We're building a nationwide network of support powered by Zakat.

Our focus is to manage local Zakat, the third pillar of Islam, according to the Quran and Sunnah. As a local Zakat institute, we are more than just an Islamic charity.

Your Zakat assists Muslims struggling to cover basic needs. Many in Australia urgently require support, and we are distributing your Zakat to alleviate local need and build a structured community.
