About Muslim Volunteer
Muslim Volunteer is part of the Muslims Around the World network, a family of Islamic websites. Each one does one job and tries to do it well.
Why we made Muslim Volunteer
Giving is more than money. Many Muslims want to help but don’t know where to start, or think that giving means only money. We wanted a friendly guide to what the Quran and the hadith say about giving time and help (Sahih al-Bukhari 6021), with real ways to begin in the UK.
For a gift that keeps going, see sadaqah jariyah on DonateOpenly. DonateOpenly sets out how it scores each charity, from fundraising costs to reporting.
The links we give
National services we have checked. We link to the UK government’s guidance and the Do-it directory. We don’t list or rate individual organisations; your mosque and local community are the best guide to who needs help near you.
Where everything comes from
- Our explanations
- Written by Muslims Around the World. Every sentence about what Islam teaches names its source in the same paragraph: a verse of the Quran, or a hadith with its collection and number. We only cite hadith numbers we have confirmed in the source data behind muslimsaroundtheworld.org, and we don’t give rulings of our own; where scholars differ, we say so.
- Quran verses and duas
- The Arabic of each verse is the King Fahd Complex mushaf text (Hafs), from Quran.com’s data; duas are from Hisn al-Muslim by Sa‘id al-Qahtani. Both are checked letter for letter against those files before a page is published.
Who runs it
Muslim Volunteer is made by Muslims Around the World. It is free, has no third-party adverts and needs no account. Every site in the family is listed on the Muslims Around the World sites page. Before any page here is published, an automatic review checks every verse and dua against its source letter for letter, and makes sure each statement about what Islam teaches carries its reference. If you spot a mistake, please tell us through muslimsaroundtheworld.org.
Muslims Around the World is protecting the legacy of Ali Banat, may Allah have mercy on him, and every site in the family is part of that work. Read his story.
