🚨 1 in 4 UK children are in poverty. 📊 49% in Black & Asian families. 🧊 1 in 3 parents cut energy to stay warm. We need a Zakat system that protects our own. ➡️ https://t.co/uZgtEIxokj | #Zakat #ChildPoverty #UKMuslims

We're halfway through 2025 and working on @NZF_org_uk’s 2024 Annual Report, a chance to reflect on the impact of local giving. Every £1 spent to help someone keep their home can save the public purse £73. Local #Zakat works. 📘 https://t.co/bWvGcoxrau Image: Mahboob Hussain

One year ago, I joined a panel on social mobility in #Birmingham. Since then, @NZF_org_uk has launched two #Zakat hubs with @GreenLaneMasjid & @bahutrustuk. If we want long-term mobility, we can’t ignore immediate need. Learn more: https://t.co/tD8Nq6Akhz.
What’s Next for Social Mobility? It was great to catch up with @ZaraM01 and @IanEPwC at the MCBX Leadership Conference in #Birmingham today. 1/

I recently had the pleasure of visiting @mosqueedeparis. Stunning architecture and deep history! Opened in 1926 to honour North African Muslims who fought for France in WWI. A 20-min walk from Notre-Dame, and well worth the visit.🕌 https://t.co/GhGiJT7xPM

A few thoughts about what it means to have a training in fiqh, and how to nurture and grow this 'ability' in jurisprudence, and to what end. This was at a graduation ceremony for students of the PGCH - post-graduate certificate in Hanafism, @irshadcentre. https://t.co/NebX6QWyHc

It’s been one month since Eid. Thank you to everyone who chose to give their Zakat locally with @NZF_org_uk this year. The video below shows what that support can lead to: a former recipient, now a Zakat payer. 1/
