Start Ramadan with Sadaqah: The Rewards of Giving in the First Ten Days
Ramadan is that month of the year when Muslims are expected not only to fast, but also to reflect, show mercy, and engage in charitable acts. While we prepare for Ramadan, the first thing that comes to mind is how to make the most of this blessed month.
From increasing prayers, reciting the Quran, observing fasting, to giving Sadaqah, these practices open the doors of countless blessings throughout the month. The rewards of giving Sadaqah during the first ten days of Ramadan are beyond our imagination.
When you provide for the sake of Allah to help those in need, you are abundantly rewarded. Let`s start Ramadan with Sadaqah and reap immense blessings this year.
Understanding the Mercy and Blessings During the First Ashra of Ramadan
The first ten days of Ramadan are filled with Allah’s mercy. It is that time of the month when Muslims seek forgiveness, strengthen their faith, and engage in good deeds to gain multiplied rewards. Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا، غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ
“Whoever fasts during Ramadan out of sincere faith and seeking reward, all his past sins will be forgiven.”
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (no. 38), Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (no. 760)
Among the most rewarded acts to practise during Ramadan is to give Sadaqah to those in need. Sadaqah is not only a charitable deed but also a spiritual investment to earn multiple rewards for the lifetime.
Why is the First 10 Days the Best Time to Give Sadaqah?
Giving Sadaqah in the first 10 days of Ramadan is highly rewarding, as it offers you the opportunity for spiritual renewal and a chance to help those struggling with hardship.
Additionally, when you start Ramadan with Sadaqah, you set the tone for the rest of the month, ensuring to make the most of these blessed days.
Every act practised during Ramadan reaps multiplied rewards. While we spend most of our time worshipping, the act of giving Sadaqah purifies the heart and soul.

When you start Ramadan with Sadaqah, you help transform lives by providing food and essential items, iftar packs to help them break their fast with dignity, and fulfil their urgent needs.
The Holy Qur’an beautifully reminds us:
مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سِنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنبُلَةٍ مِائَةُ حَبَّةٍ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يُضَاعِفُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:261)
Your charity in Ramadan not only rewards you abundantly but also becomes a source of mercy for those in desperate need.
