Spreading Zakat Literacy within Muslim Communities at ISNACON63

Last week, at the ISNA Conference in Detroit, nearly 80 attendees joined an important panel discussion focused on Zakat, its principles, responsibilities, and the importance of ensuring that Zakat reaches those who need it most.

Featuring:

Dr. Ingrid Mattson, Sheikh Muhammed Nur Abdullah,

Fakhir Ahmad, and moderated by Dr. Younus Y. Mirza

They shared a practical perspective on Zakat giving and encouraged donors to carefully consider the organizations they entrust with their Zakat. They emphasized selecting organizations that reflect your values, understand Zakat eligibility, have strong processes for evaluating need, and show how Zakat is making a meaningful difference.

Your Zakat. Their Hope.

FAITH works every day to support individuals and families

facing financial hardship and difficult circumstances. Serving individuals who fall within all eight categories of Zakat eligibility, allowing Zakat funds to address a wide range of critical needs.

• Direct Assistance to Families in Need — We use Zakat to help eligible individuals and families with essential needs such as housing, utilities, food, and emergency expenses.

• Careful Zakat Eligibility Review — We review each household’s income, expenses, documentation, and financial circumstances to help ensure Zakat reaches those who qualify.

• Helping Families Become Self-Sufficient — Beyond immediate relief, we work with families toward stability and independence, helping them move from crisis toward long-term self-sufficiency.

From housing and emergency financial assistance to food, education, and other essential needs, your Zakat helps FAITH provide a lifeline to vulnerable members of our community.

100% of Zakat donations go directly toward

programs serving those in need.

As you consider where to give your Zakat, we invite you to choose an organization that shares your values, takes the responsibility of Zakat seriously, and works every day to turn your generosity into meaningful impact.

Give Your Zakat Through FAITH Today



Together, we can provide hope, dignity, and a path toward greater stability for families in need.
