  Street children are one of the most marginalised and vulnerable groups in society around the world. They live in huge threat, and often do not get the support they desperately need. According to UN estimates and reports, there are approximately 150 million children living on the street around the world. In reality, the figure is likely to be much higher, as so much is unreported and undiscovered.

  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...

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.

But, they who are endowed with knowledge and faith, and who spend their wealth in the way of Allah, they are the heirs." Zakat is an important part of Islam, and it is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The Five Pi...
