At www.Islamic-Charity.com we are concerned with the fundraising for various charitable projects. Our projects are wide ranging, and many involve the welfare of orphans and children who are in desperate need of assistance. You can find out about our projects by visiting our projects page, and learn more about how we can work together to help others.

As the plight of innocent children pulls on the heartstrings of all of us we are reaching out to the muslim and non-muslim community alike. We therefore need to plan various strategies in order to increase the awareness of our work amongst all social groups.

Comfort Aid International


CAI is a partnership of individuals working with existing charitable infrastructures to bring relief to poor and destitute Muslims in third world countries in general and India in particular. With three structured projects underway in India, and tree more slated to go live in 2005, CAI touches the lives hundreds of world's poorest people. Whether supporting education, primary health care, or housing with running water and electricity, our programs promote positive and lasting change and reduce long-term dependency.

Apart from humanitarian needs, which are the primary focus, CAI also builds mosques and imambarghas, especially to new Shia converts, displaced due to their new faith. This is evident in West Bengal, where the need is of great urgency

CAI also provides emergency food and shelter to survivors of natural disasters, and Allah forbid, wars and conflicts, if the situation permits. We hope to remain with communities long after initial relief efforts are completed and support initiatives to enable people to rebuild their lives and to face the future with renewed confidence.

Lady Fatemah Trust


"And whoever saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the entire people."
Holy Quran, 5:35

The world has never been as rich as it is today, yet over one billion people suffer from extreme poverty.

The Lady Fatemah Trust is a non-profit, non-governmental and faith-based humanitarian organisation whose mission is to empower the world's poorest to lift them out of poverty with dignity. We believe that the eradication of poverty is not only a matter of conscience; it is a prerequisite for the security and prosperity of humanity at large and that freedom from poverty is a fundamental human right.

The charity's primary purpose is to undertake manageable and sustainable projects that can make a real difference to individuals and communities, enabling them to improve their lives. We help people in need to reduce their dependence on humanitarian aid and facilitate their transition to sustainable self-reliant, long-term development.

"Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life."
Nelson Mandela

why charity?

قالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (ص) :
لاتَزالُ أُمَّتي بِخَيرٍ مَالَم يَتَخَاوَنُوا، وَ اَدَّوُا الأََمانَةَ، وَ آتَوُا الزَّكاةَ، وَ إذا لَم يَفعَلُوا ذلِكَ اُبْتُلُوا بِالقَحْطِ وَالسِّنِينَ

وسائل الشيعة/6/13

The Holy Prophet [p.b.u.h.] said: "My community will continue to live fairly while they are faithful (to each other), return the deposits (to their owners), and give alms (of their property); but, if they do not fulfil these duties, they will encounter famine and scarcity."

Wasa'il-ush Shia'ah, vol. 6, p.13

قالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (ص) :
تَصَدَّقُوا وَ داوُوا مَرضاكُم بِالصَّدَقَة، فَاِنَّ الصَّـدَقَة تَدفَـعُ عَـنِ الأَعراضِ وَالأَمراضِ وَ هِيَ زِيادَة في أَعمارِكُم وَ حَسَناتِكُم

كنز العُمّال/6/371

The Holy Prophet [p.b.u.h.] said: "Give alms and cure your sick persons by it, because alms can surely remove your bad fortunes and ailments; and it causes prolongation of your lifetimes and increases your rewards."

Kanz-ul-'Ummal, vol. 6, p. 371

رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ (ص) قالَ :
لَمّا اُسرِيَ بي إِلى السَّماءِ رَاَيتُ عَلى بابِ الجَنَّة ثَلاثَةَ اَسطُـرٍ، اَلسَّطـرُ الأوَّلُ: بِسـمِ الله الرحمنِ الرَّحيـمِ أَنَـا اللّه لا إِلهَ إلاّ أَنَا سَبَقَت رَحمَتي غَضَبي وَ السَّطـرُ الثّاني : بِسـمِ الله الرَّحمنِ الرَّحيـمِ اَلصَّدَقَةُ بِعَشَـرَةٍ، وَالقَـرضُ بِثَمـانِيَةَ عَشَـرَ، وَصِلَة الْأَرحامِ بِثَلاثينَ وَالسَّطرُ الثّالِثُ: مَن عَرَفَ قَـدْري وَ رُبُوبِيَّتي فَلا يَتَّهِمْني فِي الرِّزقِ

الاثنى عشريّه/85

It is narrated from the Holy Prophet [p.b.u.h.] who said:

"When I ascended to the sky, I saw three lines written on the door of Heaven:

The first line: In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful; I am Allah and there is no god save Me that My Grace preceeds My wrath.

The second line: In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful; charity is repaid ten times and loan eighteen times, and regard for kinship thirty times.

The third line: He who understands My Rank and My Lordship should never accuse Me regarding sustenance."

Al - Ithna 'Ashariyyah, p. 85
