Your Zakat is an Amanah upon us, a trust that we hold ourselves accountable to under the command of the Most Merciful. Give your Zakat in the holy month of Ramadan and multiply your reward by 70 times.
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,“…whoever discharges an obligatory deed in (this month) shall receive the reward of performing seventy obligations at any other time." (Ibn Khuzaymah)
Zakat keeps us accountable for our wealth
Zakat is our reminder that our comfort is a gift from Allah, one that we are accountable for. Every penny we spend should do no harm in the world, but our wealth should also contribute to making the world fairer. By giving Zakat, we purify our wealth as commanded by Allah to our responsibilities to His gift, and to the ummah.
Entrust your Zakat to our 32 years of experience in fulfilling this pillar of Islam. Our Zakat Fund is scholar-verified, and entirely Sharia-compliant.
As Muslims, giving Zakat ensures that 2.5% of our surplus wealth is shared with those who are struggling to survive. It is a beautiful pillar of our faith, which spreads Allah’s bounty and mercy not only to those who receive Zakat charity but also to those who give it.
Islamically, a portion of Zakat can legitimately be given to cover the cost of getting it to where you intended, but if you’d like to ensure that 100% of your donation goes to those in greatest need then please donate to our Zakat Fund and check the Gift Aid box at checkout.
