100% Zakat Donations

WHAT IS ZAKAT?

Zakat is an annual charitable payment that is compulsory for Muslims. Your zakat will go on to benefit those who need it most.

ZAKAT IS ONE OF THE FIVE PILLARS OF ISLAM

Your Zakat is a beautiful pillar of Islam that we will ensure goes to the most needy. This includes care for orphans and the elderly, providing food and water to those who lack these resources, delivering healthcare and education, or emergency aid to those stuck by disaster.
