As-salamu Alaikum,

Ramadan Mubarak! On behalf of Muslim Climate Watch, I extend my heartfelt prayers for a blessed month filled with peace, reflection, and renewal for you and your loved ones. As we gather in the spirit of this sacred season, we’re honoured to share our theme for Ramadan 2025: Tafa’ul تَفَأُّل – faithful optimism.

Tafa’ul embodies optimism and a positive outlook on life, no matter the circumstances. In these times of uncertainty—marked by escalating climate crises and challenges to environmental activism across the U.S.—this theme reflects our unwavering belief in the power of faith and collective action to create change. Rooted in Islamic values of stewardship (Khilafah) and justice (Adl), we choose Tafa’ul to inspire hope and resilience as we work toward a greener, more equitable future.

At Muslim Climate Watch, this Ramadan is a call to action. We’re channelling faithful optimism into our mission to empower Muslim communities as leaders in climate justice. From greening mosques across the U.S. to amplifying diverse voices nationwide, we’re building a movement that honours our planet and our faith.

We need your support to make this vision a reality. Our live Ramadan campaign on LaunchGood, “Help Us Build a Muslim Climate Justice Movement,” is raising funds to kickstart transformative projects in 2025. Every dollar you give plants a seed of hope—whether it’s equipping a mosque with sustainable tools, sharing a climate story, or uniting communities for action.

Your generosity this Ramadan can turn optimism into impact. A $25 gift could fund eco-resources for a mosque. $50 could amplify a voice for justice. Together, we can rise above today’s challenges with Tafa’ul as our guide.

As we fast, pray, and give, let’s believe that our efforts—however small—ripple outward to heal our Earth and uplift our ummah. Thank you for standing with us. May Allah (SWT) accept your deeds and bless you with a Ramadan of peace and purpose.

Ramadan Mubarak,

Nazish Qureshi
