Charity

Support the Masjid and Community

Charity is a fundamental religious obligation in Islam. Giving to those in need, whether through Zakat (obligatory almsgiving) or Sadaqah (voluntary charity), is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. EMAS provides a central place for the collection and distribution of Zakat and Sadaqah funds.

Shade on the Day of Judgment

The Prophet said: “The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity.” (Al-Tirmidhi)

On the day when all other shade will be gone, Allah will shade and shelter those who give charity and care for the poor. The Muslim’s sacrifice in this life will be their protection on the Day of Judgment.

What Quran Says about Charity

“Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve” (2:277).
