Let’s raise a righteous community with Zakat
Why Should I Give Zakat to Perdaus?
Zakat is an obligation for all Muslims who meet the Zakat criteria. When you give out Zakat, you are purifying your wealth by apportioning it to those who have a right to share under Islamic law.
Zakat is different from donation. If you wish to donate to Perdaus instead, please click here.
As a centre for education, outreach, and da’wah in aspiring to our vision of a righteous society, your Zakat contributions will help in our efforts to enrich the community and beyond.
Perdaus is not an IPC, and hence does not issue tax deduction receipts.
