Al-Qiyas Welfare is mainly operated by volunteers who generously dedicate their time and efforts to support our cause. These volunteers are the heart and soul of Al-Qiyas Welfare, working tirelessly to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. We deeply appreciate the dedication of our volunteers who play a crucial role in the successful running of Al-Qiyas Welfare projects. Their hard work, passion, and commitment are the driving force behind the success of our projects and without them it would not be possible.
Their dedication and commitment to helping those in need have truly made a significant impact on the community. Without their valuable contributions of time and effort, Al-Qiyas Welfare would not be able to reach as many individuals and families who require assistance and make a difference in their lives. We are truly grateful for their invaluable contributions and the positive impact they have on our organisation and the communities we serve.
JazakAllah Khair to all our amazing volunteers for your hard work and dedication. May Allah reward you all for your efforts.

## **FUNERAL & BURIAL**
## **SUPPORT**
Since its beginning, Al-Qiyas Welfare has been supporting families who have experienced the loss of a loved one by organising burial and funeral arrangements.
Once again this year, we have extended financial aid to families in need, providing essential packages that contain the necessary items including the shroud (kafan), required for burial according to Islamic tradition. These necessary provisions were provided at no cost to families facing hardship due to the loss of a loved one.
We believe in the importance of coming together as a community to support one another during times of loss and grief. It is our mission to ensure that families facing such challenging circumstances are not burdened with financial stress while grieving the loss of their loved ones. Through the generous contributions of our donors and volunteers, we have been able to extend a helping hand to those in need, standing by those who are going through difficult times.
As we look to the future, we remain committed to supporting families in need, offering assistance and care to bereaved families and easing their financial stresses during this difficult time.
We believe that by coming together and showing solidarity, we can make a positive impact in the lives of those who are struggling. At Al-Qiyas Welfare, we strive to be a beacon of hope and support for all community members during their toughest times.

## **RAMADAN 2023**
Food insecurity continues to pose a significant challenge for families across the world. Many families struggle to cope in their daily life, unsure about where their next meal will come from. In response to this, charitable organisations play a crucial role in extending support to families in need.
Al-Qiyas Welfare provides food packs throughout the year to daily wage earners and low-income, vulnerable families experiencing financial hardships. These food parcels are carefully curated to contain a variety of staple food items that are essential for sustaining a family for up to a month. Each pack consists of substantial quantities of rice, flour, lentils, oil, tea, sugar and more, all purchased locally to support the community.
The team made certain that your generous donations went to those who were in need and truly deserving and worked tirelessly to make sure the food packs reached these families in time for Ramadan. Equally, the team dedicated significant effort to ensure all Zakat al Fitr (Fitrana) donations and Eid ul-Fitr food packs were distributed to families in need before the end of Ramadan and Eid.
By working together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who are struggling to cope with the challenges of daily life. We are grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact and look forward to continuing our efforts to support those in need during Ramadan and beyond.
Like previous years, in the Islamic month of Ramadan, food packs were provided for poor and needy families to ensure that families did not go hungry and had nutritious food to break their fasts with at the end of each day without worry.
**AL-QIYAS WELFARE ANNUAL REPORT 2022-23**
## **DASTARKHWAN (COMMUNITY KITCHEN)**
In efforts to tackle the problem of food insecurity and hunger in Jhelum, Al-Qiyas Welfare held regular dastarkhwans (community kitchen) for the community, throughout the year.
Hot cooked food was provided to individuals in need, including the poor, homeless, and those living on the streets. Meals were provided at no cost to anyone in need, with dignity and respect.
These community kitchens offer a helping hand to ensure that families have access to nutritious meals.

## **QURBANI**
Qurbani, meaning ‘sacrifice’ refers to the important Islamic practice of sacrificing a livestock animal during the festival of Eid al-Adha.
With your generous contributions, we successfully distributed Qurbani meat to hundreds of underprivileged families in Pakistan.
Each year Al-Qiyas Welfare arranges Qurbani for needy and deserving families in Pakistan.
This year, we are grateful to have provided the largest number of animals for Qurbani compared to previous years.
For the first time we requested donations towards a Qurbani Fund in which the contributions were pooled together to offer a Qurbani of one camel.
In the three days of Eid al-Adha 2023 Al-Qiyas Welfare offered Qurbani of 1 camel and 8 cows.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in Qurbani with Al-Qiyas Welfare this year, and an extra special appreciation to our committed team of volunteers for their continuous hard work.
We appreciate and cherish your support and generosity. Your belief in our work has made a meaningful difference in many lives.
You entrusted Al-Qiyas Welfare with carrying out your Qurbani according to the Sunnah, and we have proudly fulfilled that responsibility.
