By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Dabbagh Welfare Trust to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Dabbagh Welfare Trust will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Dabbagh Welfare Trust receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Donate to Ramadan Zakat Appeal

What is Zakat?

In Islam, zakat is a compulsory act of worship, which requires Muslims to donate a portion of their wealth to those in need. The word “zakat” means “purification,” and it is mentioned several times in the Quran as a way to purify one’s wealth and soul. Zakat is not only a means of helping the poor and needy, but it also serves as a reminder of the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon us. According to IslamQA.com, zakat is “a form of worship that is based on giving a certain percentage of one’s wealth to those who are eligible, as defined by Allah in the Quran and by the Prophet (peace be upon him) in his Sunnah.”

The Eight Categories Who Can Receive Zakat According to Ayah Mentioned in Surah Tawbah

According to the Quran, there are eight categories of people who can receive zakat. These are mentioned in Surah Tawbah, Verse 60, which states:

“The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and (for) the wayfarer; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is knower, Wise.”

The eight categories are:

  1. The poor: Those who do not have enough to meet their basic needs.
  2. The needy: Those who have some possessions but are not enough to cover their basic needs.
  3. Zakat collectors: Those who are authorized to collect and distribute zakat.
  4. Those whose hearts are to be reconciled: Those who are new to Islam or may be on the fence about it, and who may be swayed towards accepting Islam through receiving zakat.
  5. Freeing slaves: Those who need funds to free themselves from slavery or servitude.
  6. Debtors: Those who are unable to pay off their debts.
  7. For the cause of Allah: Those who are working towards the cause of Islam, such as scholars, orphans, and widows.
  8. Wayfarers: Those who are traveling and do not have enough to cover their basic needs.

How Zakat Can Rectify Society?

Zakat has a significant role to play in rectifying society. By giving zakat, Muslims can help to eradicate poverty, reduce inequality, and promote social justice. Zakat can provide a safety net for those who are in need, and it can help to create a sense of community and mutual responsibility. When the wealthy members of society give zakat, it not only helps the poor and needy, but it also promotes empathy and compassion among those who give. In this way, zakat can help to foster a more cohesive and harmonious society.
