Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, is an obligation for every eligible Muslim to contribute a portion of their wealth to those in need. Our Zakat Program is dedicated to responsibly collecting and distributing these funds, ensuring that they reach the most vulnerable members of our Canadian community. We understand that Zakat is more than just a donation—it’s a sacred trust.

Our program is a lifeline for individuals and families facing emergency situations, from financial hardship and job loss to food insecurity and legal issues. We believe that by fulfilling this sacred obligation, we can work together to alleviate suffering, restore dignity, and build a more compassionate society for all.
