Every week, over a billion Muslims mark Jummah as the most spiritually significant day of the week. It is a day for prayer, reflection, and du'a. It's also a day the Prophet ﷺ and the scholars after him described as carrying particular blessings: good deeds multiplied, du'as more readily accepted, small acts carrying greater weight. For most of us, though, charitable giving tends to sit outside that weekly rhythm, something tied to Ramadan or Qurbani rather than something built into Jummah itself.

That's the gap Jummah Giving is designed to close.

What Is International Aid Charity Doing About It?

The families IAC-UK supports, through food parcels, clean water projects, orphan sponsorship, and emergency relief, need consistent support, not just seasonal support. A widow raising children on her own needs help in the months between Ramadan and Dhul Hijjah just as much as during them. A community without reliable clean water needs it year-round. Seasonal appeals do a lot of good, but they leave gaps in between where support can drop off. Regular, ongoing giving is what keeps programmes running steadily, without those gaps.

Jummah offers a natural rhythm for that kind of giving. It's already the day many set aside for extra good deeds, so we wanted to make it just as easy to build giving into that same rhythm.

Jummah Giving works in three simple steps. First, choose a cause: Food, Water, Orphans, Widows, Emergency relief, or "where it's needed most." Then set an amount that renews each Jummah. And you're done. From there, your giving continues automatically each week.

This means support keeps reaching the people who rely on it consistently, rather than only during peak fundraising seasons. It's a straightforward way to turn a day already set aside for good deeds into lasting, dependable impact.

Jummah Giving launches soon. We'll share more details, including how to sign up, as we get closer to launch.

Trust. Transparency. Ihsan. That's how we give.
