The Latest News from our Organization

With the blessing of Allah, this Ramadan we will reach our third year of service to the community. We want to thank you for making National Zakat Foundation a success. We want to present a brief overview on what has been accomplished in the past 3 years.

Our beloved Prophet (SAW) used to make dua for the one who used to pay Zakat. I pray that Allah (SWT) grants mercy to you and your family. At NZF we uphold the highest level of professionalism and integrity in administering the third pillar of Islam and we look forward to your continued support.

Aisha is not the only one! We have so many women and children with similar stories that have stayed at Nisa Homes.

On behalf of National Zakat Foundation (NZF), we would like to thank you for your generous contribution and support. Now that we have Charity Status, we are one step closer to our mission of providing an end-to-end service for Zakat payers and recipients across Canada.

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him said,“Whoever relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, Allah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever helps ease someone in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and in the Hereafter..."Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2699

Last night a tragic event occurred that claimed the lives of 6 worshipers of Allah as well as leaving many others in critical condition. It is vital that we show our support for the victims of such senseless acts of barbarism. We are one community, their families are our families. We cannot sit back, when tragedy strikes we must take action.

Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,“The most beloved peopleto Allah are those who are most beneficial to the people. The most beloved deed to Allah is to make a Muslim happy, or to remove one of his troubles, or to forgive his debt, or to feed his hunger. That I walk with a brother regarding a need is more beloved to me than that I seclude myself in this mosque in Medinafor a month. Whoever swallows his anger, then Allah will conceal his faults.

Every month we receive requests for Zakat, but this winter the numbers have dramatically increased. This past month alone we spent a record $48,775.01 in Zakat and assisted 213people locally. Countless families coming from across Canada have approached us requesting help: Families on the verge of eviction, others facing loss of heat and electricity, single mothers calling in tears unable to feed their children. New Refugees without the means to pay for food and rent. Many of our brothers and sisters are forced to choose between food, shelter, or staying warm during the cold winter months.
