Education equips individuals with knowledge, critical thinking, and the skills needed to build meaningful lives. It is foundational to breaking cycles of poverty, fostering leadership, and enabling communities to thrive.
From an Islamic perspective, seeking knowledge is not just beneficial — it is a religious duty. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim.”
— Sunan Ibn Majah (Scholarly Hadith)
Studying Qur’an, Hadith, and Islamic sciences nurtures faith, moral character, and spiritual insight, enabling believers to live purpose-driven lives that align with Islamic principles.
Education in Islam cultivates both ilm (knowledge) and akhlaq (morals). It prepares students not only to engage with the world but to contribute positively and ethically throughout their lives.
At Shukran Charity, donations are welcomed in the main Islamically recognised forms of giving. Each carries deep spiritual value and, when directed towards those in hardship, becomes a powerful means of uplifting underprivileged communities.
Zakaat is a compulsory pillar of Islam upon those who meet the nisab (minimum wealth threshold). It is not simply charity — it is a right that the poor and needy have over the wealth of the able.
When Zakaat is distributed correctly, it directly supports individuals and families who are struggling with poverty, debt, and basic survival needs. It can provide:
Zakaat purifies one’s wealth while restoring dignity and stability to those who are most in need. It creates balance within society by ensuring that no one is left without support.
Sadaqat is voluntary charity given out of sincerity, compassion, and love for the sake of Allah. It can be given at any time and in any amount.
This form of giving is incredibly flexible and allows communities to respond quickly to areas of urgent need. Through Sadaqat, underprivileged families receive:
Sadaqat is a means of softening hearts, removing difficulties, and spreading mercy within society.
Lillah is charity given purely for the pleasure of Allah, without restriction. This allows funds to be used where the need is greatest and where they can have the widest impact.
Lillah donations help sustain the overall running of charitable efforts, including:
Because Lillah is unrestricted, it is vital in ensuring that charitable projects remain stable, functional, and able to serve people consistently.
Fitrana is given before Eid-ul-Fitr at the end of Ramadan. Its purpose is to purify the fast and ensure that those in need can also partake in the joy of Eid.
For underprivileged communities, Fitrana provides:
Fitrana ensures that no family is left behind during a time of happiness and gratitude.
Together, these forms of giving create a comprehensive support system for those facing hardship. They help to:
Each donation, in whichever form it is given, becomes a means of mercy, relief, and positive change for people who depend on the kindness of others.

By donating just £2 per day throughout Ramadan, you contribute towards:
Qualified Quran teachers
Structured Hifz programs
Long-term Islamic education
Continuous Sadaqah Jariyah rewards
Through our partnership with LaunchGood, every person who commits to this campaign helps unlock a £100 bonus donation, multiplying the impact of your generosity.
Your small daily contribution today can shape hearts, minds, and generations tomorrow.
According to recent charity reports:
Supporters enable increased capacity — meaning more children receive quality Islamic education, meals, housing, and care. (Charity Commission Register)
Supporting education — especially free Islamic education — is one of the most rewarded forms of charity. As students grow, they carry knowledge into their families and communities, multiply what they’ve learned, and benefit many others over time.
Educated individuals contribute to stronger, more resilient communities. With the combined power of faith and knowledge, graduates become teachers, leaders, parents, and change-makers.
Many children in underserved regions often lack access to quality schooling. Your support bridges this gap — offering opportunity where it would otherwise be limited or nonexistent.
You can contribute through multiple channels — from sponsorship to regular donations — in the form most meaningful to you: Zakaat, Sadaqat, Lillah, or Fitrana.
