If you have no concern for the thousands of your brothers and sisters who need your Zakat right here in the UK, then THROW AWAY THIS FLYER But if you do care, then turn over now... Think Zakat. Think Local. Think YOUR COMMUNITY IS CALLING OUT FOR YOUR HELP... DON'T HANG UP ON THEM THIS RAMADAN MEET Mariah. Mariah came to the UK through marriage on a spouse visa. She put her faith in her husband to take care of their needs. He has started becoming violent towards Mariah and the children, keeping tight control of all finances and depriving them of basic needs. She knows that this cannot go on but doesn't have any relatives in the UK to provide her with safe shelter, nor does she have the language skills to fend for herself. MEET Tahir. Tahir came to the UK as an asylum seeker from Algeria. He is keen to work and came here for a better life. His asylum application became delayed and his papers lost in the system, meaning that he still has no right to work and has only very limited recourse to state support. He often finds himself hungry and lacking basic essentials. MEET Jamal. ZAKAT BEGINS AT HOME Scholars agree that Zakat distribution should be prioritised in the area where the funds are collected. If we don’t support the thousands who are eligible to receive Zakat in the UK, then who will? Like many young men in the UK, Jamal was exposed to the wrong crowds and was caught with the possession of drugs. Jamal served a sentence in prison and in that time committed himself to change. He managed to get off drugs and strengthen himself spiritually. Upon release, he was determined not to return to his previous life, but was finding it impossible to get a job and his family didn't want him back. When he came to NZF, he was in debt and in the same clothes he left prison with almost a month earlier. National Zakat Foundation (NZF) THE POWER OF LOCAL DISTRIBUTION was launched in the summer of 2011 and is now the premier Zakat institution for the UK Muslim community, serving Zakat payers and recipients nationwide. By providing a complete Zakat service within the UK, we aim to achieve our vision of a pious, confident, selfless and self-sufficient UK Muslim community, where no individual in need is left abandoned. "When I came across NZF, I was in a very desperate situation. They helped me to stand on my own two feet again. A few months on and I'm feeling confident about myself and starting a new job. I hope to give my Zakat to NZF this year so that I can help others in difficulty!" (Abdullah, London) We serve Zakat payers by educating you about Zakat, supporting you with the accurate calculation of Zakat and offering you the opportunity to have your Zakat distributed within the UK. "When I converted to Islam, my family ties broke down and I was suddenly left without support and shelter. Then someone told me about NZF and nothing has been the same again. I encourage everyone to get behind this organisation. We need it in our community." (Sarah, Manchester) We serve Zakat recipients by accepting applications or referrals for financial support. Our team of caseworkers assesses and analyses cases in detail to ensure that we use Zakat funds in the most impactful and transformative way for the beneficiaries. We also fund supported housing projects for vulnerable Muslims around the country. SINCE 2011, NZF HAS: - processed over 1,500 applications for support and distributed over £1.4m of Zakat to local, deserving recipients. - launched four supported housing projects for homeless Muslim women and ex-offenders. 100% of our Zakat funds are spent in line with the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah, with our policies authenticated and audited by the Al Qalam Shari'ah Panel (www.alqalam.org.uk) and AlKauthar Institute (www.alkauthar.org) GIVE YOUR ZAKAT LOCALLY THIS RAMADAN!
