Use Your Zakat to Reach Neighbors in Canada

Help Vulnerable Families in Need

Support Families with Winter Essentials

Save on taxes with your zakat donations to the National Zakat Foundation (NZF) before the year-end. Your zakat donations will help us relieve families in Canada of debt and bills. 

In many cases, vulnerable families suffer the most because of inflation and increased prices. Compounded with challenges like single-family households or sick loved ones, these families’ struggles are multiplied tenfold. Join NZF as we reach out to neighbors in need to provide essential support with your zakat donation. 

Together, let’s ease their burden and uplift their spirit through the barakah of zakat.

Who Were the Ansaar?

The Ansaar (Supporters) were the inhabitants of Madinah who welcomed and supported the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the Muhajirun (emigrants from Makkah). Their selflessness, generosity, and strong sense of community were instrumental in the establishment and spread of Islam.

Allah praises them in the Qur'an: "As for the foremost—the first of the Emigrants and the Supporters—and those who follow them in goodness, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him." (9:100)

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said to the Ansaar: "You are dearest to me amongst people." (Muslim)

Let us strive to be like the Ansaar, always ready to extend a helping hand, foster community, and work together for the common good, seeking the pleasure of Allah in all that we do.

Show Compassion with Your Zakat Donation

“The best charity is to pay Zakat on one's wealth” (Muslim). 

Purify your wealth and earn significant tax deductions with your zakat donation to NZF. Your donation translates into hope and compassion for families in need right here in Canada. Show them you care by donating to pay rent, bills, or groceries. 

Together, we can reach our neighbors who need an extra helping hand to provide for their families. Let’s lighten their burden today.

Before the year comes to an end, maximize your tax return by supporting the most vulnerable Muslims across Canada, including single parents, the elderly, those living with disabilities and evacuees from Gaza and Sudan.

“You were of critical help at a very sensitive time in our lives. May Allah bless you and grant you the best of health and happiness. Inshallah our lives are much better now and we feel we are going to be stable soon.”

A family supported by you.
