Extending collaboration
This donation is part of the extended partnership between the two sides, which has strengthened the association's ability to expand its beneficiaries within the country and impact the lives of those in need.
Gratitude for Generous Support
Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Sharjah Charity International, expressed his deep gratitude for this generous support from Dubai Islamic Bank, stressing that this is not surprising for an institution with a long history of giving and an extensive relationship with the association. Over the years, it has contributed to helping many families live more dignified and stable lives. He pointed out that the value of this donation is not only in the number it represents, but also in the meanings it conveys and the impact it creates.
Precise system for receiving assistance requests
Sheikh Saqr Al Qasimi added that the Zakat al-Mal project is one of the association's core projects, benefiting thousands of needy people across the world annually. He emphasized that the association does not merely deliver aid, but rather works to deliver it to the right place at the time when it makes the greatest difference. He emphasized that the association has a precise system for receiving assistance requests and a team specialized in studying cases, both on the ground and socially, to ensure that zakat reaches those who deserve it, both legally and practically. This is what makes Dubai Islamic Bank's contribution a source of pride and honor.
