Distributing Zakat locally

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) sent Mu`adh to Yemen and said, “Invite the people to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and I am Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and if they obey you to do so, then teach them that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers in every day and night (in twenty-four hours), and if they obey you to do so, then teach them that Allah has made it obligatory for them to pay the Zakat from their property and it is to be taken from the wealthy among them and given to the poor.”

Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari 1395, In-book reference: Book 24, Hadith 1

We were having difficulty with our rent, the debt has been piling up and we had no help, but thanks to Fountain Institute, the issues has been resolved. I was provided exactly the amount we needed, and I am deeply grateful. May Allah bless you all abundantly. The service was professional and quick! I will certainly recommend this to any Muslim families in need, inshaAllah.

Being separated, I struggled to meet my bills, especially with my mortgage constantly increasing. I needed assistance to cover expenses and provide for my children.

Fountain Zakat provided monthly support for over a year, easing my financial burden significantly. With their help, I could manage bills and afford essential groceries. This aid allowed me to gradually reduce my mortgage and regain financial stability without constantly seeking assistance.

I highly recommend Fountain Zakat for their prompt and supportive assistance. Their help has been invaluable, allowing me to regain control of my finances and handle expenses without accruing debt or relying on friends.

I am deeply grateful for their ongoing support, which has empowered me to stand on my own feet again. Thank you immensely for everything.

I have been facing huge financial struggles: debt after debt after debt, way beyond my capacity to pay it off. Court case-related expenses are the worst. I saw a post in one of the WhatsApp groups; I contacted Fountain Institute. I couldn't actually register in the beginning, but somehow managed to eventually do it. The process was very, very quick, mashallah - minimum waiting time.

I didn't expect to receive funds so quickly. Financial support from Fountain Institute allows me to pay off some debts, or I can use it to see my children. I can finally afford it.

Also, Ramadan parcels and warm food will make a difference, too. I'm actually really surprised my application, has been dealt with in such a short time. I can finally start paying off some debts.

It wouldn't be possible without financial grants from Fountain Institute. Thank you so much for helping me during this painful time. May Allah reward you. Amen
