Ramadan 2026

Ramadan Reflections & WHAF Updates

As we enter the blessed month of Ramadan, a time of reflection, justice, and renewed commitment to service, WHAF continues advancing its work across two key pillars: strengthening global zakat dialogue and facilitating civil society consultations in Syria.

These efforts reflect our shared responsibility to nurture ethical humanitarian frameworks while empowering communities to shape their own recovery and futures.

Current updates

Workstreams in focus

WHAF’s current front-page priorities bring together thought leadership on zakat and structured civic engagement in Syria.

Zakat: Launch of Zakat Insights & Co-Learning Series

WHAF has launched Zakat Insights, a new monthly newsletter dedicated to exploring zakat, social justice, and the evolving global systems that shape its administration.

Our first issue highlights recent international conversations on zakat, from Indonesia to Bangladesh and beyond, and introduces a new WHAF-facilitated Zakat and Justice Co-Learning Series. This series brings together practitioners, scholars, and institutional leaders to rethink the international governance and practice of zakat.

We kickstarted the series with a focused session on “Zakat for Women’s Empowerment and Justice.” The session convened an all-female group of participants who spoke candidly about women’s lived experiences within zakat administration.

Our next co-learning session will take place on 27 February on the theme: “Zakat, Ramadan, and Sustainable Giving.”
