Ramadan, the month of love and giving!
When is Ramadan 2025?
The sacred month will begin on Friday, February 28 or Saturday, March 1, 2025, and will end with Eid al-Fitr on Sunday, 30 March or Monday, 31 March 2025.
And it’s our chance to connect with others, support those in need, & strengthen the bonds within our communities.
Let's explore 12 meaningful ways to give back during Ramadan 2025, ensuring that the spirit of kindness and generosity shines brightly throughout the month.
1. Provide a Daily Iftar Meal
One of the most meaningful ways to give back during Ramadan is by giving a daily Iftar meal.
You can cook a delicious meal at home or sponsor meals through a charity that you trust. This act of kindness ensures that those in need can break their fast with a hearty meal.
You can donate an iftar meal with Dar El Ber Iftar meal plan.
2. Free Tutoring Lessons
Another way to give back is by offering free tutoring lessons to students in need. Share your knowledge to help others with their studies, especially in subjects they find challenging.
Also, consider donating school supplies like bags, notebooks, pens, pencils, and colouring kits—to brighten someone's educational journey.
Here is a list of places to donate in Dubai:
- Bait Al Khair
- Al Ihsan Charity Center
- Dar Al Ber Society
- Holy Trinity Thrift Centre, Oud Metha
- Old Library to donate books
3. Give Zakat
Ramadan is the perfect time to fulfil your obligation of giving Zakat.
By contributing a portion of your wealth, you can support those in financial need.
4. Bake for a Cause
Put your baking skills to good use this Ramadan 2025 by baking up some cookies, cupcakes, or other treats to sell for a charitable cause.
Even if you’re unable to contribute financially, baking provides a creative way to give back. Bake, earn, and give!

Gather clothes that are still in good condition and gently used and give them to charities or directly to families who could benefit.
Your good deed can make someone’s Eid extra special by ensuring they have clean and comfortable clothing to wear.
Here is a list of places you can donate your clothes:
- Donation Bins: Found in shopping malls and residential areas for dropping off gently used clothing.
- Emirates Red Crescent: Collection centers across Dubai.
6. Volunteer in Kitchens
Lend a helping hand by volunteering in community kitchens. Assist in preparing and serving iftar meals to the less fortunate.
Your time and effort can make a significant difference in the lives of those who rely on these meals.
Here's a list of places to help donate food in Ramadan:
7. Host a Quran Reading Circle
Bring your family, friends, or neighbours together by hosting a Quran reading circle during Ramadan.
This spiritual gathering fosters reflection, learning, and a deeper connection to faith. A beautiful way to connect during the holy month.
8. Contribute to Mosque Renovations
Contribute to mosque renovations during Ramadan to help maintain and improve places of worship.
You can do that by donating funds for new carpets, lighting, or structural repairs.

9. Participate in Cleanup Drives
Keep your community clean and beautiful this Ramadan by joining or organising cleanup drives.
With the help of a group of friends, family, or neighbours, pick up litter from streets, parks, or public spaces. This is a simple yet impactful act, as it promotes environmental care, unity, & responsibility.
10. Create Food Packages
Spread joy this Ramadan by assembling food packages for families in need.
