What Is Fidya and Fitrana?
Fidya and Fitrana are charitable contributions made during Ramadan by Muslims who are unable to fast due to illness, pregnancy, or other reasons. Fidya is a form of compensation for missed fasts, while Fitrana is a donation given before Eid al-Fitr to help the less fortunate celebrate the festival. These contributions aim to fulfill religious obligations and support those in need during the holy month.
Fidya is paid for each missed fast and typically involves providing food for those in need, while Fitrana is a donation given before Eid al-Fitr.

Abdul Sattar Edhi
Founder Profile
Born in 1928 in the small village of Bantva near Joona Garh, Gujrat (India), Abdul Sattar Edhi's journey of compassion began with the seeds planted in his soul during his mother's illness. At the age of eleven, when his mother became paralyzed and later suffered from mental illness, Edhi devoted himself to her care.
He undertook the responsibilities of cleaning, bathing, changing clothes, and feeding her. Despite his efforts, the battle against the disease proved to be challenging, and his mother's helplessness grew over the years. This early experience shaped Edhi's lifelong commitment to alleviating the suffering of humanity.
