How Al Kamil embodies the spirit of giving
Charitable acts during Ramadhan are not merely obligations; they embody the core values of solidarity and cooperation encouraged by Islam. During this time, the desire to make a meaningful impact leads people to actively seek causes that resonate with them, creating a vibrant tapestry of kindness across communities.
The Al Kamil Wal Wafi charity team is at the forefront of this spirit, working diligently to enhance charitable initiatives that support vulnerable individuals and families. As demand for humanitarian aid rises during Ramadhan, the team has committed itself to raising awareness about the significance of charitable work and encouraging community involvement.
Sheikh Hamad Al Hashimi, the founder, shares that the initiative aims not only to provide immediate assistance but also to empower struggling families to achieve self-sufficiency.
Beginning as a personal endeavour, Sheikh Hamad's vision has since thrived, attracting a dedicated group of young volunteers. With support from Sheikh Saud bin Badr Al Barwani, the former governor of the region, the team's efforts have expanded significantly, fostering a culture of volunteerism among the youth.
Throughout Ramadhan, the team implements various projects, such as distributing Iftar meals at designated locations and providing food baskets through vouchers or complete packages. In partnership with the local Zakat Committee, they offer financial support to unemployed individuals, demonstrating their commitment to uplifting those in need. Furthermore, the welfare of orphans is a focal point, as the team provides monthly sponsorships and launches community awareness campaigns to boost charitable giving.
Their initiatives do not cease with the end of Ramadhan; they continue beyond the holy month through sustainable projects aimed at long-term support. These efforts include ongoing orphan sponsorship, providing financial aid for low-income families, assisting with rent and utility bills, and running community service camps. They also focus on offering medical aid, vocational training programmes—such as sewing workshops—and support for the elderly and people with disabilities. Their comprehensive approach reflects a steadfast dedication to making a lasting difference in society.
How Al Kamil embodies the spirit of giving
The team's activities rely on a multi-faceted funding strategy that encompasses backing from the Oman Charitable Organization, which supports their Iftar initiatives, and partnerships with the Al Yusr Charity Foundation. Regular contributions from private companies, such as the Natural Fertilizer Company and local gas firms, along with generous individuals and philanthropists, play a crucial role in sustaining their operations. The team also collaborates with other charitable organisations in Muscat, facilitated by the Ministry of Social Development and the Social Development Committee at the Governor's Office. This collaboration ensures that their reach and effectiveness continue to expand.
As they gaze towards the future, the Al Kamil Wal Wafi charity team is eager to implement sustainable investment projects, such as establishing a charitable endowment to ensure the longevity of their volunteer efforts. They aim to refine their administrative structures, bolster financial and technological resources, and continually evaluate their impact through public opinion surveys and assessments from the Ministry of Social Development. Sheikh Hamad Al Hashimi emphasises that the foundation of their success lies within the community itself; public awareness and support are vital for the continuation of their charitable initiatives.
To make a donation, individuals can contribute through the Jood platform via a dedicated link or by making direct bank deposits into the team's accounts. The Al Kamil Wal Wafi charity team remains unwavering in its mission to promote the spirit of solidarity during Ramadhan, addressing essential community needs and reinforcing the belief that charitable work is a shared responsibility—a collective effort crucial for its sustainability and growth.

Bukhari feted for selfless service with global human rights award
MUSCAT: Syed Shaandar Ali Shah Bukhari, a well-known social worker in Muscat, has been awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by the International Human Rights Movement (IHRM). The prestigious recognition honours Bukhari's tireless efforts in humanitarian work, including the repatriation of prisoners, aiding the disabled, assisting in returning deceased individuals to their home countries, facilitating blood donations and supporting the underprivileged. A silent force of good in the community, Bukhari has long worked without seeking recognition, guided by a deep sense of duty and empathy. This award, he says, is more than a personal achievement - it is a continuation of a legacy of service passed down by his late father, a revered figure in Oman's social welfare circles. At the heart of Bukhari's work are the teachings of Islam and the enduring words of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): 'Whoever alleviates the suffering of a believer, Allah will alleviate their suffering on the Day of Judgment.' His approach has always been inclusive — reaching out to those in need regardless of background, status, or belief. 'Oman has given me so much, and I want to give back through charity. This recognition from IHRM is a tribute to the generosity of this nation, its leadership and its people,' said Bukhari. He expressed hope that his efforts would reflect the spirit of Oman's humanitarian traditions and inspire others to give back in their own ways. This award also stands as a homage to his late father's teachings. 'My father always taught me that true wealth is not measured by possessions, but by the positive change you bring to others' lives,' he said. The IHRM plays a key role in recognising and supporting individuals who exemplify the spirit of humanitarian service. This recognition was made possible with the support of IHRM President Rana Basharat Ali and Ambassador M Nadeem Raza. As Bukhari continues his mission, he hopes to inspire a new generation of changemakers: 'We all have the power to make a difference. Whether it's a small gesture or a large act of kindness, every action counts.'
