We are a humanitarian organization dedicated to empowering lives and bringing social change.

Zakat, or zakat al-mal, means “obligatory alms” or “alms upon wealth.” It stands as the third pillar of Islam, coming immediately after salat, the daily ritual prayer.

Every Muslim possessing the designated minimal amount of wealth, nisab, for the full cycle of a lunar year must, as a matter of worship, satisfy the duty of paying zakat.

Unfortunately, the calculation of zakat has become unclear to many Muslims because of the many different kinds of wealth they may have.

The mission of Zakat Foundation is to help Muslims carry out their zakat duties easily and correctly. The resources assembled here cover a diverse array of financial topics and questions to assist with calculating and paying zakat in an accurate, timely and convenient way.

In Islam, giving to charity is considered one of the most virtuous acts of worship. Allah (SWT) has said in the Quran, "Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah and do not follow up their spending with reminders of their generosity or injure (the feelings of the recipients), their reward is with their Lord. They will have no fear, nor will they grieve." (2:262)

Your donation to the Islamic Center of San Francisco is a form of sadaqah (charity) that will benefit both our community and yourself. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Charity does not decrease wealth, no one forgives another person but that Allah increases his honor, and no one humbles himself for the sake of Allah but that Allah raises his status." (Muslim)

We encourage you to donate generously to the Islamic Center of San Francisco and help us continue our mission of serving the Muslim community in San Francisco.

Located in the heart of Fremont the Centerville neighborhood is well known for its diverse community. 

Located in the heart of Fremont the Centerville neighborhood is well known for its diverse community. However, being one of many densely Muslim populated areas in the East Bay an essential void was absent. A spiritual safe haven where one can connect with their creator. Centerville Islamic Center (CIC) hopes to fill the void and to provide the spiritual and educational needs for the Muslims in the Centerville area, Insha’Allah.

With the ever-growing Muslim population within the East Bay, and a wave of new Muslim residents within the Central Fremont area, a group of brothers started door-to-door visitations in the community, seeking and surveying the needs of the local Muslim population. With the guidance and encouragement of our elders and teachers, Centerville Islamic Center (CIC) was developed.

We started a daily Quran and Islamic Studies program behind American High School at the Los Cerritos Community Center. We saw the potential and demand for an Islamic Center in the Centerville area. With the Almighty's grace and blessings, the backing and prayers of our supporters, we were able to secure a long-term lease. Centerville Islamic Center (CIC) is the middle point between other local Masajid's. The need for an institute of Islamic education in this central area was of vital importance, and long overdue. We hope and pray that Centerville Islamic Center (CIC) can and will fulfill that need, InshaAllah.

In a direct response to this reality, Islah LA started a weekly food pantry that service the local neighborhood of 90043 and surrounding areas.

Islah LA has recently partnered with Mark Ridely-Thomas’ office and The Shower of Hope to provide a weekly mobile shower during our food pantry hours. Through this collaboration the Islah campus has hosted over 238 showers.

Through our dedicated community partnership with Islamic Relief, the Islah LA food pantry has been able to grow into a reliable source of fresh, healthy foods and has been funded to hire employees to help handle proper management of the pantry.

I n April of 2019, Los Angeles County reported that there has been a 12% increase in homelessness, bringing the homeless rate to over 59,000 individuals in LA county alone. To help combat the numbers of this crisis, Islah LA has opened four homes dedicated to providing supportive housing to the community of South Los Angeles. Islah LA has been able to help provide a safe and affordable place for individuals who would fall into homelessness.

HOPE USA is a Volunteer-Based 501(c)(3) Organization Working to End Poverty in Pakistan by Empowering Women and Children.  

About HOPE USA:

HOPE Charities USA is a volunteer-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization working to better the socioeconomic forefront of impoverished citizens in Pakistan.  Estimates of poverty in Pakistan range anywhere from 25 percent to almost 40 percent.  Health indicators suggest that it is the lack of accessible healthcare — not terrorism, drones or the energy crisis — that is the greatest adversity facing Pakistan.  Additionally, in a country where 60 percent of youth are illiterate and only 1 in 3 women can read and write, education becomes a scarce commodity which inhibits freedom from poverty.  HOPE USA’s mission is to end poverty in Pakistan through a calculated, multi-pronged interventional approach which focuses on Healthcare, Education, Vocational Training, Clean Water, and Disaster Relief.

Currently, HOPE has a countrywide presence throughout Pakistan which includes 4 Hospitals, 3 Formal Schools, 200 Informal Schools, 7 Vocational Centers, 1 Basic Health Clinic, 2 Mobile Health units, and 6 Maternal and Child Health Clinics.  Altogether we have grown to a network of hospitals and schools that treats over 750,000 patients per year, educates 11,000 students annually, and provides income-generating skills to over 2,000 young adults yearly; 70 percent of our beneficiaries are women and children.

All of HOPE USA’s health, education, and vocational training facilities provide free/nominal cost services to the impoverished. Additionally, HOPE has been on the frontlines of every emergency relief effort that has impacted Pakistan, from the 2005 Kashmir earthquake to the current 2022 catastrophic flooding crisis.  Our emergency relief efforts have generated aid to over 100,000 victims of natural disasters over the years and we have established 130 hand pumps in remote and rural areas to provide clean water to 130,000 people total.

As a nonprofit organization, HOPE USA has an outstanding record of performance. With almost 15 years of experience, we are currently at the stage where we are a small organization with tremendous impact potential.  Major corporations/governments have vetted us and trust our work.  Some recent grantors include Procter & Gamble, Paypal, Target Corporation, US Aid, Unicef, and the Centers for Disease Control. Additionally, HOPE USA has received corporate matches from Cisco, Microsoft, Salesforce, Oracle, Facebook, Linked In, Adobe, Paypal, Mastercard, and Dreyers. 

We are a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) boasting some of the lowest overhead rates one will see in the nonprofit realm (less than 3 percent). In 2021 we were awarded a medal by Pakistan President Arif Alvi for our poverty alleviation model in Pakistan – we were 1 of just 2 organizations to receive this honor. We are also the only authorized distributor of Procter & Gamble PuR water sachets in Pakistan which become critical during times of natural disasters such as the 2022 Pakistan Flood Crisis.

“No matter how dire the current situation in Pakistan, or the obstacles we face in the future – there is always hope.” ~ Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla, Founder of HOPE USA

HOPE USA's Story:

Health Oriented Preventive Education (HOPE) was the inspiration of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla, a pediatrician by profession who helped eradicate polio from Pakistan in the early stages of her career.  In 1997, while working in Karachi’s government-sponsored hospital for the needy, Civil Hospital (where she currently still practices), Dr. Mubina thought of a vision for the betterment of the citizens of her country.  She and a small band of volunteers joined forces to establish HOPE as a nonprofit governmental organization in Pakistan.  

Due to Dr. Mubina's medical background, HOPE's initial objective was to provide the poor with better access to medical centers and hospitals.  In a country grappling with basic issues such as lack of access to clean drinking water, poor maternal and infant health, malnutrition in children, prevention and treatment of diseases such as malaria, cholera, and tuberculosis, it already seemed as though HOPE had enough of a challenge on its hands.  

But soon Dr. Mubina realized that the cornerstone of a productive and forward-thinking community relies on both a healthy body and healthy mind.  She honed her vision to an integrative approach that was twofold: health and education.  Today, HOPE has evolved to an organization that prioritizes the health and education opportunities of underserved women and children in Pakistan.  HOPE aims to empower females with education and health so that they become self-sufficient and productive members of society. 

As a single woman in a male-dominated country, Dr. Mubina faced many challenges and setbacks; it was through perseverance and hard work that HOPE grew from a dream to a reality.  Today, HOPE has a countrywide presence throughout Pakistan which includes hospitals, formal schools, informal schools, vocational centers, basic health clinics, mobile health clinics, and maternal health clinics, all which provide free or minimal-cost healthcare and education.  Additionally, HOPE has been active in disaster relief efforts throughout Pakistan. 

In the course of 25 years, HOPE has emerged as a viable solution in bettering the socioeconomic forefront of the people of Pakistan, particularly women and children.

We’re glad you decided to take this journey with us!


We believe in a better, more efficient way to do humanitarian work. Our focus is on development and sustainability, as we ensure that the basics are taken care of.

Jews, Christians, Muslims uniting to serve the poor.

Abrahamic Alliance International unites Jews, Christians, and Muslims for poverty relief and active peacebuilding. We began with a simple dream that compassionate collaboration between Jews, Christians, and Muslims can build lasting bridges of understanding and respect between our communities. By uniting to serve the poor in obedience to divine commands, our grassroots movement is showing the world that peaceful coexistence between Jews, Christians, and Muslims is not a naive and distant dream, but a growing and present reality here and now.

We envision a world where children of Abraham unite to save lives; where Jews, Christians and Muslims enjoy peaceful coexistence and mutual appreciation as our faith is deepened by meaningful encounters with each other; where understanding, humility and respect replace ignorance, arrogance and contempt; where diverse yet faithful worshipers of the God of Abraham move beyond dialogue to cooperative action, loving our neighbor together until the hungry are fed, the naked are clothed, the sick receive care and the orphan is raised with love, compassion and generosity. We envision a world where God's faithfulness to bless all nations through Abraham's offspring is expressed in wonderfully new and creative ways through Jews, Christians and Muslims striving to obey all that the prophets have spoken.

Abrahamic Alliance International

Our work is directed against Antisemitism and xenophobia. 

The organization is an NGO and located in the small town of Breisach with now 15.000 inhabitants in the southwest corner of Germany on the border to Alsace/France on the Rhine river. The Swiss border is only 60 km to the south. 

The organization was founded in 1999 with the aims 1. to purchase the former Jewish school building (built before 1690), 2. to renovate it and 3. to use it according to its historical importance. The building is located in the former Jewish lane, in walking distance to the former synagogue and the older of two Jewish cemeteries. Jews had lived in this quarter between 1640 and 1940. 



The mission according to the statutes is to develop new relationships with Holocaust survivors and their descendants and to work together for a full documentation of the histories of about 250 Jews who had lived here before the Nazi persecution began 1933. They had either become refugees or victims of one of the first deportations in October 1940 to Southwest France (Camp de Gurs). Of those deported the majority became in 1942 and after victims of the deportations from France to Auschwitz concentration camp. 



Again and again groups of Holocaust survivors and their descendants returned to what was once their "Heimat" to commemorate the Jewish community which had been destroyed. They became part of a network: the "Overseas members" or "Friends of the Blue House" and could follow the organization making progress in building up a vibrant institution. During each of those group visits to Breisach the program was partially focussing on interaction with young German people (students), most of them have never met a Jewish person.

 

After finishing the renovation of the historical building in 2003 a 15 year period of volunteer work began with lectures, concerts, guided tours and research. From 2017 on the Blue House staff began to professionalize its reach out to young people and improve its pedagogical work using the archival sources for teaching personal stories. This was made possible with the financial support of a Foundation helping to create a part-time  job for a mediator for historical education and cultural transmission. 



Plans developed to create a small museum, to use the garden for the display of another exhibition and to develop an audioguide for touristic purposes: https://blaueshausbreisach.de/en/geschichte-verein/4869/self-guided-tour-juedisches-leben-in-breisach/



Since 2019 the museum can be visited: "Jewish life in Breisach in 1931" where the everyday life of a Jewish family with two children can be experienced by exploring a small number of objects on display and listening to radioplays (German/English). See: https://blaueshausbreisach.de/en/rundgang-en/2139/9-dauerausstellung/



An exhibition is permanently installed in the Blue House garden (created by the House of the Wannsee Conference Berlin) dealing with the history of the deportation of the southwestern German Jews to Camp de Gurs in 1940 in the context of the Nazi occupation of France (German/French). Information about the history of the Jews of Breisach (1640-1940) was added and about how the Nazis turned Breisach into a dangerous place for Jews after 1933. A special focus was directed on the role of the Breisach railway bridge, across which seven trains with more than 5600 Jews were deported on October 22, 1940 after having been arrested in their houses, expropriated, taken to a train station and forced into a train directed towards the city of Freiburg and from there to Breisach and across the river Rhine into occupied France. See: https://youtu.be/7grIqgQ2xHs.



A second grant by a Federal institution (2020-2022) was used to deepen the historical research, to create materials for teaching and to design a digital handbook as a short introduction to the Gurs deportation using the example of the Breisach Jews (as one of 138 places where Jews were rounded up). See English summary: https://blaueshausbreisach.de/en/neuigkeiten/5956/digital-handbook-gurs-a-search-for-traces/



In summer of 2023 forty Jewish guests from five countries, their families originating in Breisach, shared the celebration of 20 years of the Blue House. A week-long program was prepared and executed with many highlights especially guests meeting students from Breisach and Freiburg. 



The organization has turned in the application for another grant (April 2024 - December 2025) to bring together French and German students to explore the differences of their narratives about the years of Nazi occupation of Alsace. For the 80th anniversary of the end of WW II, the installation of a democratic Germany in 1945 and the development of strong friendly ties between France and Germany a special celebration is in planning for the Breisach bridge. French and German students will work together in a Dance project (under the guidance of Battery Dance Company NY director Jonathan Hollander) creating choreographies and a special choreography for the Breisach bridge. With their participation the young generation will support the plans for a new railroad "bridge for the future" and put emphasis on the strong bond between the youth of both countries.
