Mercy Mission focuses on Excellence in Knowledge & Action. The Arabic word ihsan, comes from the verb ahsana which means to act well, to implement with expertise, or to master something. The Mercy Mission way focuses on ihsan, or excellence, as a guiding principle in marrying knowledge with action.

I ask Allah our Rabb to reward and bless all those kind sisters and brothers with all bounties, happiness, increase in Rizq, and to fulfil all of their duas. Ameen.” “Sister A” from London “I am speechless brother, I am really speechless, in this world where most people don’t care about each other the thing you are doing is amazing... Honestly brother I don’t know what to say you are doing amazing things for people. God help you brother as you are helping people.” “Brother H” from North London Our work covers five core areas which together form a complete service for the Muslim community in the UK with respect to Zakat: Awareness, Education, Calculation, Collection and Distribution.

Emergency Shelters Shelters for homeless Muslim women who have no help and support from their communities. Currently in Asia and Europe. In societies through history and across the world, women have often been the victims of oppression and subjugation to extreme ideals and cultural expectations. As a result, domestic violence and tyranny have resulted from digression from these standards and limitations. These issues of female subjugation are incongruently severe in areas of the world where social infrastructure is too weak to accommodate the protection of these females. Furthermore, any existing support networks can often be discriminatory towards certain groups. The aim of the Women’s Shelter Project is to create a safe refuge for women who face persecution and difficult circumstances upon making choices in life that do not correspond with family and cultural expectations and norms. We wish to provide an accessible and independent support network for women who experience extreme social and economic hardship and difficulty under such circumstances.

World’s largest Islamic conferences. We currently run some of the world’s largest Islamic conferences, namely in the UK, Malaysia and Australia. The focus is to ensure that every Muslim can live faithfully to their belief, and we want all kinds of Muslims to mobilise the message of knowledge and action. The combination of knowledge and action is what separates this Ummah from the previous ones; we find mention in the Qur’an of those nations who had knowledge but did not act upon it and those who acted without knowledge.

Christianization in Focus Every 15 seconds, someone in Indonesia leaves Islam. More people are leaving Islam than almost the combined population of Qatar and Gambia - every year! Mercy Mission aims to work with Islamic authorities in Indonesia to use its experience in Islamic media to reach out and support the Muslims. Islam is the religion Allah chose for His people and we want to remind them of this. We are currently seeking to launch the largest Dawah campaign that Indonesia has ever seen and require the support of those people who wish to help the Muslims stay strong upon their Islam - despite the efforts of others. We are prepared to stand with our brothers and sisters in Indonesia. The number of Muslims leaving Islam is rising every year in Indonesia and most of the world is silent. Mercy Mission wants to respond. Are you prepared to stand with us?
