Best Donation Platforms For Muslims

While every religion encourages donations, Islam is the only one that has made it an obligation for its followers. God Almighty has promised rewards in this world and in the hereafter for those that give donations. Muslims donate millions of dollars in the form of Zakat and Sadqah to charitable organizations. Hardest part for the donors is to find an appropriate platform for their donations. So, let’s take a look at the best donation platforms for Muslims around the globe.

Transparent Hands was founded in 2014 with the vision to make health care accessible to deserving patients who can’t afford their treatments. The organization provides free surgical and medical care to economically disadvantaged patients. Since 2014, Transparent Hands has made a difference in the lives of over 40,000 patients. The organization also holds medical camps in remote areas of the country to offer basic medical care free of cost. It is one of few organizations that provides cochlear implant surgeries to the underprivileged.

We operate with complete transparency and provide information about each case on our website. Donors can select the patients that they deem fit for their donations. The website has classified cases based on urgency, types of surgery or procedure, and Zakat eligibility to help donors in the process.
