The current economic situation in Pakistan has left many lives devastated, plunging people into desperation. 36% of the population now live in severe poverty. With your donations, Al-Wahab Foundation provides essentials such as food and water to support communities across Pakistan. Donate your Zakat today.
Giving Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and a redistribution of wealth to those in the world who are less fortunate. Donation brings immense reward to the believer as an obligation for those who can afford it. It is one of the most efficient tools in tackling social inequality and fighting poverty – Your donation can help us to provide food, water, education and much more to help those in need. Donate to Al-Wahab Foundation and join us in keeping hopes alive.
Zakat is the third pillar of our faith. It ensures our wealth is used to support the poorest and most marginalised in our community, who have a right over it. This is Fard (an obligation) for every Muslim adult, who is mentally sane and has a certain amount of wealth (Nisab) at 2.5% of their savings—once a year.
“The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoy what is just and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, pay and obey Allah and His Messenger.” (Holy Qur’an 9:71)
There are eight categories of people eligible to receive Zakat: the poor who are in financial distress, the needy who are in financial need, the administrators of Zakat or Zakat Collectors appointed by the State, those who have recently converted to Islam and need help, Zakat given to end slavery, those in debt, given in the name of God, and travellers, including refugees.
“My name is Janib Ali and I live in Ghoas Buksh, Sindh. Most of the people in our community are short on financial means and we barely make ends meet. Sometimes it gets difficult to provide even the most basic necessities for our families so when it comes to building a proper mosque, it is so unfortunate that we cannot make up for it. However, Al-Wahab Foundation built this beautiful and spacious mosque in our village. It’s like a gift from Allah (SWT) for all of us as we don’t have to go far off, outside the village to pray in a Jamaat (congregation). We cannot thank Muti Abdul Wahab and Al-Wahab Foundation for this gift”
With your Zakat, Al-Wahab Foundation can reach those in greatest of need, providing lifesaving and life-changing aid. So far, it has delivered clean drinking water to over 200,000 people and fed over 100,000 people through our Iftar and cooked meals programme across rural Pakistan.
Since our beginning, Al-Wahab Foundation has always considered an Amanah in the sight of Allah (SWT). We strive to run long-lasting, impactful projects with your Zakat donations, helping communities to break the poverty cycle and maximising your blessings.
