Maximise Your Blessings: Schedule Your Donations for the Best 10 Days
"There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days." [Sahih Bukhari]
Don’t Miss the Best Days of the Year!
We know you want to make the most of the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah -the most blessed days of the entire year. But remembering to donate every single day can be a challenge.
We’ve made it simple. You make one single donation today, and we do the rest. We take your gift and split it equally across the ten days of Dhul Hijjah (or the remaining days left), ensuring you have a hand in changing lives every single day of this sacred season.
It’s 100% automated, 100% impactful, and 100% rewarding.
With Penny Appeal’s Automated Giving, you can transform your small change into a big difference for our brothers and sisters around the world. By setting up a regular donation to our 'Where Most Needed' fund, you ensure that when an emergency strikes or a community cries out for help, we are already there to answer.
Your Impact: Where Your Money Goes
When you give to our 'Where Most Needed' fund during Dhul Hijjah, your donation doesn't just sit still. It moves fast to support our most critical life-saving appeals. By splitting your gift, you’ll be providing a lifeline across all our key projects:
- Thirst Relief: Building wells and systems for thirsty communities.
- Feed Our World: Feeding hungry families and children.
- Hifz Orphan/ OrphanKind: Providing a future for children who have lost everything
- Build a Mosque: Building houses of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) and supporting spiritual hubs.
- Emergency Response: Helping survivors of war and natural disasters.
Choose Your Level of Blessing
Select an amount to be split across the ten days. For example, a £100 donation means £10 of Sadaqah is working for you every single day!
- £50 – Just £5 a day to provide essential aid.
- £100 – A powerful £10 daily Sadaqah to transform lives.
- £250 – A massive £25 daily contribution to our global appeals.
- £500 – An incredible £50 a day to build a lasting legacy.
- Custom Amount – Choose any amount you wish to split.
Why These Days Matter
"...and mention the name of Allah on appointed days over what He has provided for them... So, eat of them and feed the miserable and poor." — The Holy Qur’an, 22:28
The "appointed days" of Dhul Hijjah are a gift from Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى), offering us a chance to multiply our rewards through sacrifice and charity. These days include:
- The Day of Arafah: The best day of the year, where rewards are multiplied and sins are forgiven.
- The Day of Nahar (Eid): A day of sacrifice and immense gratitude.
By automating your gift, you guarantee that you are giving on Arafah, on Eid, and every moment in between.

This is the impact of your generosity. Together, we have provided food, water and vital support to those who need it most. Every donation, whether Sadaqah or Zakat, helps alleviate suffering and restore hope to communities facing unimaginable hardship.
We always aim to use your donation as intended. If you have selected ‘where most needed’, your donation will go to the country with the greatest need at the time, guided by our experts and local partners, while still supporting your chosen appeal. If we cannot use your donation as you intended, it will fund similar projects in the same country or region.
Does my Dhul Hijjah donation count as Sadaqah Jariyah?
Yes! When you give to our ‘Where Most Needed’ fund, your donation often supports long-term, sustainable projects like building deep-water wells, or constructing Mosques. These are forms of Sadaqah Jariyah, meaning you earn rewards every time a person drinks clean water or offers a prayer in that Masjid. By giving during the best ten days of the year, you are combining the maximum reward of the season with the continuous reward of ongoing charity, creating a legacy of blessings that lasts for years to come.
How does the 10-day automated giving split work?
Our automated giving tool is designed for your ease. When you make a single donation (e.g., £100), we don’t just spend it all at once. We securely hold your gift and allocate it in equal instalments (e.g., £10 per day) across the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah. This ensures that you gain the reward of giving charity every single day, including the high-reward Day of Arafah and Eid al-Adha, without having to remember to log on daily.
Can I still automate my donation if Dhul Hijjah has already started?
Yes, absolutely! If you’ve missed the first few days, you can still catch the remaining blessings. If you donate on Day 4, for example, your total donation will be split equally across the remaining 6 or 7 days of the period. This ensures your contribution is spread out over the most sacred time left, maximizing your impact before the window of opportunity closes.
Is my Dhul Hijjah donation Zakat-eligible?
Yes! Our ‘Where Most Needed’ fund is carefully managed to support projects that meet Zakat criteria. This includes providing life-saving food packs, clean water to the destitute, and essential support for orphans (Hifz Orphan and OrphanKind). By choosing this fund, you are helping us respond to the most urgent humanitarian crises with your Zakat or Sadaqah, reaching those who need it most.
What is the reward for giving Sadaqah on the Day of Arafah?
The Day of Arafah is the heart of the year and the pinnacle of the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah. It is a day when Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) descends to the lowest heaven and expresses His pride in His servants. Giving charity on this day is incredibly powerful, as it coincides with a time when sins are forgiven and rewards are multiplied. By using our automated tool, you guarantee that you won’t miss the chance to give on this most sacred day.
