Sending Nutritious Dates to Syrian Refugees during the upcoming Ramdan


Last Year We Helped Feed 20,000 Families

With all your help and support we raised enough to distribute 45 tons of dates which fed over 20,000 families during Ramadan! Please continue your support so that we can distribute even more dates this Ramadan!


Offer A Date and Save A Life!

Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians are starving. A numerous number of children and older people have died in the last a few weeks because of lack of food. "Syrians are suffering and dying across the country because starvation is being used as a weapon of war by both the Syrian government and armed groups," said Philip Luther, the Middle East director for Amnesty International.

It is, in away, a cruel forced fasting! We need to help these innocent civilians break the fast in order to gain energy on their way to achieving a healthy life again. in the spirit of the fast-approaching fasting month of Ramadan and following on the steps of our beloved prophet we will offer the starved and hungry people a very rich and nutritious Algerian dates.



Noour Inc and United Muslim Relief are joining hands to provide, deliver and distribute nutritious dates to the starved people of Syria. 

Noour inc. is the largest Deglet Noour dates importer, and distributor in the United State. Its Date farms and packing houses are located in southern Algeria.

United Muslim Relief is a registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. It is one of the fastest growing NGO’s in the United States. 

Dates for Syrian Refugees in Turkey and Syria

Our goal is to raise enough funds to cover the cost of six 40 ft containers of dates (market value of each container is $20,000 plus shipping charges). Using Noour's own packing houses in Algeria, we will be able to reduce the cost of each container to less than $25,000 shipping charges included). We can deliver all these containers in about 30 days to refugee camps in Turkey and then to refugee camps inside Syria.

Why Dates?

  • Offering dates to the hungry will bring much needed physical help to them and unlimited blessings to you.
  • So many rewards for offering Iftar to the fasting in Ramadan…...

( من فطر صائماً كان له مثل أجره غير أنه لا ينقص من أجر الصائم شيئاً ) 

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever gives iftaar to one who is fasting will have a reward like his, without that detracting from the reward of the fasting person in the slightest.” 

  • Just Imagine the reward you achieve in offering Iftar to the people who are forced to fast because of lack of food…….

في حديث مسلم عَنْ عَائِشَةَ -رضي الله عنها- قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ- صلى الله عنه وسلم :"يَا عَائِشَةُ بَيْتٌ لَا تَمْرَ فِيهِ جِيَاعٌ أَهْلُهُ، قَالَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا." ، هذا الحديث يتضمن إشارة بينة على دور التمر في منع الجوع، فالحقيقة العلمية تثبت أن للتمر أثرا كبيرا في رفع منسوب سكر الدم (الجلوكوز) ،  والذي يمتاز بسرعة امتصاصه في الجهاز الهضمي، الأمر الذي يظهر الحكمة في الإفطار على التمر لتعويض الجسم الانخفاض الحاصل في سكر الدم خلال ساعات الصيام.

In a Hadith narrated by Muslim, Prophet Mohamed ( PBUH) said to his wife Ayesha: "a house that has no dates is a house that has hungry people ." He repeated two or three times.This Hadith underscores the benefits of dates in overcoming hunger.

  • One of the many physical benefits of breaking the fast with dates is that our body benefits from the date’s high level of natural sugars. Dates are an ideal and healthy choice for fueling an empty body.
  • Dates are easily digested, making them a quick source of energy and nutrients.
  • Dates are also an excellent source of fiber, sugar, magnesium, potassium, and have carbohydrates which will aid the body in maintaining health.
