Automate Your Donations for the 10 Days of Dhul Hijjah

The 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are here, and they will not wait. These are the days the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ described as the most beloved to Allah for righteous deeds. Every prayer, every fast, every act of remembrance, and every pound of Sadaqah you give in these days carries a weight unlike any other time of year.

But life doesn’t pause for sacred seasons. Work deadlines, family commitments, and the simple forgetfulness of busy days can cause even the most well-intentioned Muslim to miss day after day, and then suddenly, the ten days are gone.

That’s exactly why automating your donations is one of the smartest spiritual decisions you can make this Dhul Hijjah. Set it once. Give every day. And let the reward flow, uninterrupted, across all ten blessed days.

Why Automate Rather Than Give Manually?

Giving manually is beautiful when you remember. But the reality is that consistency is hard to maintain, especially across ten consecutive days that fall during ordinary working life.

Here’s what automation protects you from:

• Missing days due to a busy schedule, travel, or simply forgetting
• Giving in a rush at the end without sincerity or reflection
• Uneven giving — donating a lot one day and nothing for three days after
• The guilt of reaching Day 10 knowing you gave up on only two or three days

Automation is not a shortcut; it is a tool for consistency. And consistency is precisely what Islam honours. The Prophet ﷺ said: “The most beloved deeds to Allah are those done consistently, even if they are small.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 6464). A small daily donation, given every single day of Dhul Hijjah, is far more beloved in the sight of Allah than a large single donation given once.

Is Automated Sadaqah Still Valid? Does the Niyyah Count?

This is the question many Muslims ask, and the answer is a clear, reassuring yes.

In Islam, the niyyah (intention) is formed in the heart, not at the moment of physical transaction. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Actions are by intentions.”  (Sahih al-Bukhari, 1). When you sit down, visit the Al Qulub Trust Dhul Hijjah page, choose your causes, and set up your automated giving, that moment is your niyyah. You are consciously, sincerely, and deliberately dedicating those funds as Sadaqah for the sake of Allah during the most blessed days of the year.

The fact that the transaction processes automatically on subsequent days does not diminish its validity. Scholars affirm that a standing instruction given with sincere intention remains spiritually active. Think of it like a standing order to a masjid; your niyyah at the point of setup carries through each subsequent payment.

What matters is that your heart is present at the point of decision. And when you automate your Dhul Hijjah giving intentionally, your heart most certainly is.

What Causes Can You Automate Donations Toward?

Al Qulub Trust’s Dhul Hijjah giving tool allows you to split your daily donations across multiple causes simultaneously, so your giving reaches the people who need it most, in the areas closest to your heart.

Available causes include:

• Palestine Emergency Appeal — urgent humanitarian relief for families affected by the ongoing conflict
• Yemen Emergency Appeal — food, water, and medical aid for one of the world’s longest-running crises
• Lebanon Emergency Appeal — support for displaced families and essential services
• Orphan Sponsorship — providing education, nutrition, and care for vulnerable children
• Water & Sanitation — clean water projects that save lives and carry Sadaqah Jariyah reward
• Food Security — feeding families facing hunger across crisis zones
• Healthcare — funding medical treatment for those who cannot afford it
• Masjid Build — contributing to a house of Allah, with ongoing reward for every prayer prayed within it
• General Donation — directed where the need is greatest

You can choose one cause or divide your daily donation across several. The tool handles the split automatically — giving you the freedom to give broadly and generously across the ten days without needing to log in every morning.

Step-by-Step: How to Set Up Your Automated Dhul Hijjah Donations

To automate your donations for the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah, visit Al Qulub Trust’s dedicated Dhul Hijjah giving page, choose your preferred appeals, set your daily donation amount, select your start date, and confirm your split. Your donations will then be distributed automatically across all ten blessed days, so you never miss a single one.

Setting up your automated giving takes less than five minutes. Here’s exactly how to do it:

Step 1 — Visit the Dhul Hijjah Giving Page. Go to the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah. This is Al Qulub Trust’s dedicated tool for automated giving across the ten blessed days.

Step 2 — Choose Your Appeals Browse the available causes and select the ones you want your donation to support. You can pick one cause or multiple — the choice is entirely yours.

Step 3 — Set Your Daily Amount: Decide how much you want to give each day. Even £1 per day — £10 across the ten days is a meaningful, consistent act of worship. There is no minimum requirement; give what you sincerely can.

Step 4 — Select Your Split If you’ve chosen multiple causes, decide how you’d like your daily amount to be distributed between them. For example, £5/day split equally between Palestine Emergency and Orphan Sponsorship.

Step 5 — Choose Your Start Date Select the first day of Dhul Hijjah as your start date so your giving begins right at the opening of this sacred season and runs through all ten days automatically.

Step 6 — Confirm and Complete Review your selections and complete the setup. From this point, your donation will process daily — automatically — across every one of the ten blessed days. You’ll receive confirmation of each transaction, so you can reflect on your giving with gratitude.

That’s it. Ten days of consistent Sadaqah, set up in minutes, earning reward every single day.

Make These Ten Days Count — Starting Today

The 10 days of Dhul Hijjah are among the rarest gifts Allah places before a believer each year. They arrive, they pass, and they do not return until the next Dhul Hijjah, if you are here to see it.

Don’t leave your giving to chance. Don’t trust that you’ll remember on Day 3, Day 6, and Day 9. Set your intention now, automate your Sadaqah, and spend these ten days focused on what truly matters: worship, dhikr, fasting, and gratitude, while your charity flows quietly and consistently to those who need it most.
