The Zakat Calculator: A Simple Tool to Help You Calculate Zakat
Zakat is one of the pillars of Islam, which is the practice of giving a mandatory portion of one's total wealth to the needy. This is a critical part of Islam and it is imperative that Muslims understand the importance of giving Zakat. The Quran states: "Those who have been given their wealth in full, and have not overstepped their limit, and have not made their own hands wealthy, and have not made their own wealth grow by unjust means, Zakat is to be taken from them."

Looking for the perfect place to sponsor an orphan child
In Islam, we are taught of the importance of treating orphans well and caring for them. In the Holy Qur’an, the word ‘orphan’ is mentioned 22 times. It is considered majorly sinful to treat an orphan with disdain, while we reap rewards and blessings for caring and nurturing them. Orphans and widows are among those who can receive Zakat, and support in this way can really make the world of difference for them.

Our Rescue a Child project is a lifeline for many innocent children
he UN estimates that there are 150 million children living on the street. This is perhaps a conservative estimate, as reporting and recording is very difficult, and the real figure is thought to be much higher. They are living in fear, without protection, food or hope for their futures. They are at huge risk of exploitation, abuse, forced prostitution, trafficking, forced labour and slavery.
As one of the major charities for street children, we support street children in Bangladesh and Pakistan.
In Bangladesh, over 50% of the population live below the poverty line, which can lead to an increase in child abandonment and suffering. It is estimated that in the capital city, Dhaka, more than 500,000 street children are living on the street. There are accounts of children getting caught up in gang disputes and violence, carrying weapons and taking part in illegal activities. https://muslimcharity.org.uk/charities-for-streetchildren/
