Story

By virtue of our position in the community, we at Cambridge Islamic College have seen a great need in the community for a group of people to receive Zakat.

Muslim Students:

We meet many students who are keen to devote themselves to studying and serving their Deen. But, because of financial circumstances, they are forced to abandon this dream in favour of a more stable lifestyle. Those were potentially the thought leaders of the future who could have illuminated and guided our society with their knowledge, had we only given them the chance they deserved. We want to provide such talented and dedicated students with the opportunity to study, regardless of their financial circumstances. Therefore we have set up the Cambridge Zakat Fund.

For our current situation in the West, one of the priority groups for Zakat is Muslim students - Dr Mohammad Akram Nadwi

Who should I pay my Zakat to in the West?

For more information about the permissibility of giving zakat to the categories mentioned above, please see Shaykh Akram Nadwi's article entitled "Those Eligible to receive Zakat " answering the question, "Who should I pay my Zakah to in the West?".

If you have any queries, please call 01223 655223 or email zakat@cambridgeislamiccollege.org or WhatsApp +44 7736 779 448.
