The Difference Between Sadaqah and Zakat
Watch now: 28 Years of hope at Shaukat Khanum
About Sadaqah
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was the most generous of people and he was even more generous in Ramadan.”
(Bukhari)
About Sadaqah
Imran Khan Cancer Appeal
Imran Khan made history in 1994 when he founded Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, the first comprehensive healthcare facility of its kind in Pakistan. Last year, thanks to the generosity of our donors, our hospital achieved another remarkable milestone, becoming the second organisation in the world to receive system-wide JCI Enterprise Accreditation.
As 75% of our patients continue to receive free treatment every year, our goal to ensure that no one is denied access to cancer care because of where they are from or what they earn remains steadfast. We remain grateful for your trust and support, as we look forward to the inauguration of our third and largest hospital in Karachi in December. Ramadan Mubarak. May Allah (SWT) bless you with good health, peace, and prosperity in this holy month.

Give Sadaqah Jariyah to our Karachi Hospital
The Difference Between Sadaqah and Zakat
About Sadaqah
“When a man dies, his good deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah [ceaseless charity]; a knowledge which [he has passed on and] is beneficial; or a virtuous descendant who prays for him.”
(Bukhari)
About Sadaqah

Feed a cancer patient with your Sadaqah
The Difference Between Sadaqah and Zakat
About Sadaqah
“The best of you are those who feed others.”
(Ahmad)
About Sadaqah
Many of the patients who qualify for free cancer care at our hospital are malnourished even before they begin treatment. To give them the best chance of survival, we must provide them with the essential vitamins and nutrients they need for their therapy. Can you help us feed a cancer patient this Ramadan?
A small Sadaqah donation of £50 can feed a patient for 10 days. By donating £150, you can share your iftar with a patient for the entire month.
Did you know that we were the first hospital in Pakistan to receive the HACCP certification, an internationally renowned food safety standard accreditation? Find out more about Clinical Nutrition services at Shaukat Khanum Hospital.

About Sadaqah
(Bukhari)
“When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained.”
About Sadaqah
Ahsan began treatment for Soft Tissue Sarcoma at Shaukat Khanum Lahore last July. Without your support, his mother would not be able to continue his care.
Sponsoring the treatment of a child patient, like Ahsan, can save a life. But Ahsan’s chances of survival depend on so many factors.
By giving Zakat to ‘where most needed’ this Ramadan you will be giving us the flexibility to allocate our resources where they can have the most impact.

Our Zakat Promise
Invite the people to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and I am Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and if they obey you to do so, then teach them that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers in every day and night (in twenty-four hours), and if they obey you to do so, then teach them that Allah has made it obligatory for them to pay the Zakat from their property and it is to be taken from the wealthy among them and given to the poor.
