10 Days of Mercy: Dhul Hijjah 2026
Why Your Sadaqah Matters Right Now
The Prophet (saw) said "There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days (i.e the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah)" (Bukhari)
In a bakery in Yemen, our team starts producing bread long before the sun comes up. By the time the first families arrive, the queue is already long. They haven't woken up late. They are people who have nothing else: no market to visit, no kitchen stocked at home, and no alternative. Just this bakery, this bread, and the hope that it doesn't run out before they reach the front.
In Gaza, a mother carries her sick child to the edge of a displacement camp, searching for the white vehicle she heard would come today. She has no way to reach a hospital because the ones near her home simply no longer exist. But Mercy Relief's mobile clinic is there. It is a pharmacy on wheels with a qualified physician and essential medicines, coming to her because she cannot come to us.
In a malnutrition clinic in Yemen, a child is being weighed, and the numbers aren't moving in the right direction. The therapeutic food that could turn that child's life around costs less than a cup of coffee per day.
These are not abstract crises. They are specific, solvable, and waiting for us to act. The ten days you are currently in are the days in which your decision to give carries the greatest reward it will ever carry in your entire life. Give in these best days. Reach the people who need it most. Mercy Relief will ensure it gets there.
These are the ten greatest days of the year. Make every one of them count.

Donate NowWhy The Ten Days Of Dhul Hijjah Are Unlike Any Other
The Prophet ﷺ taught us that there are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.
Ibn al-Qayyim explained why this time is so unique: these are the only days in the entire Islamic calendar where all five pillars of worship converge at once. Salah, fasting, Sadaqah, Qurbani and Hajj all happen together. While the last ten nights of Ramadan are the greatest nights of the year, the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah are the greatest days.
Every act of Sadaqah you perform in these 10 days of mercy carries a reward it doesn't carry at any other time. Please do not let them pass without giving.
Why Give Through Mercy Relief Today
-
We have been on the ground since 2008. Our operations in Yemen began long before the current crisis was international news. We’ve built the relationships and local knowledge needed to reach communities others cannot. When you give to Mercy Relief, your donation travels through a chain of people who know exactly whose lives they are changing.
-
Every project has a direct, verifiable human outcome. We don't focus on awareness campaigns; we focus on action. When you donate to a malnutrition appeal, a child is fed. When you give to the mobile clinic, a family gets medical care. Your Sadaqah is always connected to a specific act of mercy.
-
Our 100% Zakat policy protects your worship. Every penny of your Zakat reaches the people it is intended for. We never reduce your Zakat to cover our own costs. Your obligatory giving is your worship and we protect it accordingly.
