Kuala lumpur: The Infaq Ramadan Programme, organised by the Pilgrims' Fund Board (Tabung Haji - TH) in collaboration with TH mosques and suraus, successfully raised over RM270,000 in donations and distributed more than 900 infaq boxes throughout Ramadan 1447H/2026. The initiative focused on welfare and spiritual activities to support those in need while enhancing the spirit of Ramadan.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, contributions were directed to various groups, including Islamic education institutions, orphanages, elderly care centres, asnaf groups, persons with disabilities, and new converts across Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley. TH Group Managing Director and CEO Mustakim Mohamad highlighted that the annual programme, which began in 2022, aims to encourage staff participation in charitable efforts and strengthen community ties.
Mustakim stated, "The Infaq Ramadan Programme is an important platform to foster a spirit of generosity and compassion, especially during this blessed month. Ramadan is the best time to increase acts of charity and strengthen relationships. Through this initiative, TH hopes to ease the burden of those in need while nurturing a caring and supportive society."
TH also enhanced community engagement through the Semarak Ihya Ramadan Programme at its mosques and suraus. This included daily activities such as iftar gatherings, tahlil ceremonies, tarawih prayers, and moreh, which saw strong participation from both staff and the local community.
A notable event was the 'Road to Fitrah' breaking-of-fast, held in collaboration with the Malaysian Islamic Welfare Organisation (PERKIM) at Dewan Besar TH, attended by 120 muallaf. The event featured the distribution of duit raya and infaq boxes and witnessed a non-Muslim embracing Islam.
Additionally, TH organised spiritual programmes like the Ambang Ramadan initiative, weekly Ramadan capsules, a Khatam Quran ceremony, and the TH Quran Hour, with 913 participants from 142 tadarus groups. These sessions began as early as Rejab 1447H under the Rejab, Syaaban and Ramadan 2026 Programme.
Mustakim affirmed TH's commitment to expanding such initiatives in the future, reinforcing its role as a leading Islamic institution in supporting and uplifting the community.
