Giving Charity in Ramadan: 70x Blessings?

Ramadan begins. You feel the change in the air. The mosques fill up. You open your wallet to give. But you wonder about the specific reward for giving charity in Ramadan.

Why do Muslims rush to donate now? Is it just a tradition? Or might it genuinely influence your destiny?

At SPAR Project, we see this wave of kindness every year. We see your donations build wells and feed hungry families in Bangladesh. But we want you to know what you get in return. The deal is not one-way. When you help the poor, you help yourself most of all.

This guide explains the massive rewards waiting for you. We explain why a single dollar now is worth a fortune later.

The Season of Bonus Rewards

Think of a store with a massive sale. Everything is cheap. You buy as much as you can.

Ramadan nourishes your soul in a similar way.

Scholars explain a simple rule from the Hadith. A required deed (Fard) done in Ramadan equals 70 required deeds done in other months. A voluntary deed (Nafl) in Ramadan equals a required deed at any other time.

Do the math.

You give $100 of Zakat in a normal month. It counts as one duty.

If you give that same $100 during Ramadan, it counts as 70 acts of charity. It counts as 70 duties.

This means the reward for giving charity in Ramadan is huge. It is the best way to boost your spiritual bank account.

The Prophet (ﷺ) Gave Like the Wind

We follow the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). He was always generous. But in Ramadan, he changed.

His companions said he became “more generous than the blowing wind.”

Think about the wind.

It moves fast.
It reaches everyone.
It brings cool relief on a hot day.

When you donate to the SPAR Project, you act like that wind. You bring relief to a hungry family. You do not wait. You give freely.

The Night Worth a Lifetime

One night in Ramadan is special. It is Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Power).

The Quran says this night is “better than a thousand months.”

A thousand months is about 83 years. That is a whole human life.

Imagine you donate $20 on this night. Allah records it as if you donated $20 every single night for 83 years.

We do not know the exact date. It falls in the last ten nights. The best plan? Give a small amount every night during the last ten days. Then you surely catch the reward.

A Shield From the Fire

Charity protects you.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Protect yourself from the Hellfire, even with half a date.”

You do not need to be wealthy to receive the reward for giving charity during Ramadan. Even a small coin helps. Even half a date helps.

Charity proves something important. It proves you control your money. Your money does not control you. It stands as a shield between you and punishment.

Feed a Fasting Person (Double Your Fast)

Do you want to fast for 60 days in just one month? Here is a trick.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever feeds a fasting person gets a reward like theirs.”

You feed one person for Iftar. You get the reward for their fast. You do not lose any of your reward.

Feed five people? You get five extra fasts.
Feed a whole family? You get a mountain of rewards.

This is why we run big food campaigns at SPAR Project. For a small cost, you provide a hot meal to a poor family in Bangladesh. They eat. You get the blessings.

Zakat vs. Sadaqah: Which One?

People ask us, “Should I pay Zakat or give Sadaqah now?”

Here is the simple rule:

Zakat comes first. It is a debt. You must pay it. Because it is a duty, paying it in Ramadan hits the 70x multiplier.
Sadaqah has no limit. Zakat is only 2.5%. Sadaqah is whatever you want.

Use Sadaqah to clean your mistakes. Did you argue while fasting? Did you waste time? Charity cleans your record.

Most people do both. They pay their Zakat. Then they give small daily Sadaqah to keep the good deeds flowing.

Sadaqah Jariyah: The Gift That Lives On

You can give a gift that lasts forever. This is Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity).

Normal charity helps once. Ongoing charity helps for years. Even after you die, the rewards keep coming to you.

You can support these projects with SPAR Project:

Build a Water Well: Someone drinks water. You get a reward.
Plant a Tree: Someone sits in the shade. You get a reward.
Educate a Child: A child reads Quran. You share the credit.

Start this in Ramadan. It is like planting a seed in the best soil. It grows forever.

Help Orphans and Be Close to the Prophet

Do you want to be close to the Prophet (ﷺ) in Paradise?

He held up his two fingers together. He said, “I and the one who cares for an orphan will be like this in Paradise.”

In Bangladesh, many orphans lack guardians or family support. They have no new clothes for Eid. They have no good food.

You can sponsor an orphan this Ramadan. You give them a future. In return, you book your spot next to the best of creation.

Check Your Heart

Your intention matters.

To get the full reward for giving charity in Ramadan, look inside your heart.

Do not show off. Do not give, so people praise you. That ruins it.
Give quietly. Don’t let your left hand know what your right hand gives.
Give with love. Give out the money you love.

Simple Tips for Ramadan Giving

You want a plan. Here is how to do it:

Set a Budget: Please review your bank account today. Decide your number.
Give Daily: Set up an automatic donation. Even $1 a day works. You won’t miss a single blessing.
Focus on the End: Save extra money for the last 10 nights.
Mix it Up: Give some for water. Provide some for food. Give some for orphans.
Trust SPAR Project: We work on the ground. We make sure your money reaches the right hands.

Your Impact in Bangladesh

These rewards sound wonderful. But the real-world impact is even better.

Ramadan is challenging for the poor in Dhaka or Sylhet. Food prices go up. Parents worry about hungry children.

When you send money to SPAR Project, you answer their prayers.

You put meat on their table.
You provide clean water for Wudu.
You put a smile on an orphan’s face.

You change the world. You are changing the world one donation at a time.

Final Thoughts

The gates of Heaven are open. The rewards are ready.

The reward for giving charity in Ramadan is real. But you must act. Do not let this month pass with just sleep and hunger. Make your money work for your afterlife.

Purify your wealth. Protect your family. Feed the hungry.

SPAR Project is ready. Are you?

[Donate Now and Multiply Your Rewards This Ramadan]

Can I give Zakat to my family?

Yes! It is actually better. You get two rewards. One for charity and one for helping family. But you cannot give to your parents, wife, husband, or children. You must support them anyway. You can donate to cousins, aunts, or siblings if they are poor.

Should I give secretly?

Yes. Secret charity is usually best. It keeps your heart pure. It stops you from showing off. But if giving openly encourages others to contribute, that is also beneficial.

Will charity make me poor?

No. The Prophet (ﷺ) promised, “Charity never decreases wealth.” Your bank balance might look lower. But Allah puts Barakah (blessing) in what is left. Your money goes further. You stay safe from big accidents.

What if I have no money?

Charity is not just money. A smile is charity. Helping someone carry a bag is charity. Sharing your Iftar food with a neighbor is charity. Everyone can give something.

Can I give for my dead parents?

Yes. This is a beautiful deed. You can build a well in their name. The reward reaches them in their grave. It raises their rank in Heaven. It is the best gift for them.

Is there a minimum for Sadaqah?

No. Allah looks at your heart, not the amount. If you have $10 and give $1, it is huge. Give what you can.

How do I know Allah accepted my charity?

We cannot know for sure. But there are signs. If you feel happy after giving, that is a good sign. If you want to do more beneficial deeds, that is a good sign. Allah guides those He accepts.
