About Us

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatu’Allah

When a person dies, his deeds come to an end, except for three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), the knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him. (Muslim)

 

“None of you believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” (Tirmidhi)

 

Ummah Hands is a UK-based charity establishment with a vision to transform the lives of the disadvantaged members of our global society.

We Believe

At Ummah Hands, we believe everyone should be given the opportunity to live with dignity. More than this, we at Ummah Hands see charity as a given duty of those who are blessed with more, towards their fellow brothers in humanity. We take our inspiration from the Islamic principles of self-sacrifice, empathy, and brotherhood, and aim to see these principles in reality through our work.

Ummah Hands works by the non-discriminatory ethics of Islam, providing our facilities to people of all backgrounds, and faiths, men, women, and children.

Our efforts are currently concentrated in UK and Bangladesh.

In the UK our aims are: To organize, educate and enhance the development of British Muslim communities, to encourage positive contribution to British society, and the promotion of social justice.

In Bangladesh, we are devoted to giving the large disadvantaged population access to basic rights to clean water, food, and education. We aim to facilitate a better lifestyle for people so they become self-determining, and prosper both materially and intellectually. This is why our leading projects are education-based; these facilities are to empower men, women, and children with education and key skills that will allow them to become independent and confident members of their local communities.

Ummah Hands puts equal effort to provide help towards the less able and elderly members of our community, hoping to fulfill the rights they have upon us.

Ummah Hands seeks to offer a lasting effort, and reach out a helping hand that builds our global community.

We are a non-profit organization, working solely for the pleasure of Allah.

We are guided by trusted scholars to ensure the funds of Ummah Hands are spent in accordance to the standards of Islamic Law.

Ultimately, we are accountable to Allah, and we aspire to be working solely for His pleasure.
