Founded in 1989 as a humanitarian organisation, Minhaj Welfare Foundation was established to effectively collaborate aspirations of a better and fairer world, especially for the marginalised and deprived communities. We believe, education is the most effective and compassionate response to worldwide rise of inequality and poverty. Accessibility of education is a crucial foundation stone; without which sustainable development of any society or nation is not achievable. There is no better way of accomplishing a holistic charitable objective than helping overcome the various contributing factors which deprive one from accessing education. Our education central approach supplemented with rigorous moral and ethical training programs served in our network of institutes, has allowed us to ensure a long lasting and multiplying impact that positively contributes towards the prosperity of whole communities. Our approach allows beneficiaries to develop into guardians and means of sustenance for their communities, ending their cycle of poverty. Minhaj Welfare Foundation continues to grow into a worldwide network of gifted individuals tirelessly working and leading towards becoming one of the largest international grassroots-led humanitarian relief organisations. On behalf of millions being empowered out of poverty through MWF, we share their gratitude with you. Indeed, charity is a divine agreement where the blessed opportunity of giving is reciprocal to countless blessings received in return.

TOP 3 QUESTIONS
ON ZAKAH Does one have to make a formal intention (Niyyah) when paying Zakah?
Yes, in order to fulfil one’s obligation, one must intend (i.e. specify) that they are paying the Zakah. As an act of worship pertaining to financial dealings, an intention is required in order for it to be performed correctly. The intention (Niyyah) for fulfilling one’s obligation is to intend that one is paying the Zakah, whether that be at the time of distributing one’s wealth to those who are eligible (i.e., at the time of payment), or when setting the Zakah money aside.
During the year, can the Zakah be paid in advance through small instalments?
On what kind of wealth or asset should the Zakah be paid? It is obligatory to pay the Zakah upon four types of assets: \ Gold, silver, and cash. \ Livestock, such as camels, cows, and goats, etc. \ All kinds of trade goods and merchandise (including property bought with the intention of resale). \ Those products that are produce d from the land such as fruit, vegetables, and minerals, etc. Yes, someone who is legally responsible to pay the Zakah can pay through monthly instalments throughout the year, with the intention of paying the Zakah. When the lunar year comes to an end, the Zakah should be calculated, and whatever remains outstanding should be paid off. In similar fashion, the outstanding amount can also be paid through instalments.

for
Water is one of the basic necessities of life. In mostly rural areas, poor communities spend a significant large portion of their day collecting clean and safe water from far away locations. As a result of making clean water extraction, filtration and collection facilities locally accessible, we see improved community participation in local schools and other development facilities.
