Islam is not limited to acts of worship; it is a way of life that emphasizes social solidarity and mutual assistance. One of the most significant manifestations of this principle is zakat. Zakat is not only about purifying one’s wealth but also about cleansing the heart, ensuring social justice, and enriching the soul through the blessings of sharing.
Zakat is a beacon of hope for those in need. It is the prayer of the poor, the joy of the orphan, and the support of the helpless. This act of worship is not merely an individual obligation but also a divine command that safeguards the balance and harmony of society.
One of the most fundamental conditions of zakat is that it must reach those in need. As the Mavi Marmara Association, we ensure that your zakat is distributed to the most vulnerable, delivering relief to Gaza, where life has come to a standstill after 15 months of relentless attacks, and to Africa, where communities continue to struggle against poverty.
