Bashir Timol, Trustee at 1st Ethical Charitable Trust said, “We are very pleased with the new guide alhamdulillah and believe it will play a key role in demystifying the complexities of Zakat for the Muslim community. We are also proud to be partnering with the National Zakat Foundation, a groundbreaking charity that is doing fantastic work on the ground in the UK by collecting and distributing Zakat to local, deserving recipients.”

We pray that this product serves as a useful tool for the community and that it brings us all one step closer to fulfilling the critical pillar of Zakat with excellence insha’Allah.”
