Where do your taxes go? PDF Print E-mail

The UK Islamic Education Waqf – UKIEW – seeks donations to help pay for community based education projects in Britain. Alhamdulillah, since its establishment in 1991, the UKIEW has raised and distributed almost £1.8 million to weekend schools, madrassas and full-time Muslim schools around the country. This work has depended on the help of Allah and support from generous people like you... The education of children is an on-going reality. Remember, you can pay Zakah and Sadaqah towards Islamic education (this helps us pay school fees for needy youngsters) as well as any other donation to assist young Muslims to have a better future, insha’Allah.

Do you realise that your taxes pay for 4,700 Church of
England schools, 2116 Roman Catholic schools and 36 Jewish schools in England alone? Not one of 125 remaining Muslim schools receives a penny from local or national government.

The cost of providing an Islamic education can be less than the cost of a satellite dish. The price to pay for no Islamic Education is too much to contemplate - drugs, promiscuity, domestic violence, broken homes and so on. Please spend what you can to support UKIEW in its work. If you help them, you can help full-time and part time Muslim schools to provide our children with a balanced Islamic education. It's our community's future we are talking about!
