Zakat Eligible: Yes

Location: Tamil Nadu, Thoothukudi

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, We urgently seek your generous Zakat support for our brother Ashraf Ali, who is passing through an extremely difficult phase in life. With more than 25 years of experience in clothing sales, he has always been a hardworking and self-reliant individual. Unfortunately, due to severe diabetic complications affecting his leg, he is now unable to walk properly and can no longer continue outdoor work. Although he is suffering from diabetes, this appeal is not for medical expenses but to help him rebuild his livelihood and regain independence.

Ashraf Ali is currently living alone and struggling to manage even his basic daily needs. His sister is providing him with food and shelter, but she herself comes from a low-income background, making it very difficult to sustain his expenses consistently. With no stable income and limited mobility, he is in a truly vulnerable and destitute condition. Despite these hardships, he remains determined to stand on his own feet. Using his decades of experience in garment sales, he plans to start a small home-based ready-made garments business so that he can earn with dignity without needing to travel or work outside.

To set up this small boutique from home — including purchasing essential stock and arranging the basic setup — an estimated amount of ₹62,000 is urgently required. This amount will help him begin a sustainable source of income and move from dependency to self-reliance.

Your Zakat can transform his situation and restore hope, stability, and dignity in his life. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever relieves a believer’s hardship in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection” (Sahih Muslim).

We humbly request your generous contribution toward this noble cause. May Allah reward you abundantly and make this charity a means of immense blessings in this world and the Hereafter.
