“Whoever saves the life of one, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind” (Qur’an 5:32) Islamic Relief aims to be the first on the ground when an emergency strikes, helping those affected immediately. They can’t afford to wait for us to raise funds before we help, so it’s essential we’re prepared before the disaster hits.

Islamic Relief classifies ‘disaster’ as a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or society, involving widespread human, material, economic or environment losses and impacts, which exceed the capacity of the affected community to cope. We work to minimise the impact of disaster.
