Fundraiser for Victims

Twenty two people have been killed and more than 50 injured in a suspected terror attack at Manchester Arena. Many of whom were very young people. The blast happened at about 22:35 BST on Monday following a pop concert by the US singer Ariana Grande. The cause is still unknown. - BBC News

Our heart goes out to all the victims and their families, no one should fall victim to these horrendous crimes.

We wish to respond to evil with good, as our faith instructs us, and send a powerful message of compassion through action. Our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said: "Have mercy to those on earth, and the One in the Heavens (God) will have mercy upon you." And the Quran teaches to "Repel evil by that which is better" (41:34)

The Campaign

A call to the community 

Though this is a Muslim-led campaign, we welcome our friends of other faiths and none to also contribute. We ask particularly that British Muslims, mosques, Imams, leaders, and groups endorse and promote this initiative. 

How funds will be distributed 

Thank you for considering supporting the victims and the families of victims of this tragic attack through this fundraiser. All fundraising proceeds will help with the immediate, short-term needs of the victims and grieving families affected by the tragic events that unfolded on May 22, 2017.  No amount of money will bring back their loved ones, but we do hope to lessen their burden in some way.

We are coordinating with the relevant authorities and others to ensure that the funds go where they are needed. We will update as soon as we have more information.
