Fadhili Program

Fadhili, which translates to kindness in Swahili, encompasses various charitable acts within the Islamic faith. One example of this is the distribution of food during the holy month of Ramadhan and the meat distribution during the Idd ul Adh’ha (hajj festival) across the country. Additionally, Fadhili includes acts such as Aqiqah, which is the Islamic tradition of sacrificing an animal in honor of a newborn, as well as any other form of donation that may be requested by a donor for a special occasion. These acts of kindness are in line with the principles and traditions of Islam and are an important aspect of the faith.

Ramadhan Annual Iftar Project

Distribution of food packs during the month of Ramadhan is a standing tradition for most if not all Islamic guided organizations all over the world. For us as Busara, this was the first initiative we took up and now, a standing annual tradition under our Fadhili programs.The practice is highly recommended for both religious reasons as well as strategic reasons.  According to the teachings of our prophet Muhammed (pbuh).Zayd ibn Khalid reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whoever helps break the fast of a fasting person, he will have the same reward as him without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person.” Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 807, Grade: Sahih These distribution exercises also give us a chance to interact with various communities countrywide and we can identify existing challenges that we may then tackle throughout the year.  From last year only, we were exposed to major clean water challenges in various regions including Kwale and Tana River, of which we have been working towards solving. We have so far had the opportunity to implement more than 20 shallow wells, 4 mosque renovation and various donations towards children’s homes.

Aqiqah and sadaqa

Under our Fadhili programs, Busara supports the Islamic practice of Aqiqah an important Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Aqiqah involves sacrificing an animal, usually a sheep, goat, or cow, on the 7th day after a child’s birth (or any day thereafter). The meat is shared with family, friends, and the poor as an expression of gratitude to Allah for the blessing of a newborn. This tradition reflects mercy, gratitude, and the joy of welcoming new life. Busara also facilitates meat distribution as sadaqa, another meaningful act of charity in Islam. Muslims often sacrifice an animal to give thanks for blessings such as securing a job, achieving a goal, or returning safely from travel following the example of the Prophet (peace be upon him), who offered sacrifice upon returning from journeys. The meat is shared with relatives or given to vulnerable families, strengthening community support. All animals used for Aqiqah or sadaqa must be healthy, meet the required age, and be slaughtered humanely before the meat is fairly distributed.

Udh’hiya Annual Program

Udhiya, also known as qurbani or dhabiha, is a religious practice in Islam that involves the sacrifice of an animal in remembrance of the sacrifice made by Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him). The act of sacrifice is done during the Islamic festival of Eid ul-Adha, which is celebrated by Muslims around the world. The practice of Udhiya is an important part of Islamic faith, and it is seen to show devotion to Allah and to remember the commitment of Prophet Ibrahim. Udhiya is a way to express gratitude to Allah for all the blessings bestowed upon us. It is a reminder of our commitment to the Divine and a way to demonstrate that we are willing to give up something that is precious to us. The act of sacrifice also shows that we understand the suffering of others and are willing to show compassion and mercy towards those who are less fortunate than us, aligning well with Busara’s objectives and vision.The animal chosen for sacrifice must be healthy, of a certain age, and of a certain gender. The most common animal chosen is a sheep, but it can also be a goat, a cow, or a camel. The animal must be slaughtered in a humane manner, and the meat must be divided.

In – Kind G​ifts

At Busara, gifting is one way to reach out to the community and spread hope and love. This can be in the form of clothes, shoes, school supp​lies, books and much more. Sharing gifts in a community is an important way to show appreciation, love, and gratitude for the people around us. Gifts are a way to show people that we care and that we are thinking of them. Not only do gifts demonstrate our feelings, but they also create a sense of community and connection.It could be a simple gesture like an inspirational card/message or something more elaborate like a gift box filled with treats or even furniture! Regardless, it is a way to show that we recognize them and acknowledge them. Gifts are a great way to show support and encouragement. When someone gives us a gift, it is a sign that they believe in us and want us to succeed. It is a sign that they believe in our dreams and want to help us reach our goals. This kind of recognition and support can be incredibly motivating and inspiring. Furthermore, gifts are a way to build meaningful relationships.
