Deen Foundation is a charitable organisation that has been set up to serve humanity.
One of the core objectives of Deen Foundation is to spread knowledge and educate the world on different religious, social and professional matters by publishing books, articles, video presentations and holding conferences. Recent publications include Our Children – Our Future by Qari Muhammad Asim and The Mothers of the Believers – The Wives of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) by Shabana Muneer.
Particularly in less developed countries, we believe that literacy, education and job-skills training are fundamental to the development of needy communities and are the most effective tool for empowering the poor to break out of poverty.
Deen Foundation also has the objective of providing relief from poverty and sickness and the provision of education in an ethical, effective, efficient and transparent manner.
We believe that everyone, irrespective of race, colour or faith has the fundamental right to a life of dignity, free of poverty and oppression.
Deen Foundation is committed to the provision of free education to those who cannot otherwise afford it. To this end, Deen Foundation has established a religious school near Sialkot, Pakistan. The school provides free education to children of poor families and aims to equip them with the necessary skills to lead a self sufficient adult life.
Providing information about Islam to professional bodies to assist them in making policies relating to the work place is also a fundamental task that Deen Foundation is involved in. Deen Foundation recognises the importance of promoting healthy inter-faith and inter-community relations, and of dispelling misconceived perceptions about Islam in order to facilitate positive and fruitful dialogues.
Deen Foundation is also committed to assisting poor families who cannot afford the costs associated with the marriage of daughters, especially in the Indian sub-continent, where even today the parents of brides are expected to lavish the groom’s family with gifts on the occasion of the marriage. Often parents of girls are forced to delay their daughters’ marriages because they cannot afford these costs. Deen Foundation assists such parents by contributing to essential wedding costs to enable marriages to take place without delay.
Deen Foundation also provides sustenance to poor families by organising Qurbanis and distributing the Qurbani meat to the needy.
Deen Foundation runs a Weekend Islamic school in Leeds (UK). The aim of this Weekend school is to educate and provide important Islamic education to the young Muslim children. These classes instil the love of Islam in their hearts. They become well-informed and more educated regarding the teachings of Islam and it helps them to put into practice whatever they learn in the class.
The topics covered include:
Correct Recitation of the Holy Quran (Tajweed), Essential Islamic principles, Important acts of worship and the Life of Holy Prophet.
By covering these important topics, we can teach our young generation to be good Muslims and responsible citizens.
