Iftar for the guests of God: One million meals daily through the Ihsan platform
Introduction: Continuous giving within the precincts of the Two Holy Mosques
In a display of faith reflecting the highest ideals of social solidarity and Islamic unity, the generous contributions of benefactors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, channeled through the national charitable platform 'Ihsan', in fruitful cooperation with the General Authority for the Care of the Two Holy Mosques, have resulted in a monumental charitable achievement: providing over one million iftar meals daily to pilgrims at the Two Holy Mosques. This noble endeavor falls under the 'Iftar Meals' project, which opens avenues of giving for benefactors to contribute through official, reliable, and secure channels.
Historical context: The honor of serving those who visit the Sacred House of God
Historically, serving pilgrims and visitors to the Grand Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet's Mosque in Medina has been a great honor passed down through generations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. For decades, the wise leadership has placed the care of the guests of God at the forefront of its priorities. This honor has not been limited to governmental efforts alone, but has extended to the people of Saudi society, who have always been accustomed to giving generously to honor those visiting the Two Holy Mosques. Today, in light of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 and the tremendous technological advancements, these individual and community efforts have transformed into organized and sustainable institutional work through trusted digital platforms such as the Ihsan platform, making it easier for everyone to participate in this great honor from anywhere.
Breakfast Travel Project: Promising Numbers and Statistics
These charitable contributions are a continuation of the ongoing generosity that began at the start of Ramadan. Statistics have recorded record numbers, with over 23 million meals provided to pilgrims since the beginning of the holy month. This impressive figure represents more than just food; it embodies the spirit of community solidarity and the profound commitment to maximizing charitable impact in the holiest of places. The project primarily aims to empower individuals and companies to contribute to providing iftar meals for pilgrims and worshippers, recognizing the virtue and immense reward of such acts during this blessed month.
Significance and impact: local, regional, and international dimensions
The impact of this massive project extends far beyond the local level, fostering values of compassion and solidarity within Saudi society. It encompasses broad regional and international dimensions. Pilgrims and visitors come from all corners of the earth, and upon receiving this exceptional care, they return to their countries with a positive impression reflecting the tolerance of Islam and the renowned Saudi hospitality. Providing over a million meals daily reinforces the Kingdom's position as the beating heart of the Islamic world and underscores its global leadership in crowd management and the provision of humanitarian and charitable services.
National Campaign for Charitable Work: Governance and Transparency
Based on the noble Prophetic guidance in the words of the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him): “Whoever provides food for a fasting person to break their fast will have a reward like theirs,” the Ehsan platform offers an advanced digital mechanism that ensures the swift execution of donations. The platform is characterized by the highest levels of transparency in distribution and complete reliability in delivering meals to those in need, adhering to the highest governance standards. The platform continues to receive contributions from benefactors as part of the national campaign for charitable work across various charitable and developmental fields, including the Ehsan Endowment Fund. Those wishing to donate can use the platform's application or website (Ehsan.sa), or by calling the unified number 8001247000, thus contributing to expanding the impact and enhancing the sustainability of charitable work.
