; Goat: minimum 1 hijri year.

&bull; Sheep: minimum 1 hijri year (a healthy, large 6-month-old sheep that looks one year old is also permitted in the Hanafi madhab).

&bull; Cow / buffalo: minimum 2 hijri years.

&bull; Camel: minimum 5 hijri years. 
&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.alkhidmat.org/donations/islamic-giving/qurbani">&rarr;&nbsp; View 2026 Qurbani rates</a> 
&nbsp;

At Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan, our 2026 Qurbani programme covers goats, sheep and cows &nbsp;these are the most efficient to procure, ration and distribute through our own cattle farm and field network. We do not currently offer a camel Qurbani option.

&nbsp;

<h3 dir="ltr"> 
Qurbani rules for husband and wife 
&nbsp;</h3>

A husband and wife are each individually responsible for their own Qurbani, provided each separately meets the Nisab threshold. Marriage does not combine their wealth or their religious obligations.

 
Specifically:

&bull; If both spouses meet Nisab &rarr; each must offer one Qurbani.

&bull; If only the husband meets Nisab &rarr; only he is obligated.

&bull; If only the wife meets Nisab (for example, through gold, mehr, or inherited wealth) &rarr; she is obligated, even if her husband is not.

&bull; A wife&#39;s gold jewellery counts towards her own Nisab &nbsp;not her husband&#39;s.

&bull; A husband may voluntarily pay for his wife&#39;s Qurbani as a gift; she may do the same for him. This is rewarded but doesn&#39;t change whose obligation it was originally. 
&nbsp;

Many Pakistani wives skip Qurbani in the belief that their husband&#39;s Qurbani covers them. This is not correct&nbsp;&mdash; if the wife independently meets Nisab, her Qurbani is her own duty

Tirah Valley, located in the rugged terrain of Khyber district, is one of Pakistan&rsquo;s most isolated areas. During winter, harsh weather often disrupts daily life. This year, however,&nbsp;severe snowfall and freezing winds have significantly worsened conditions, placing immense pressure on families already living in a challenging environment.

Blocked routes, prolonged cold, and uncertainty have brought daily routines to a halt, deepening hardship across the region. 
 
&nbsp;

<h2>Families Facing Severe Winter Hardship</h2>

 
As winter conditions intensified,&nbsp;families across Tirah Valley&nbsp;began facing severe winter hardship, including many who were&nbsp;stranded in vehicles for extended periods due to heavy snowfall and blocked roads. Prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures left households with limited access to food, warmth, and medical assistance

In such circumstances,&nbsp;timely humanitarian assistance becomes essential to protect lives and dignity. 
&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Disaster Management

Tirah Valley in Crisis: Battling Extreme Cold

<h2 data-end="608" data-start="557">After the Floods, a Crisis No One Talks About</h2>

<h2>&nbsp;</h2>

In Pakistan and among other developing nations, reside the unfortunate individuals who almost yearly face dire losses at the hands of Monsoon floods despite their limited ability to deal with natural hazards and climatic distress, all due to grave inattention by the government to basic infrastructure development, inadequate legislations for environmental protection irrespective of the regime, unstable economy with drastic variation in income consumption behavior and uncontrollable variability in weather. In the context of Pakistan with this high risk of natural calamities, our women are far more vulnerable to disasters particularly due to no or less control over ownership of resources as a result of their socially inferior position.

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) have released in recent reports that nearly 4 million people have been affected since late June, with over 1,000 deaths and hundreds of thousands of homes destroyed by the inundation. Although these figures unfortunately keep rising, we must note that among them are an estimated 1.5 million women of reproductive age, now surviving in makeshift shelters where sanitation and privacy are scarce and face issues like homelessness, lack of financial and nutritional provisions and no access to even the very basic modalities of healthcare.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<a href="https://alkhidmat.org/floods-in-pakistan"><img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/176120590868f9de9496ccc.jpg" style="width: 820px; height: 460px;" /></a>

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

As the entire nation grapples with the aftermath of the devastating floods of 2025, millions of displaced women face a massively overlooked emergency: the struggle to maintain hygiene and dignity in relief camps and submerged villages. They also go through extreme levels of hardship for protecting their family from health hazards, arranging medicine and meals often covering several miles to obtain water for cooking and washing purposes with oftentimes little choice but to sell their only asset; jewelry in order to somewhat stabilize the status of their disaster-stricken households. This results in progressive physical and mental health decline and the lack of available resources further aggravates it.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Women&rsquo;s needs are frequently ignored from health facilities during disasters, specially in those of reproductive age and unfortunately despite all sorts of modern advancements in technology; those who are menstruating, lactating and pregnant suffer more. While floods wash away homes, crops, and livelihoods, they also disrupt access to very basic health services and hygiene facilities. For women and girls, this creates unique risks; some of which can be summarized into:

&nbsp;

<h2>1. Compromised maternal and child health</h2>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

Many pregnant women have lost access to antenatal and postnatal care, with rural health centers damaged or unreachable. No healthcare setups to cater for their basic and advanced needs during term, delivery or post-partum.&nbsp;

High incidence of infections like hepatitis, UTIs and chorioamnionitis may complicate several pregnancies and gynecological exams and sterile birth is challenging.&nbsp;

Lactating mothers and infants suffer from limited financial, nutritional, pharmaceutical and vital health resources. Planned parenthood is increasingly out of reach in the current lack of essential tools and counselling services.

&nbsp;

<h2>2. Rising risk of different illnesses</h2>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

Stagnant water is fueling outbreaks of waterborne diseases such as diarrhoea, cholera, conjunctivitis, gastroenteritis, skin diseases, tick bites, lice and flea infestations, parasitic and non-parasitic infections.&nbsp;

Numerous cases of high-mortality febrile illnesses like malaria and dengue emerge. Communicable diseases like influenza, measles, tuberculosis as well as hepatitis A and E thrive in poor sanitation.&nbsp;

Impossibly high incidence of multitude of diseases outweighs treatability in the face of limited medications and supplies, aggravated by logistical turmoil and domestic financial crises.

&nbsp;

<h2>3. Menstrual and other hygiene crises</h2>

<div>&nbsp;</div>

Essential amenities for life such as clean water and safe shelter are not available. Without sanitary products or private toilets, many women are forced to wait until dusk or nightfall to relieve themselves outdoors in unsanitary locations.&nbsp;

This hazards exposing them involuntarily to snake and scorpion bites, insect-borne diseases, dermatological rashes, genitourinary infections and unfortunate but ever-looming incidents of physical and sexual harassment.

&nbsp;

 
Humanitarian data highlights that 44% of pregnant women in Pakistan are already anemic. With limited food, poor sanitation, and no privacy, the floods have pushed many into even more dangerous conditions. A mother in a relief camp near Multan described her ordeal;

<var>&ldquo;We have lost our homes and now we have lost our privacy too. Even soap or a sanitary pad feels like a luxury.&quot;</var>

&nbsp;

Recognising this urgent need, Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan, in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Punjab Health Department has taken action to protect the dignity of displaced women. Alkhidmat Foundation resolutely stands at the forefront of rehabilitation through continued disaster management campaigns and hones focus at the diverse issues faced by female flood victims nationwide where 5,000 Hygiene and Dignity Kits were officially handed over to the Director General Health Services Punjab for distribution in flood-affected districts. An officer representing Punjab Health Department comments.

<var>&ldquo;These kits will reach deserving women living in relief camps and remote flood-hit areas. Alkhidmat and WHO have stepped forward at a crucial time to support the government&rsquo;s response.&rdquo;</var>

 
 
While a WHO representative echoed this very sentiment in the words;

<var>&ldquo;Alkhidmat Foundation is always on the frontline of humanitarian response. That is why both the public and the government trust their efforts.&quot;</var>

 
 
The hygiene kit distribution campaign reflects a broader Alkhidmat&ndash;WHO commitment made to ensure we are safeguarding women&rsquo;s dignity and also improving public health standards in emergencies. It also underscores the importance of government partnerships in scaling support to reach the most vulnerable groups and individuals of the affectees and national population.

&nbsp;

Each kit includes 12 essential items such as:

&nbsp;

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Sanitary pads
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">

&nbsp;

 
Despite this ongoing campaign, we must note that aid workers stress that 5,000 kits are only just the beginning. This is proving to be a mere drop in the ocean with millions still affected and without any supplies. Therefore expanding hygiene and sanitation facilities as well as women&rsquo;s healthcare services will be crucial to preventing a secondary health crisis on top of the pre-existing list of endless damages. An affiliate health officer provides the following comment;

<var>&ldquo;The greatest challenge is for women who cannot move freely. These 5,000 hygiene kits, designed especially for women, will help restore dignity and reduce disease risks in the camps.&quot;</var>

&nbsp;

But the massive impact of Pakistan floods once again revealed that though disasters strike indiscriminately of gender, the burden of rehabilitation really hits women the hardest. Hygiene is not a luxury but a matter of human survival, basic health and personal dignity for each and every individual. Relief camps across Punjab and Sindh remain overcrowded, with families arriving daily. With damaged roads and limited access, delivering aid is a constant challenge that we are eager to overcome with the help of our donors and fellow citizens.

&nbsp;

 
Through our synergistic partnership with the World Health Organization and the Punjab Health Department, Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan keenly addresses this urgent crisis providing life-saving hygiene support to the thousands of displaced women and we reaffirm our commitment to stand right beside our community in their darkest hour.

Women’s Hygiene Crisis in the Wake of Pakistan’s 2025 Floods

<h1 data-end="239" data-start="174">Volunteers and Donors Recognized as True Heroes of Humanity</h1>

&nbsp;

Lahore, September 27, 2025 Alkhidmat Foundation organized a major relief event at Kasur Ganda Singh Wala, where refreshments were served to 2,000 affected individuals, lunch was arranged, and one-month food rations were distributed among flood-affected families.

&nbsp;

Speaking on the occasion, Secretary General of Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan,&nbsp;Syed Waqas Jafri, said that the River Sutlej had inundated several villages in Kasur, where Alkhidmat officials and volunteers played a vital role in rescuing the affected people and relocating them to safe areas. He added that tent villages were established at various locations in Punjab, where volunteers actively hosted and assisted displaced families.

&nbsp;

He stated:&nbsp;&ldquo;The volunteers who served tirelessly, both in the darkness of night and the light of day, and the donors who devoted their wealth for the cause, are all true heroes of humanity. Without these heroes, it would not have been possible for Alkhidmat to extend such wide-ranging services. We are grateful to them and pray to Almighty Allah for their immense reward.&quot;

&nbsp;

Mr. Jafri further said that with the floodwaters now receding, families would gradually rebuild their homes, reclaim their fertile lands, and return to normal life.&nbsp;&ldquo;Today, we are bidding farewell to these 2,000 families with one month food rations, essential supplies, and our prayers. Alkhidmat will continue to stand by them in every possible way during their rehabilitation journey,&rdquo;&nbsp;he added.

&nbsp;

The event was also attended by&nbsp;Muhammad Javed Kasuri, Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami Central Punjab,&nbsp;Ikramul Haq Subhani, President Alkhidmat Central Punjab, along with local officials.

&nbsp;

Highlighting the dedication of Alkhidmat volunteers across the country, Mr. Jafri noted:&nbsp;&ldquo;From Khyber to Karachi, Punjab, Azad Kashmir, and Gilgit, our volunteers have set new examples of service. In Buner, our volunteer Zahoor sacrificed his life while rescuing flood victims. Another volunteer, Ismail, was critically injured during relief activities and is currently on a ventilator, while Malik Hamid was severely injured while delivering food to affected areas. These are our real heroes, who continue to serve humanity without caring for their own lives.&rdquo;

Alkhidmat Delivers Food to 2,000 Flood Hit Families in Kasur

<h1 data-end="283" data-start="221">Nationwide Relief Operations Continue as Alkhidmat Reaches Thousands of Flood Victims</h1>

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Lahore, September 23, 2025&nbsp;Alkhidmat Foundation has so far spent&nbsp;Rs1.10 billion&nbsp;on relief and rehabilitation activities for flood-affected communities across Pakistan, said&nbsp;Prof. Dr. Hafeez ur Rehman, President of Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan, while presiding over a review meeting of the ongoing Flood Rescue and Relief Operation.

&nbsp;

CEO&nbsp;briefed participants on Alkhidmat&rsquo;s humanitarian efforts in 58 districts. Prof.&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Hafeez ur Rehman&nbsp;noted that in the first phase, only a few districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Azad Kashmir were affected. However, following cloudbursts, heavy rains, and river flooding after August 15, large parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and other regions came under severe impact.

&nbsp;

He added that within hours of the August 15 emergency meeting, Alkhidmat volunteers launched rescue operations that have now continued for more than 40 days. During this period,&nbsp;16,421 volunteers&nbsp;conducted&nbsp;2,161 emergency rescue operations&nbsp;using&nbsp;31 boats&nbsp;and&nbsp;130 machinery units, safely relocating&nbsp;38,606 people&nbsp;to safer places.

&nbsp;

So far, the foundation has distributed&nbsp;424,051 cooked food boxes&nbsp;and provided&nbsp;monthly ration packages to 44,695 families. Fifteen tent villages were established, accommodating&nbsp;16,327 individuals&nbsp;with access to food, clean water, healthcare, schooling, play areas for children, and in some cases mosques and libraries.

&nbsp;

In the health sector, Alkhidmat deployed&nbsp;eight mobile health units, set up&nbsp;767 medical camps, and operated&nbsp;60 ambulances, benefiting nearly&nbsp;200,000 patients and injured persons.

&nbsp;

Prof. Dr. Hafeez ur Rehman&nbsp;said that with local infrastructure, sewerage systems, and water supply lines destroyed in many areas, Alkhidmat&rsquo;s&nbsp;WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene)&nbsp;programme had distributed&nbsp;359,984 water bottles, 4,776 hygiene kits, 4,023 dignity kits, 811 water tanks, and 3,869 jerry cans. Twelve mobile filtration plants continue to provide clean drinking water to affected populations.

&nbsp;

He further added that beyond human needs, Alkhidmat also arranged fodder for livestock, supplying&nbsp;128 truckloads of feed&nbsp;in flood hit areas.

&nbsp;

The meeting was attended by&nbsp;Alkhidmat Secretary General Syed Waqas Jafri, Vice President Syed Ehsanullah Waqas, CEO Khubaib Bilal, Director Programmes Hammad Akhtar, Senior Manager Media Relations Shoaib Hashmi, Manager Disaster Management Asif Jamal,&nbsp;and other officials.

Alkhidmat Foundation Spends Rs1.10 Billion on Flood Relief and Rehabilitation Across Pakistan

<h1 dir="ltr">A Day That Shook a Nation</h1>

On the morning of 8th October 2005, life changed forever for millions of people in northern Pakistan and Azad Kashmir. At 8:50 a.m., a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck with terrifying force. Within minutes, thousands of homes, schools, and hospitals collapsed. Families were buried under rubble, children lost their classrooms, and entire towns like Balakot and Bagh were wiped out.

The human loss was heartbreaking:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	More than 74,000 people died.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Around 138,000 were injured.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Nearly 3 million people were left without homes.
	</li>
</ul>

Landslides blocked roads, villages were cut off, and freezing weather made survival even harder. It became one of the deadliest disasters in Pakistan&rsquo;s history.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">Why Was the Destruction So Severe?</h2>

The earthquake&rsquo;s epicenter was near Muzaffarabad in Azad Jammu &amp; Kashmir, about 15 km deep in the earth. The tremors lasted less than a minute, but poor building structures and the mountainous terrain turned it into a catastrophe.

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Schools and hospitals that were not quake-resistant collapsed immediately.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Rescue teams struggled to reach survivors as landslides buried roads.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Many people remained trapped for days without help, food, or medical care.
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">The World Responds</h2>

The scale of the disaster drew global attention. Pakistan declared an emergency, and help poured in from across the world. International agencies sent helicopters, medical teams, and relief goods. Donors funded the rebuilding of schools, hospitals, and bridges. But in those first few days, when every minute meant saving lives, it was local volunteers, civil society, and community groups who were the first to act.

&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">Alkhidmat Foundation&rsquo;s Response</h2>

Among those on the ground was Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan. With its network of volunteers, Alkhidmat quickly mobilized to provide:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Emergency relief and food packs for stranded families.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Temporary shelters and tents for displaced communities.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Medical support through mobile health units.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Volunteers who helped in search, rescue, and burial efforts.
	</li>
</ul>

For Alkhidmat, the 2005 earthquake was a turning point. It showed how vital it is to be prepared before disaster strikes, and it laid the foundation for the structured disaster management system the organization runs today.

&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">Lessons Learned</h2>

The tragedy taught Pakistan painful but important lessons:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Strong buildings save lives &ndash; earthquake-resistant schools and hospitals are no longer optional.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Preparedness matters &ndash; volunteer training, stockpiled relief, and local hubs can cut response times.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Community spirit is powerful &ndash; ordinary people, alongside groups like Alkhidmat, were the lifeline for thousands.
	</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

Every year,&nbsp;October 8th&nbsp;reminds us of both loss and resilience. It brings back the national tragedy of the&nbsp;2005 earthquake, reminding us of the children who never came home from school, and the scars left on millions of lives.

8th October 2005 Earthquake – Remembering Pakistan’s Darkest Morning

<h1 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h1>

The impact of climate emergencies in all acute manifestations of tragedy has struck Pakistan this summer turned monsoon of 2025. Not a single region or province has been spared from the devastation unleashed by torerntial rains, flash floods, cloudbursts and subsequent landsliding We see news on all broadcast media about how the death count simply keeps rising and how the water inundates yet another village, but do we actually know the real impact, its extent and hondeeply entrenched these ever rising numbers of casualties are in reality?

A study from Yale Public Health reveals that the health consequences of flooding are more extensive than previously thought. Besides immediate risks like injury and infectious diseases, flooding significantly increases the risk of death from heart disease, breathing problems, and mental health issues. Accidental deaths included those from falls, fractures, open wounds and drowning; while non-accidental deaths involved heart, stomach and lung problems, infections and mental disorders.

&nbsp;

In the wake of the recent devastating floods, Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan initiated a quick comprehensive and large-scale relief operation to provide immediate aid and support to the affected communities. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, AKF has mobilized significant resources and personnel to address the multifaceted needs of those impacted by the disaster.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">Latest flood update stats across Pakistan</h2>

<h2 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h2>

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa&nbsp;Flash floods have claimed 279 lives and damaged 2,113 homes, causing widespread displacement.

Sindh Torrential rains led to 42 deaths and severe damage to 87 houses, adding to the humanitarian crisis.

Balochistan 23 people have died, and 114 homes have been reported damaged as floodwaters ravage remote areas.

Gilgit-Baltistan With 45 fatalities and 998 homes affected, mountain communities are battling the harsh aftermath of glacial floods.

Azad Jammu and Kashmir: 23 lives lost and 1,081 houses damaged in rain-triggered landslides and flooding.Islamabad Capital Territory: 8 deaths and 65 house damages reported as urban flooding disrupts daily life.

Punjab 165 people have lost their lives, and 220 houses have been damaged in the devastating floods sweeping the province.

&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">At the front line</h2>

<h2 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h2>

As a prompt and necessary response to these recent fatal floods, Alkhidmat Foundation has launched an immediate, comprehensive relief operation that spans the entire country. Alkhidmat as the leading organization of large-scale emergency and disaster management in Pakistan recognized the criticalness of the situation to swiftly mobilize substantial resources, accessible aid and largest arsenal of trained volunteers. A fully-equipped Disaster Responder unit has been deployed, enabling the foundation to&nbsp;effectively manage and respond to urgent crises as they arise. This specialized unit is equipped to handle a range of emergencies, ensuring that the foundation can provide timely and effective assistance. Our efforts are focused on gathering and providing essential aid to all affected communities to address their diverse needs as soon as possible.

 
<img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/175672728068b587f03c8d9.jpg" style="width: 920px; height: 520px;" />

&nbsp;

A key component of this relief effort is the distribution of essential supplies to the hardest-hit areas. To this end, Alkhidmat Foundation has dispatched over 20 aid trucks, each carrying vital provisions (like food, shelter, water, medicines) to assist those who have lost their homes and livelihoods. This logistical undertaking is crucial in ensuring that basic necessities reach the affected populations promptly. In addition to providing essential supplies, the foundation is also prioritizing the delivery of emergency medical care. With over 20 ambulances actively deployed, Alkhidmat Foundation is providing critical medical services to those in need.

&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">Delving into details of the damage</h2>

<h2 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h2>

Weather patterns driven by climate change are causing more severe flooding around the globe increasing the risk of potentially life-threatening diarrhea among children under the age of five, particularly in Pakistani regions with lower income families which unfortunately make up the majority of our nation.

&nbsp;

Massive floods especially in the monsoon season create numerous health risks including drowning, injuries, and hypothermia during the event. In the aftermath, waterborne diseases (like cholera, dysentery and typhoid) and vector-borne diseases (such as endemic disease like malaria and dengue) can spread due to contaminated water and increased mosquito breeding grounds. Communicable skin diseases spread faster than they can be treated. Seepage and water logging in previously dry construction provided a proliferative breeding ground for black mold, which thrives exponentially in damp, humid crevices and can cause serious respiratory illnesses like pneumonia. Electrical hazards rise dramatically, along with fire incidents both inside homesinvolving switches, short circuits and appliances as well as outside on transformer cables and local grid stations.

&nbsp;

In the North Western province, the battle against poliovirus becomes yet another insurmountable challenge due to incomplete vaccination because of rising inaccessibility and damaged infrastructure. Tuberculosis rears its head in the aftermath of flood-stricken areas with crowded accomodations, communal shared rooms and inadequate sanitation The exacerbation of such diseases as well as pre-existing chronic conditions, potential malnutrition and starvation due to disrupted food and healthcare access makes way for mental health decline and PTSD. All these medical issues are further compounded by social aspects such as lack of stable income, household finances, insufficient rations and the dire absence of any occupational rehabilitating support from the national government, which conveniently ignores the aggravating situation at hand to focus on self-seeking promotions and tone-deaf advertisement. Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan&#39;s response to the floods demonstrates a strong commitment to humanitarian principles. By mobilizing a wide range of resources, including essential supplies, medical services, and trained personnel, the foundation is working to alleviate the suffering of those affected by the disaster. Underpinning the entire relief operation is the tireless dedication of hundreds of trained volunteers. These individuals are actively engaged in rescue and relief efforts, working diligently to provide support to affected families. Their commitment and expertise are essential in ensuring that aid reaches those who need it most and that the affected communities receive timely support in their hour of need.

&nbsp;

This is unfortunately not a situation where some superficial measures can undo the vast damage inflicted by flash floods, but rather it is an alarming situation that needs each and every one of us citizens to come together in rebuilding the very foundation of our society. In the wake of this massive climate catastrophe, there are no Pakistanis spared.

&nbsp;

The ongoing relief operation highlights the importance of coordinated efforts in times of crisis and underscores the vital role of humanitarian organizations in providing assistance and support to vulnerable populations. Even if you have not experienced or been exposed to the same level of grave loss as others in geographically-compromised areas of our country; you are simultaneously vulnerable to it all the same. So donate generously thinking of the plight of affectees and how you would want to be helped, had it been you in their place.

Let us all renew our intentions for charity and bring along the patriotic vigour and ingrained Pakistani compassion that we celebrate the day of Independence with every year

Pakistan Floods: A Factfile

<h3 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">Understanding Cloudbursts</h3>

A cloudburst is not just heavy rainfall it is an extreme downpour that releases an enormous volume of water in a very short span of time, often more than a month&rsquo;s worth of rain in a single hour. Unlike seasonal rains that build gradually, a cloudburst strikes suddenly, overwhelming everything in its path.

These events are most common in mountainous regions where warm, moisture-laden winds collide with cooler air, triggering intense and highly localized rainfall.

<h3 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">Why Cloudbursts Are More Dangerous than Regular Floods</h3>

Floods caused by seasonal rains or river overflow usually allow some time for warnings, preparations, and evacuations. Cloudbursts, however, arrive without notice. Their intensity creates flash floods, landslides, and urban inundation within minutes. Houses collapse, roads wash away, and entire villages can be cut off in an instant. The speed and ferocity of cloudbursts make them far more destructive than ordinary rain floods.

<h3 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h3>

<img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/175558562168a41c553b0b3.jpg" style="width: 780px; height: 420px;" />

&nbsp;

<h3 dir="ltr">Why Are Cloudbursts Happening More Frequently?</h3>

Until recently, the term &ldquo;cloudburst&rdquo; was rarely heard in Pakistan. Today, it has become a regular feature in news headlines. Several factors explain this:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Climate Change: A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, leading to sudden and extreme downpours.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Melting Glaciers: Rising temperatures increase water flow, amplifying the effect of sudden rains.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Urbanization and Deforestation: Natural water-absorbing landscapes have been replaced by concrete and barren land, intensifying flash flooding.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Improved Monitoring: With better meteorological tools and media coverage, more such incidents are recorded today than in the past.
	</li>
</ul>

<h3 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">Why Pakistan Is More Vulnerable</h3>

Pakistan&rsquo;s geography places it directly in harm&rsquo;s way. The northern mountains, where cloudbursts are most common, are home to fragile communities and limited infrastructure. Monsoon rains already carry high risk, but when combined with melting glaciers, unplanned urban growth, and weak drainage systems, the consequences become devastating.

From Gilgit-Baltistan to Azad Kashmir and from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to urban centers like Islamabad, Pakistan&rsquo;s terrain and climate make it one of the most disaster prone countries in the world.

<h3 dir="ltr">&nbsp;</h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">Safety and Preparedness</h3>

While cloudbursts cannot be prevented, communities can take steps to reduce the damage:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Stay informed about weather alerts during monsoon season.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Avoid building homes or setting up camps near riverbeds, slopes, or flood channels.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Keep an emergency kit with food, water, first aid, and flashlights.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Move quickly to higher ground if rainfall intensifies suddenly.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Encourage local schools, mosques, and community centers to prepare safety plans.
	</li>

&quot;Until October 7, 2023, 500 aid trucks entered Gaza daily. That was the lifeline of basic human survival. Today, that flow has nearly vanished.&quot; 
&mdash; Dr. Hafeez ur Rehman, President, Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan

&nbsp;

In a deeply personal update delivered on August 3, 2025, the President of Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan detailed the timeline of suffering, resilience, and response in Gaza since the war began in late 2023.

From October 7, 2023, to March 18, 2025, humanitarian aid into Gaza was reduced to only 100&ndash;125 trucks per day. On March 18, the situation worsened dramatically: a complete blockade was enforced. No aid trucks were allowed into Gaza for the next four and a half months.

Now, at the start of August, a limited reopening has occurred. With this narrow window, Alkhidmat Foundation, in collaboration with the Government of Pakistan and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), has taken immediate action.

On Sunday, August 3, 2025, Alkhidmat dispatched a humanitarian consignment carrying 100 tons of aid materials to Jordan, which will be forwarded to Gaza in cooperation with the Jordanian government. A second ship is scheduled to depart within 24 hours, bringing the total shipment to 200 tons in just two days.

These consignments contain ready to eat meals, baby milk, critical medicines, and hygiene supplies. If this pilot effort succeeds, Dr. Rehman confirmed that a new chartered plane will be sent weekly, depending on logistical permissions.

The aid may route through Jordan or Egypt&rsquo;s Al Arish port, depending on border access.

Alkhidmat&rsquo;s role in Gaza is not new. Until the March 18, 2025 blockade, the organization had already sent 21 humanitarian consignments and one chartered plane, delivering more than 4,000 tons of aid&nbsp;via trucks into Gaza.

Even during the strictest lockdown, Alkhidmat&rsquo;s nine local staff members in Gaza kept critical services running. They managed daily food procurement and distribution, cooking hot meals for thousands of families, despite inflated prices and severe risk.

We Stand with Gaza": Alkhidmat Foundation's President Shares Urgent Update Amid Gaza's Ongoing Siege

<h2 dir="ltr">Over 1,000 Stranded in the Mountains as Disaster Unfolds</h2>

&nbsp;

On the night of 22 July 2025, flash floods and landslides struck the high altitude region of Babusar Top, located in the Diamer District of Gilgit Baltistan. The intense rainfall caused road closures and triggered landslides that left more than 1,000 people stranded at over 13,000 feet above sea level. The NDMA issued an urgent appeal for immediate assistance as access to the region was cut off from both sides.

In response, Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan &nbsp;launched a joint relief operation in coordination with NDMA and the Commandant FCNA. Given the region&rsquo;s remote terrain and critical weather conditions, this operation tested the preparedness and agility of the relief network&nbsp; and Alkhidmat delivered.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">Alkhidmat&rsquo;s Swift Deployment on the Ground</h2>

&nbsp;

Recognizing the urgency, Alkhidmat activated its disaster response teams and dispatched both personnel and emergency vehicles. These included:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	1 Mobile Health Unit (MHU)
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	2 fully equipped ambulances
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	2 rescue bikes capable of navigating mountainous terrain
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Local trained volunteers from nearby Gilgit Baltistan units
	</li>
</ul>

These units reached the affected areas to assist in search, rescue, and immediate relief delivery&nbsp; even in zones inaccessible by larger vehicles.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">Relief Delivered: Food, Medical Aid, and Compassion</h2>

&nbsp;

Upon reaching stranded individuals, Alkhidmat teams prioritized life saving needs. In freezing temperatures and with no access to food, over 500 people were provided freshly cooked meals, prepared on emergency stoves brought in by volunteers. Additionally, 100 food packages containing dry rations were distributed to families awaiting evacuation or safe passage.

Medical teams accompanying the operation also treated cases of:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Dehydration and fatigue due to cold and lack of food
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Minor injuries sustained during landslides
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Altitude-related complications in elderly and children
	</li>
</ul>

The deployment of the Mobile Health Unit allowed emergency care to be provided directly on site, a crucial factor in preventing escalation of health risks.

&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">The Terrain: A Race Against Time</h2>

&nbsp;

Babusar Top, connecting Kaghan Valley with Chilas, is one of Pakistan&rsquo;s most scenic but hazardous routes especially during monsoon season. With sharp cliffs, narrow passes, and unpredictable weather, even a small landslide can isolate hundreds. In this case, multiple road collapses and continuous rain meant that conventional rescue operations were delayed increasing the urgency of immediate ground based support.

The success of Alkhidmat&rsquo;s initial response showcases the importance of localized, mobile, and community rooted rescue networks in such inaccessible zones.

Rescue at Babusar Top: Alkhidmat and NDMA Launch Joint Relief Operation After Flash Floods

<h1 data-end="218" data-start="149">Torrential Rains Trigger Flood Emergency Across Punjab and Beyond</h1>

&nbsp;

Pakistan is once again facing the deadly consequences of&nbsp;monsoon floods. Over the last month, relentless rains have turned seasonal weather into a national emergency. As of&nbsp;23 July 2025, the&nbsp;death toll from floods in Pakistan has reached 245, with&nbsp;603 injured. Just in the past 24 hours,&nbsp;3 more lives were lost&nbsp;and&nbsp;5 people injured, including children, due to lightning and flash floods in&nbsp;KP, AJ&amp;K, and Islamabad.

Entire villages are submerged. Homes, crops, and livestock lie in ruin. With&nbsp;climate change&nbsp;accelerating, these&nbsp;flood disasters&nbsp;are no longer rare; they&rsquo;ve become an annual nightmare.

&nbsp;

<h2 data-end="379" data-start="327">Why Is Pakistan So Vulnerable to Deadly Flooding?</h2>

&nbsp;

The&nbsp;Pakistan flood crisis&nbsp;is driven by more than just weather. As outlined in&nbsp;&nbsp;<a data-end="679" data-start="542" href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/17/why-is-pakistan-so-vulnerable-to-deadly-flooding" rel="noopener" target="_new">Al Jazeera&rsquo;s in-depth report (July 17, 2025)</a>.

Here are the&nbsp;key reasons&nbsp;Pakistan faces devastating floods year after year

&nbsp;

Unpredictable and Extreme Monsoons

Climate change has intensified&nbsp;monsoon patterns, causing rain to fall rapidly in short bursts&nbsp;overwhelming rivers and drains.

Melting Glaciers in the North

Pakistan has over&nbsp;7,000 glaciers. The melting of glacial lakes leads to&nbsp;Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs)&nbsp;sudden, devastating torrents that destroy downstream villages.

Rapid Urbanization Without Planning

Major cities like&nbsp;Karachi,&nbsp;Lahore, and&nbsp;Rawalpindi&nbsp;lack proper drainage systems, leading to severe&nbsp;urban floodingduring heavy rainfall.

Deforestation and Poor Land Use

The absence of natural barriers, due to illegal logging and land encroachment, worsens the intensity and speed of&nbsp;flash floods.

Pakistan Flood Emergency 2025: Alkhidmat’s Rapid Response in Action

&nbsp;

<big>پاکستان میں لاکھوں افراد آج بھی صاف اور محفوظ پانی سے محروم ہیں۔ پانی جو زندگی کی سب سے بنیادی ضرورت ہے، جب تک صاف نہ ہو &mdash; بیماریوں، محرومیوں اور بدحالی کا سبب بن سکتا ہے۔</big>

<big>الخدمت فاؤنڈیشن پاکستان نے اس بحران کو سنجیدگی سے لیتے ہوئے ملک بھر میں صاف پانی کی فراہمی کے 2100 منصوبےکامیابی سے مکمل کیے، جن سے ساڑھے پانچ لاکھ سے زائد افراد مستفید ہو چکے ہیں۔</big>

صاف پانی، صحت مند زندگی: الخدمت فاؤنڈیشن کی روشن کاوشیں

The borders are currently closed for sending aid into Gaza, but Alkhidmat Foundation is using supplies that were stored in Gaza before the borders closed. With the help of local Palestinian volunteers, Alkhidmat is distributing food and other essentials in Gaza.&nbsp;

<h2>Four-Month Supply Stored in Gaza</h2>

Before the ceasefire ended on March 18, 2025, Alkhidmat had already stored four months&#39; worth of supplies in Gaza, preparing for the risk that the borders might close again. Thanks to this, food is still being provided daily to around 3,000 Palestinian people.

Bank transfers to Palestine are still possible, so Alkhidmat is also sending money to local volunteers. They use it to buy supplies for Alkhidmat kitchens inside Gaza, where meals are prepared and distributed.&nbsp;

<h2>Relief Operations from October 2023 to Ceasefire</h2>

Since October 7, 2023, Alkhidmat Foundation has worked closely with the Government of Pakistan and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to send aid from Pakistan to Gaza. This included cargo planes and ships, and the transportation of relief goods through Egypt and Jordan. The aid was delivered into Gaza via the Rafah Border, and thousands of Palestinian families received it. All activities were recorded and shared through Alkhidmat&rsquo;s website and social media, and were officially recognized by the Pakistani embassies in Egypt and Jordan and the Government of Pakistan as well as NDMA.

In addition to helping inside Gaza, Alkhidmat is also supporting Palestinian refugee families in Egypt through its warehouse in Cairo. Moreover, for students from Gaza who came to Pakistan to continue their education, Alkhidmat is providing housing, food, education, and other facilities.&nbsp;

<h2>Relief and Rebuild Gaza Efforts During Ceasefire</h2>

Right after October 7, 2023, Alkhidmat signed agreements with international partner organizations inside Gaza and NGOs in Egypt and Jordan to deliver food, medicines, and other aid. Thousands of tons of supplies were distributed. After the ceasefire on January 19, 2025, Alkhidmat launched a 15-billion-rupee &quot;Rebuild Gaza&quot; campaign. &quot;Rebuild Gaza&quot; included rebuilding destroyed homes, masajid, hospitals, and water projects in Gaza, and constructing a residential tower for Palestinian refugee families in Egypt, as well as supporting orphaned children. However, the &quot;Rebuild Gaza&quot; projects had to pause after the ceasefire ended on March 18, 2025.&nbsp;

<h2>Alkhidmat&rsquo;s Commitments to Gaza</h2>

Alkhidmat Foundation strongly wishes for a permanent ceasefire and lasting peace in Palestine. As soon as the borders reopen, Alkhidmat is ready to speed up the delivery of aid to Gaza. Meanwhile, with the help of local Palestinian volunteers and international partners, Alkhidmat continues to support families inside Gaza. Alkhidmat is still sending money via bank transfer in Palestine to keep the kitchens running and to distribute meals daily.&nbsp;

<h2>Impact of your support &nbsp;</h2>

All of this has only been possible because of the continuous support and donations from generous people like you. Alkhidmat is deeply thankful to its international and Pakistani donors and supporters for helping deliver thousands of tons of aid to Gaza. We ask for your continued support to help reach thousands of Palestinian families, women, and innocent children with essential supplies every day.&nbsp;

This World Water Day 2025, Alkhidmat is Preparing for the Most Vulnerable and Unforeseen

The 15th of Ramadan holds special significance for Muslims around the world, not only because it marks the midpoint of the holy month of fasting but also because it is observed as World Orphan Day.

This day calls on individuals, communities, and organizations to reflect on the plight of orphans globally and recognize their needs for love, support, and care.

How Islam Protects the Rights of Orphans

Being most vulnerable members of society, Islam legalized the rights of orphans from childhood to adulthood and created a complete constitution to respect and guarantee these rights. The orphan is mentioned in 22 verses of the Holy Quran.

Allah says have you seen the one who denies the (Day of) Judgment? This is the one who pushes away the orphan.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had a special bond with orphans, as he himself was an orphan, and he often highlighted the virtues of caring for them. The Prophet (peace be upon him) described the best house as one where an orphan lives.

Alkhidmat Foundation, a Hope for Orphans

Alkhidmat Foundation, a prominent humanitarian organization in Pakistan, plays an active role in celebrating World Orphan Day. The foundation is known for its efforts in providing support and care to orphans.

Special Events and Gatherings: Alkhidmat Foundation arranges events where orphans are gathered and celebrated. These events often include meals, entertainment, and gift distribution. Volunteers and community members come together to make the day memorable for the children.

<img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/174211179267d684303656a.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 267px;" /><img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/174211186167d68475e2819.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 267px;" />

Grand Iftar:&nbsp;Alkhidmat Foundation has a tradition of organizing Grand Iftar events during Ramadan to foster community unity and support those in need. This Ramadan Grand Iftar is being organized at UMT Lahore and in Birmingham as well as, UK, on 22nd of March on Saturday. In previous years, such events have been held at venues like Punjab University New Campus in Lahore, bringing together students and community members for shared Iftar meals.&nbsp;

Financial and Educational Support: On this day, the foundation also ensures that orphans receive financial support, educational scholarships, and access to healthcare. Many orphans are given the resources they need for better futures, including school supplies, uniforms, and sometimes even full sponsorship for their education.

Community Awareness: The foundation uses World Orphan Day to raise awareness about the plight of orphans. Campaigns, fundraisers, and media outreach are common to encourage people to contribute and support orphan care.

<img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/174211198467d684f099493.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 300px;" />&nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/174211220367d685cba9b82.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 333px;" />

Charity Drives: Fundraising efforts are often organized to collect donations for the ongoing care of orphans. These funds help provide shelter, food, education, and healthcare to orphaned children throughout the year.

Surviving Orphans of Gaza:&nbsp;Additionally, Alkhidmat Foundation continues its efforts to provide Iftar meals to displaced Palestinian families, serving 500 families in recent initiatives. Alkhidmat academic scholarship sponsors 400 students on monthly bases. Right now in Cairo, 300 students have been accommodated and two Alkhidmat schools have been initiated in Gaza.

<img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/174210614167d66e1d29ca4.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 500px;" />&nbsp;

Every child deserves a future filled with education, care, and opportunities. Alkhidmat is nurturing 31,985 orphans, ensuring they grow with dignity and hope.

How You Can Make a Difference

While Alkhidmat Foundation&rsquo;s efforts to support orphans are invaluable, the responsibility of supporting orphans doesn&rsquo;t solely fall on organizations. Every individual has a role to play. Here&rsquo;s how you can help:

Sponsor an Orphan: Whether it&rsquo;s a small monthly contribution or a one-time donation, every bit counts. Alkhidmat Foundation accepts donations to fund their orphan care programs, aghosh homes, and educational initiatives.

Where you can Volunteer: If you can spare some time, consider volunteering for Alkhidmat or other local organizations working with orphans. Your presence and involvement can have a significant impact on their lives.

Raise Awareness: Use your voice to spread awareness about the needs of orphans. Social media platforms, blogs, and community events are great ways to highlight their struggles and encourage others to act.

Offer Mentorship: Orphans often lack the guidance that children in traditional family structures receive. If you can, offer mentorship to an orphaned child. Whether it&rsquo;s through tutoring, career advice, or simply being a friend, your support can shape their future.

<img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/174210686067d670ec28102.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 500px;" />&nbsp;

Gifts, in this context, are not just material, but can also be services, time, and attention. They make a significant impact on orphans&#39; lives by giving them tools to thrive, hope for the future, and the support they need to heal and grow.

Be their support 

This is our responsibility as Muslims, especially on the occasion of this blessed month of Ramadan, we should place our hands of compassion on the heads of the poor and needy orphans of our society. We should try to solve their problems according to our means and status. We should try to arrange for their education and training.

World Orphans Day: Partner With Alkhidmat to Change Lives

Alkhidmat Foundation, a prominent non-profit organization in Pakistan, has played an essential role in empowering women through various initiatives, including its Islamic microfinance programs.

These microfinance programs align with the principles of Islamic finance, which emphasizes fairness, transparency, and social welfare, while helping economically disadvantaged individuals, particularly women, to uplift their living standards.

Here are some key ways that Alkhidmat Foundation&#39;s Islamic microfinance initiatives contribute to women&#39;s empowerment.

1. Access to Financial Resources

Interest-Free Loans (Qarz-e-Hasna): These loans allow women to start or expand businesses without the burden of interest, promoting financial independence.

Affordable Credit: Designed for accessibility, these loans cater to women who may lack collateral or credit history, enabling them to secure funding.

2. Economic Empowerment

Micro-loans facilitate the establishment of small businesses (e.g., tailoring, food processing), fostering self-reliance and confidence. Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan&#39;s &quot;Loan for Orphan&#39;s Mother&quot; program, under its Islamic Microfinance (AKIM) initiative, provides interest-free loans up to Pkr 100,000 to mothers of orphaned children. These loans empower them to start small businesses, such as tailoring, embroidery, beauty parlors, grocery stores, and more, promoting financial independence and self-reliance. &nbsp;

3. Training Programs

The foundation runs various vocational training programs that help women learn practical skills such as sewing, stitching, embroidery, cooking, and computer literacy. Accompanying training in business management and marketing enhances women&#39;s capabilities to run successful enterprises. Alkhidmat also provides women with the tools to manage businesses, including training in financial literacy, marketing, and leadership skills, thus boosting their entrepreneurial capabilities.

4.&nbsp; Alkhidmat Bano Qabil Program aims to equip female students with IT skills for self-reliance.&nbsp;The program strives to enable the female students to work online from home and improve their financial status. This initiative, an essential step for women&#39;s development, aims to foster a society where prosperity, growth, and independence thrive

5. Educational Support and Scholarships

Alkhidmat Foundation provides educational scholarships to girls and women, helping them pursue their studies without financial barriers. Education is a key factor in women&rsquo;s empowerment, and these scholarships enable them to access higher education and professional development opportunities.

<img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/174142864567cc17a5187fc.png" style="width: 350px; height: 350px;" />&nbsp;<img alt="" src="https://alkhidmat.org/backend/images/region/blog/ckeditor-images/174143590767cc340361290.jpeg" style="width: 350px; height: 350px;" />

6. Community Development and Advocacy

Alkhidmat also engages in various social welfare programs that directly benefit women, such as food distribution and disaster relief efforts, which help women in times of crisis. The program helps dismantle societal barriers that restrict women&#39;s economic participation, promoting gender equality. In return, empowered women often become role models, driving the agenda for gender equity in their communities.

7. Empowering Women in Disaster Relief and Rehabilitation

Alkhidmat actively involves women in its disaster relief and rehabilitation efforts, giving them a platform to contribute to their communities and take on leadership roles in the process. Through various initiatives, Alkhidmat helps women develop leadership skills and become more active in their communities.

The Islamic microfinance program exemplifies a multifaceted approach to empowering women, combining financial support with skills development, social recognition, and advocacy for gender equality. By addressing both economic and social dimensions, it fosters a more equitable society where women can thrive as entrepreneurs and leaders.
