Your Zakat Changes Lives
Ashraful Aid has a number of zakatable projects that you can give your zakat to with the peace of mind that your donation is being dispersed by a reputable organisation that has been responding to the plight of the needy for over 25 years.
Giving Zakat or Sadaqah during Ramadan earns a reward that is multiplied by 70 times and is a means to cleanse and purify the soul. The reward for any righteous act is equivalent to having performed that same deed every day for 83 years.
Zakaah, a force of compassion, strives to eradicate poverty, extend a helping hand to the suffering, and weave a tapestry of communal well-being.
