Donate Your Zakat
If you live in Reading, you already know that Zakat is more than just a charitable act — it’s a divine obligation. As one of the five pillars of Islam, Zakat purifies your wealth and connects you directly with the needs of the Ummah. When you give Zakat, you’re not only following Allah’s command, you’re also supporting lives in hardship.
At Crisis Aid, we’re here to help Muslims in Reading fulfil their Zakat properly and confidently. We’re a UK-registered Islamic charity, grounded in the teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah, and committed to distributing Zakat correctly, fairly, and transparently. Every penny you give is treated as an amanah (trust) and directed to those who are eligible under Islamic law.
Many Muslims in Reading already trust Crisis Aid to handle their Zakat, knowing that our work is rooted in integrity and compassion. We ensure your Zakat reaches those most in need — whether it’s families struggling due to war and famine overseas, or those closer to home in the UK facing financial hardship.
Our international Zakat projects include food packs, orphan support, medical aid, and emergency relief in countries like Gaza, Yemen, and Sudan. But we also recognise the growing need within the UK. In towns like Reading, we deliver food parcels and essential support to local families facing cost-of-living pressures. Your Zakat can make a real impact both abroad and in your own community.
Everything we do is backed by Islamic guidance and UK compliance. We make sure your Zakat is calculated, collected, and distributed in a way that reflects sincerity, accuracy, and care. And we keep you informed — so you can see how your Zakat is changing lives.
Don’t delay this important duty. Give your Zakat today through Crisis Aid and join the many Muslims in Reading who are making a difference with their charity.
