Sadaqah is voluntary charity given outside the obligation of Zakat. It can be small or large, regular or one-off, money or time or in-kind help. If you need community support but you are not strictly Zakat-eligible, Sadaqah is usually the right ask.
WHO THIS PAGE IS FOR
Sadaqah is wider than Zakat. It can be cash sent to a family for school uniforms, a hot meal delivered to a neighbour, a paid taxi for an elderly relative to get to a hospital appointment, or a single mother’s nursery deposit. The Sadaqah Support page is for people who need that kind of practical, ordinary help.
It’s also a useful page for donors who want to give Sadaqah toward a specific case, rather than to a general fund.
Recent recurring requests include a single utility-bill catch-up, the cost of a child’s prescription glasses, a winter coat for a child, a one-off delivery of nappies, a small Eid gift fund for a newly widowed family, and short-term taxi or bus pass support for medical appointments.
Specific, honest posts get the strongest response. Say what the money is for, the rough amount, the city, and the timeframe. If a charity could pay it directly to a supplier (energy company, school, nursery), say so. Donors often prefer giving Sadaqah toward a clear, time-bound cost rather than to a vague request.
Same as Zakat: contact details are gated, email verification is required, you can post anonymously, and the platform does not display sensitive details publicly. Donors and seekers exchange directly through the messaging system.
Submit your request or browse support
Create a free account, pick the category that fits your situation and write a short, honest post. You can stay anonymous in the public listing.
The platform connects you with helpers
Helpers and donors browsing your city or category will see the request and message you privately to offer support.
Talk it through safely
Agree the help in private messaging. Share only what you need to share — never share bank details publicly.
Close the case and follow up
When the help has landed, mark the case closed. Optional follow-up keeps the door open for further support if needed.
Email verification gates the messaging system, and sensitive details are never shown on the public homepage. You can post anonymously, limit who can contact you, and decide what to share in messages.
Muslims Help Muslims is a connecting platform — we do not hold or distribute donations, and we don’t claim to vet every helper. Always keep bank details out of public posts, take your time when accepting offers, and read our Safety Tips before posting your first request.
The platform connects helpers and seekers across 10 UK cities. Open the page for your area for city-specific context — known mosques, council resources, and local guidance — alongside the UK-wide service above.
Zakat Help UK
If you are eligible for Zakat and going through a tight period — rent, food, energy bills, school costs, a sudden gap in income — you can post on Muslims Help Muslims and ask the UK Muslim community for Zakat support.
Food & Grocery Help UK
If your cupboards are empty and the next pay or benefit day is a week away, this page is for you. Muslims Help Muslims connects households who need a food parcel, a small supermarket voucher, or a hot meal with helpers and Muslim-led food banks across the UK.
Rent Arrears Help UK
Rent arrears are one of the most stressful financial situations a household can face. This page explains how the Muslims Help Muslims community can help with a short-term shortfall, and what UK services to contact alongside the platform.
Emergency Funds UK
Emergency Funds is the right page when something has gone wrong this week and you need quick community help: an unexpected travel cost to see a sick relative, a single bill that can’t wait, a stolen wallet, an urgent care expense.
