Zakat, Sadaqah and Iftar: Islamic Charities

For a Muslim, helping others is not just an impulse but also a duty. Zakat is the right of those in need to a share of your wealth; sadaqah is kindness given from the heart without expecting thanks; and sadaqah jariyah keeps doing good for years - a well a whole village drinks from, a mosque, a madrasa. The charities gathered here help you pay zakat and zakat al-fitr, give sadaqah, feed those who fast at iftar during Ramadan, and offer qurban, whose meat goes to families in need.

Behind all of this are real people: a widow raising her children alone, orphans, families hit by disaster, elderly people with no one to turn to. These charities support the Muslim community and its social projects, build mosques and dig wells where there is no clean water.

When you give zakat, you want to know it has reached those it is meant for. That is why every charity on Tooba is verified: documents, finances, spending reports. You choose what your donation is for - zakat, sadaqah or a specific project.
