Empowering Needy with Muslim Charities in the UK
Muslim charities in the UK are a cornerstone of faith in action, transforming the Islamic principles of compassion and social responsibility into tangible support for those in need. At Build Your Akhirah, we are a dedicated Muslim charity helping the needy, committed to channeling the remarkable generosity of the British Muslim community into sustainable, life-changing projects both at home and abroad. This is a space to explore the profound impact of Islamic donation in the UK, understand the various avenues for giving, and discover how your contribution can help build a better world.
The spirit of giving is deeply embedded in the Islamic faith, with principles like Zakat (obligatory charity) and Sadaqah (voluntary charity) guiding believers to support the less fortunate. This tradition of generosity is powerfully reflected in the UK’s Muslim community, which is recognized as the most charitable religious group in the country. On average, a British Muslim donates £708 annually, a figure 4.3 times higher than the national average of £165. This incredible generosity translates to an estimated annual contribution of between £1.48 billion and £2.22 billion from Muslims in the UK.
The Heart of Giving: Understanding Islamic Charity
Islamic charity is a multifaceted system designed to foster social equity and provide a safety net for the vulnerable. It encompasses several forms of giving, each with its unique significance and application.
Zakat: A Pillar of Faith and Social Justice
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam, an obligatory annual donation made by adult Muslims who possess wealth above a certain threshold, known as the Nisab. It is a systematic way to redistribute wealth and purify one’s own possessions.
In the UK, 56% of Muslim adults consistently give Zakat, with many more doing so periodically. While a majority (62%) choose to donate during the holy month of Ramadan, a significant portion—27%—give at other times of the year, often in response to emergencies or personal conviction. This year-round giving presents a continuous opportunity for Islamic relief funds to make a difference. Many donors also choose to split their Zakat into multiple payments to maximize their spiritual rewards, a practice supported by digital platforms that automate these contributions.
Sadaqah and Sadaqah Jariyah: The Gift of Ongoing Rewards
Beyond the obligation of Zakat, Islam places great emphasis on voluntary charity, or Sadaqah. This can be any act of giving, from a simple smile to a substantial financial donation. A special form of this is Sadaqah Jariyah, a continuous and ongoing charity. This includes funding projects that have a lasting impact, such as building a well, sponsoring an orphan’s education, or establishing a medical clinic. For example, a donation towards a Waqf share, a fixed amount of £150, can contribute to such long-term projects.
The generosity of the UK Muslim community extends far beyond Zakat. Nearly one-third (29%) of British Muslims give more in Sadaqah than they do in Zakat, and another 43% give an equal amount, highlighting the deep-seated culture of voluntary giving.

In a landscape with numerous Muslim charity organizations, choosing where to place your trust is a significant decision. Build Your Akhirah stands out as a leading Muslim donation website committed to transparency, impact, and honouring the intentions of our donors.
100% Donation Policy
We believe that every penny of your donation should go directly to those who need it most. We operate on a 100% donation policy, where we cover all administrative costs through separate, dedicated funds. This ensures that your Zakat and Sadaqah have the maximum possible impact.

Trust is the foundation of our work. We provide clear, detailed feedback on our projects, showing you exactly how and where your Islamic donations are making a difference. Donors want to know who their gift will help and how overheads are covered, and we are committed to providing that clarity.
Global and Local Reach
While a significant focus of Muslim giving is international (85% of British Muslims donate to international causes), there is also strong support for local initiatives. Build Your Akhirah balances this by running impactful projects overseas while also addressing poverty and hardship within the UK, supporting communities from all backgrounds.

Where Your Donations Go: Our Key Areas of Focus
four key point
Your Islamic donation online through Build Your Akhirah supports a diverse range of projects designed to alleviate poverty and foster self-sufficiency.
Emergency and Disaster Relief
When disaster strikes, a swift response is critical. Build Your Akhirah is on the ground, providing immediate aid in the form of food, water, shelter, and medical assistance to communities affected by conflict or natural calamities. A significant 73% of UK Muslim donors have contributed to relief efforts in Gaza, and we remain dedicated to supporting civilians in crisis zones.
Water and Sanitation
Access to clean water is a basic human right, yet millions lack it. We build wells, install water pumps, and implement sanitation projects that not only prevent disease but also free up time for women and children who would otherwise spend hours fetching water, allowing them to pursue education and economic opportunities.
Education and Empowerment
Education is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty. We build schools, sponsor orphans, and provide vocational training to empower individuals and communities to build brighter futures for themselves.
Healthcare for All
Health inequalities persist globally and within the UK. We support clinics, provide essential medicines, and run health awareness campaigns to ensure that vulnerable populations have access to the care they need. Although UK Muslims are aware of health disparities within their own communities, donations to medical charities have traditionally been lower than for other causes. We aim to bridge this gap by funding projects that address these specific health needs.
