MERCY Malaysia chose IslamiQ to carry out its Ramadhan Charity Campaign on its online Zakah and Sadaqah Center in order to leverage IslamiQ's existing members and visitors which are largely made up of Islamic banking and finance customers, practitioners, and academicians from the Middle East, Asia, US and Europe.
Muslim Aid, which has now been featured on the Zakah Payment Gateway for over a year, is also utilising IslamiQ to highlight its £5 million Afghanistan appeal in response to the deepening humanitarian crisis in the country.
The online Ramadhan campaigns will ensure that donors who wish to contribute to the Afghanistan appeals of MERCY Malaysia and Muslim Aid, will be able to do so in a convenient and hassle free manner via the internet, thus saving them time and effort.
IslamiQ's Zakah and Sadaqah Center, at www.islamiq.com/zakah_center , was launched in November 2000, with the purpose of creating a central reference point and centre for online donations. The Center enables donors to make their donations directly to the charity of their choice. The Center also features a wide range of information on Zakah, and an online Zakah calculator, to ensure that donors are fully informed about this key pillar of Islam, and of course so that they pay the correct amount, to their chosen charity.
"We are delighted that both MERCY Malaysia and Muslim Aid are working with IslamiQ to highlight their Afghanistan appeals. Clearly the plight of the Afghan people deserves the attention of all our members and visitors, and we look forward to assisting our charity partners to help the Afghan refugees with much needed medical and humanitarian aid, Insha'Allah," commented IslamiQ's CEO, Dr. Hasnita Dato' Hashim.
