Ramadan Greetings from The Barakat Trust
At this time of continued global lockdown and changes due to COVID-19, we hope you stay safe!
We need your support more than ever with our fundraising activities in 2020 having been severely affected by the pandemic.
But despite COVID, we found inspiration in developing our podcasts in partnership with Asia House. If you are looking to be inspired during Ramadan while not re-listen to some our podcasts below.

The Kaaba is the sanctuary at the heart of Mecca, in present-day Saudi Arabia, where millions of pilgrims head each year, and towards which the world’s 1.8 billion Muslims pray.
Join Dr Simon O’Meara for a fascinating conversation about the Kaaba and the different ways Muslims have written about it and depicted it over the centuries.
