The Islamic Relief Centre is a non-profit charitable organization, established in March 2002 and registered in October 2004, aimed at assisting the poor, destitute and deserving cases in accordance with Islamic principles.
With this theme, The Islamic Relief Centre continues to function successfully as a non-profit organization and from time to time embark upon several fund raising projects to fulfill its objectives.
Some of these projects include:
- A "Cruise Down The Islands" aboard the Treasure Queen with a participation of approximately 500 persons.
- The Islamic Relief Centre hosted internationally acclaimed Quranic Reciter and Islamic Singer Qari Abdul Jaleel of the United Kingdom in concert which included Trinidad, Tobago, Guyana, Suriname and Barbados.
- A Fund Raising Take-Away Bar-B-Que and Cake Sale.
Resulting from the success of these fundraising ventures, 50 families benefitted from grocery items. Financial assistance was rendered to needy persons as well as to patients requiring urgent medical attention.
- The Bangladesh Flood Disaster engaged the attention of The Islamic Relief Centre and as a result contributed financially towards this cause.
- Proceeds from Qari Abdul Jaleel's Caribbean Tour went towards assisting some orphanages, masaajids, islamic schools and poor families in India.
- Arrangements were made to have Iftaar every day in Ramadaan at a cost of US $50.00 in villages in India for approximately 100 to 150 persons.
- Qurbani was also done in different villages in India at a cost of TT $360.00 per share.
- All Zakah monies collected by The Islamic Relief Centre was sent to India for distribution.
Despite the numerous gifts which Allah (swt) has blessed us with, many of us still do not have the time for the things that really matter. Many of us instead spend much of our time and energy frantically trying to keep up with this world, so much so that we at times neglect not only our spiritual needs, but also the needs of our fellow brothers and sisters, many of whom desperately require our care and support.
We take this opportunity to ask for your support, be it financially or otherwise, in reaching out to the deserving persons in our communities. Help us to help others. Contribute generously towards the ongoing charitable efforts of The Islamic Relief Centre.
We gratefully acknowledge with thanks, contributions from those generous individuals, jamaats, organizations and members of the business and muslim communities, for supporting The Islamic Relief Centre in its programme of activities over the years.
