About us
"Whoever saved a life, it would be as if they saved the life of all mankind." (Qur'an 5:32) Islamic Relief is an international non-governmental organisation (INGO) founded in the UK in 1984 by a group of medical doctors and activists. Since 1984 we have saved and transformed the lives of over 117 million people. By responding to disasters, rebuilding lives and preparing people in case disaster strikes – we save lives before they are lost. In addition to providing disaster and emergency response, we also promote sustainable economic and social development by working with local communities – regardless of race, religion or gender. Our Mission: Together we will inspire and enable people to respond rapidly to disasters and fight poverty through our Islamic values, expertise and global reach. Our Values: We remain guided by the timeless values and teachings of the Qur’an and the prophetic example (Sunnah), most specifically: - Sincerity (Ikhlas) – In responding to poverty and suffering, our efforts are driven by sincerity to God and the need to fulfil our obligations to humanity. - Excellence (Ihsan) – Our actions in tackling poverty are marked by excellence in our operations and the conduct through which we help the deserving people we serve. - Compassion (Rahma) – We believe the protection and well-being of every life is of paramount importance and we shall join with other humanitarian actors to act as one in responding to suffering brought on by disasters, poverty and injustice. - Social Justice (Adl) – Our work is founded on enabling people and institutions to fulfil the rights of the poor and vulnerable. We work to empower the dispossessed towards realising their God-given human potential and develop their capabilities and resources. - Custodianship (Amana) – We uphold our duty of custodianship over Earth and its resources, and the trust people place in us as a humanitarian and development practitioner to be transparent and accountable.

🌱 Many people in #Nepal rely on the agricultural sector for employment, but work is often hard to come by. For widows like Chandani, sending children to school proves difficult, due to the high costs. Alhamdulillah, Islamic Relief is supporting more than 260 children and their families, through our child protection programme! 🤲🏼
