Islam Channel Bangla has gone from strength to strength since its launch in October 2022. In its first Ramadan, the channel has received a great response from the community and last night on 27th Ramadan, it witnessed the incredible generosity of its viewers. Last night’s live appeal by charity partner, Muslim Hands raised over £1.45 million to help the people of Syria, Palestine and Yemen.
Yasrab Shah, Director of Fundraising for Muslim Hands said: “We are incredibly humbled every year by the sheer generosity of our donors on the 27th night of Ramadan, the Night of Power. It’s truly a joy to share that with our media partners Islam Channel on their various channels. May Allah (SWT) reward them all with great goodness in this world and the next, Amin!”
