There are Muslims in the UK with crying needs shamefully neglected. Please let us not forget them as it is our duty before Allah to attend to the needs of one another at home as first priority.

All four Schools of Law (madhab) agree that Zakat should NOT be generally distributed elsewhere if deserving candidates are found within the country where it is collected. Doing so is MAKRUH according to them all. Please read on to find out how your Zakat can be most effectively given in the UK.

Alms are for the poor, and the needy, and those employed to administer the (funds); for those whose hearts need to be reconciled; for those in bondage, and in debt; in the cause of Allah; and for the wayfarer: (thus is it) ordained by Allah, and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom. [Surah at-Tawbah Ayah 60]

We make sure each person who receives Zakat genuinely deserves it in the UK.

Those who receive Zakat are selected from the following categories:

1.      Reverts facing difficulties after accepting Islam often coming into the Deen with huge financial debts

2.      Muslim women on the streets, homeless and penniless

3.      Muslim asylum seekers and refugees facing a harsh life of severe restrictions of work and varying measures of hostility

4.      Muslims turning away from faith or victims of missionary efforts here

5.      Muslims who are at the point of eviction or repossession

6.      Deprived families with breadwinners who have lost their means of income

7.      Individuals suffering from crushing debts

8.      Struggling single parent families

9.      People with end to end difficulties of homelessness

10. Economic hardships of Muslim foreign students

11. People whose hearts need to be reconciled who are almost completely overlooked by all major relief and aid organizations in the UK.
