Zakat for Students
Organised by Cambridge Islamic CollegeCambridge Islamic College has identified key recipients of Zakat in the West. One of these groups are students who are keen to devote themselves to serving the Deen and the community.
Story
By virtue of our position in the community, we at Cambridge Islamic College have seen a great need in the community for a group of people to receive Zakat.
Muslim Students:
We meet many students who are keen to devote themselves to studying and serving their Deen. But, because of financial circumstances, they are forced to abandon this dream in favour of a more stable lifestyle. Those were potentially the thought leaders of the future who could have illuminated and guided our society with their knowledge, had we only given them the chance they deserved. We want to provide such talented and dedicated students with the opportunity to study, regardless of their financial circumstances. Therefore we have set up the Cambridge Zakat Fund.
For our current situation in the West, one of the priority groups for Zakat is Muslim students - Dr Mohammad Akram Nadwi
