We understand your Zakat is not just a donation, it is an act of worship ordered upon us by Allah (swt) to help ease the suffering of less fortunate men, women, and children around the world. By trusting us with your Zakat, you will not only be fulfilling your religious obligation, but you will also be helping tackle poverty and saving lives around the world.

Nearly all our projects are Zakat-eligible. From building water wells in remote villages to giving widows the tools they need to feed their families, from providing urgent humanitarian relief in refugee camps to sponsoring disadvantaged orphans – we are committed to delivering your Zakat to those who are eligible and need it the most.

When Salimata Traore’s husband died, her family was left without a breadwinner, and she was forced to raise her daughter, Setou alone. With no proper job or income, Salimata struggled to put food on the table and there were days when her family did not eat at all. 

Thanks to generous donors like you, we were able to enroll Salimata’s daughter at the Muslim Hands School of Excellence in Bamako, where she has been studying for more than a  year now.

We could also help Salimata financially, by opening a shop for her. Her shop sells skin and hair products and allows Salimata to earn an income and support her family. 

When Diakaridia Samake’s father died, he and his family were plunged into poverty and left with little hope for the future. His mother struggled to raise her young family in the village of Tienfala, Mali and eight-year-old Diakaridia had to go out and work as a bike mechanic to support his family.

With your Zakat contributions, our teams were able to save Diakaridia from a life of child labour and instead give him an education. We enrolled him at a local school where he now receives the best education as well as free meals and quality healthcare.

Diakaridia’s life has been transformed and he now has dreams, ambitions, and hope for the future. Education is a passport to a brighter future and the sky is now the limit for children like  Diakaridia. 

The beauty of Zakat is its ability to save lives and change the world we live in forever. 

As Muslims, we believed that Zakat purifies our wealth, not only physically, but also spiritually. It also softens our hearts against selfishness and builds a relationship of consideration and appreciation between the rich and poor. It helps protect some of the neediest communities from hunger, thirst and disease and a life trapped in the cycle of poverty.

We know that calculating your Zakat and getting your head around the basics can be difficult, so we have created a simple illustrated guide. You’ll find answers to some of your most common questions and clarification on the main misconceptions about Zakat.
