Charity

The Prophetic fact that “Sadaqah is a Burhān” is something which should not be lost on the Believer. We live in such times where our collective and individual levels of ‘ibādah have fallen due to various societal reasons – it may just be that giving charity is the one remaining way for many of us to prove and affirm our faith as the Prophetic hadith suggests.

PG is proud to be supported by the commitment of a small number of people, their continuous Sadaqah helping to establish a charity trust fund (Waqf) which is under the supervision of our board of scholars and trustees. Their responsibilities with this fund are simple: to ensure that all the money they invest into charity projects will provide the largest possible profit and return…in the Hereafter.

This is a project taken very seriously by our scholars who advise us on where to appropriate the Waqf funds in order to maximise the benefit in this life, to increase Sadaqah Jāriyah possibilities and to ensure that only those projects are chosen that will provide for the largest possible thawāb and ajr (reward), due either to the merit of that act or due to the specific nature of that project which due to its context or lack of interest or desperation, takes on a greater significance than might normally be assumed.

If you wish to help support this Waqf fund, please donate here.

Below are some details of our previous and current charity projects.

If you cannot help support our long-term Waqf fund by standing order but would be willing to support one of the specific appeals below as a one-off, please click Sadaqah, please include details of your chosen project.

Mali Well Appeal

This project was initiated in 2003, building wells with a partner organisation that specialises in this field, in an area which is regularly ravaged by drought.

Pakistani Earthquake Aid

The devastating Earthquake of 2005 which hit North Pakistan and India led to one of the biggest aid responses ever organised by the world community. PG in conjunction with Doctors Worldwide were able to assemble a team of doctors and emergency medicine personnel, alongside medicines, aid kits and over £65000 of donations raised simply from the PG online community alone.

Orphan Appeal (Banda Aceh and Kashmir)

After the horrific Tsunami that destroyed large parts of Indonesia, an unprecedented number of orphans are in need of shelter, education and quality care. PG has helped set up an Orphanage and is also collecting funds to sponsor orphans as a long-term project.

Lebanon Appeal

This is our most recent project, supporting Human Appeal in their attempts to provide aid to the many displaced after the shocking crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Israeli army and their bombings of innocent civilians and public areas. 

New Muslim Support

PG’s roots have always been in Da‘wah, and this is one of our most important funds: we help provide financial assistance and gifts to those who enter Islam often at great personal cost and difficulty.

Debt Relief

This is one of the more forgotten responsibilities of the Muslims, to help those who are in desperate debt and are in danger of falling into something which we all regret later as a community.
