  The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “It is the Sunnah of your father Ibrahim (as). For every hair of the Qurbani you receive a reward from Allah (swt)” [Tirmidhi] Qurbani  translates as ‘sacrifice’, and the tradition of Qurbani is a sacred sacrifice that Muslims make every year. In the twelfth and final month of the Islamic calendar, Dhul Hijjah, Muslims everywhere slaughter an animal — a goat, sheep, cow, buffalo or camel — to honour and commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s (as) steadfastness in faith and willingness to sacrifice his beloved son Ismail (as), for the sake of God. In 2022, your Qurbani donation means more than ever, and at Muslim Charity, we aim to reach even more people in need. With every  Qurbani donation  to Muslim Charity, a healthy animal is sacrificed in line with Shariah guidelines and Qurbani rules. The meat is then distributed to needy and vulnerable communities, helping to spread the blessings of Eid-ul-Adha, while also tackling hunger. The history of your sa...

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." 1. What is Zakat? Zakat is the Islamic practice of giving to the needy. Zakat is voluntary, and it is not a tax. Zakat is a way of life that is practiced by Muslims worldwide.

Zakat is an important part of Islam, and it is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The Five Pi...

  Why are donors in the UK helping rescue street children? 1.5 million children in Bangladesh are living on the street tonight. With your help, we can protect them, bring them to safety and save them.     The 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 ar...
