Our Humanitarian Work
Our Humanitarian Work
Helping the less fortunate around the world
One of Noor Ul Islam’s main aim is the prevention or relief of poverty.
By working with reputable international aid agencies we have been able to collect much needed funds from our supporters and distribute this to those in desperate need of our help.
We have collected and distributed funds for Zakat, Fitra, Fidya, Qurbani and emergency disasters.
The aid agencies we work with furnish us with reports and photographs to give us and our supporters confidence that funds are being distributed correctly.
We regularly display reports and photographs of our overseas work at Noor Ul Islam mosque.
Below are a selection of some of the projects we have worked on recently.
Noor Ul Islam Staff
Sindh - Pakistan
In 2019, Br Zafar from our Head office visited the Thar region in Sindh Pakistan, where he distributed food packs and aid to the poor and needy on behalf of Noor Ul Islam. The region suffers from poverty, lack of clean drinking water, unemployment and high illiteracy rates. Much of the area is rural and inaccessible and it is one of the most under-developed districts in Pakistan with no electricity and no roads.
"Indeed, those men and women who give in charity and lend to Allah a good loan will have it multiplied for them, and they will have an honourable reward.
(Quran 57:18)
