Fulfil Your Zakat: A Pillar of Compassion
Zakat, the third pillar of Islam, is an obligatory annual charity that purifies your wealth and provides vital support to those in need. For all able Muslims whose wealth exceeds the nisab threshold, contributing 2.5% of your eligible assets is not optional—it is a spiritual duty and a powerful act of compassion. By fulfilling this noble obligation, you not only purify your wealth but also provide crucial relief and assistance to the poor and destitute around the world.

We operate in Yemen, Palestine, and East Africa, delivering life-saving aid to families suffering from conflict, drought, hunger, and famine.
