Giving with Faith, Purpose, and Impact

At KoMWA (Kokni Muslim Welfare Association, Mumbai), we believe that charity is not only an act of generosity, but a sacred responsibility entrusted to us by Allah ﷻ. Islam teaches us to care for the poor, support the vulnerable, and strengthen the community through different forms of giving.

Through KoMWA, your donations—whether Zakat or voluntary charity—reach deserving members of the Kokni Muslim community with dignity, transparency, and Shariah compliance.

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed that grows seven ears; in every ear there are a hundred grains.”
(Qur’an 2:261)

Zakat – A Pillar of Islam

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and an obligatory duty upon every eligible Muslim. It is not voluntary charity, but the right of the poor in the wealth of those whom Allah ﷻ has blessed.

“And establish prayer and give Zakat…”
(Qur’an 2:110)

How KoMWA Uses Zakat

At KoMWA, Zakat is:

• Distributed strictly according to Shariah guidelines
• Given only to eligible recipients (as mentioned in Qur’an 9:60)
• Used to support widows, elderly individuals, deserving students, and families facing medical hardship
• Disbursed before Ramadan so that help reaches families when it is most needed

“Take from their wealth charity by which you purify them and cause them to increase.”
(Qur’an 9:103)

By giving your Zakat through KoMWA, you fulfil a command of Allah ﷻ while directly easing the struggles of families within our own community.

Sadaqah – Voluntary Charity with Endless Reward

Sadaqah refers to voluntary charity, given at any time, in any amount, with sincerity for the sake of Allah ﷻ. It includes financial help as well as acts of kindness.

“Every good deed is charity.”
(Sahih Muslim)

Through KoMWA, Sadaqah supports:

• Medical emergency assistance
• Education support programs
• Community welfare and development initiatives
• Immediate relief for families in distress

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Charity does not decrease wealth.”
(Sahih Muslim)

Sadaqah Jariyah – A Lasting Legacy

Sadaqah Jariyah is ongoing charity whose reward continues even after death. Supporting education, healthcare, and long-term welfare projects through KoMWA allows donors to earn continuous reward.

“When a person dies, his deeds end except three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.”
(Sahih Muslim)

Zakat-ul-Fitr (Fitrana)

Zakat-ul-Fitr is compulsory for every Muslim who can afford it and must be given before Eid prayer. It purifies the fast and ensures that the poor can celebrate Eid with dignity.

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made Zakat-ul-Fitr obligatory to purify the fasting person and to feed the poor.”
(Abu Dawood)

KoMWA distributes Zakat-ul-Fitr responsibly so that needy families can experience the joy of Eid.
