Offering zakat is a religious obligation for Muslims, and is the third of the five pillars of Islam (right after prayer). In Arabic, zakat means purification, growth, and blessing. Paying zakat is meant to remind Muslims to be appreciative of the blessings that Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) has bestowed upon them, and to help empower those who have less.
Supports programs for our youth that build maturity and confidence, and that nurture relationships with Allah swt, Prophet Muhammed SAWS, and other Muslims.
Dar Al-Hijrah provides Quran and other books and brochures on Islam to those interested in learning about Islam. Translations of the Quran are provided in English and Spanish languages. For new Muslims or reverts, we hold special educational programs and reading materials.
This fund encourages contributions towards the operation of the masjid during shut down including salaries for essential staff. Due to lockdowns or partial lockdowns and social distancing Dar al-Hijrah is not operating as it was before Covid thus causing a noticeable reduction in regular donations.
