The Al-Zahra' Foundation is a non profit UK based charity registered under 'The Caring For Mankind Trust', established in 2006 with a vision to provide long term aid and care to the underprivileged, needy and forgotten children, women and men in the developing world who face a miserable and uncertain future.
"And they give food out of love for Him to the poor and the orphan and the captive: We only feed you for Allah's sake; we desire from you neither reward nor thanks" [76:8-9]. It is well known that these verses are in praise of the Holy ahlulbayt (as) referring to the event in which Imam Ali (as), Lady Fatimah (as), Imam Hasan (as), Imam Husayn (as) and Lady Fizza (sa) fasted for three consecutive days, and on each day they gave away all that was there to eat to needy persons who knocked at their door at the time of iftaar. The Holy ahlulbayt (as) have shown us that charity in the way of Allah (swt) should be selfless and without any expectations.
The Al-Zahra' Foundation workers in the UK and abroad are volunteers, striving to follow the sunnah of the Holy ahlulbayt (as), dedicating their time with passion and commitment towards helping the needy, praying and hoping that their insignificant efforts are accepted by Allah (swt).
