About us
"Whoever saved a life, it would be as if they saved the life of all mankind." (Qur'an 5:32) Islamic Relief is an international non-governmental organisation (INGO) founded in the UK in 1984 by a group of medical doctors and activists. Since 1984 we have saved and transformed the lives of over 117 million people. By responding to disasters, rebuilding lives and preparing people in case disaster strikes – we save lives before they are lost. In addition to providing disaster and emergency response, we also promote sustainable economic and social development by working with local communities – regardless of race, religion or gender. Our Mission: Together we will inspire and enable people to respond rapidly to disasters and fight poverty through our Islamic values, expertise and global reach. Our Values: We remain guided by the timeless values and teachings of the Qur’an and the prophetic example (Sunnah), most specifically: - Sincerity (Ikhlas) – In responding to poverty and suffering, our efforts are driven by sincerity to God and the need to fulfil our obligations to humanity. - Excellence (Ihsan) – Our actions in tackling poverty are marked by excellence in our operations and the conduct through which we help the deserving people we serve. - Compassion (Rahma) – We believe the protection and well-being of every life is of paramount importance and we shall join with other humanitarian actors to act as one in responding to suffering brought on by disasters, poverty and injustice. - Social Justice (Adl) – Our work is founded on enabling people and institutions to fulfil the rights of the poor and vulnerable. We work to empower the dispossessed towards realising their God-given human potential and develop their capabilities and resources. - Custodianship (Amana) – We uphold our duty of custodianship over Earth and its resources, and the trust people place in us as a humanitarian and development practitioner to be transparent and accountable.

🔴 Israel is bombing and starving Palestinians to death, and now by banning UNRWA, it has cut off a vital lifeline for millions of people. People across #Gaza desperately need food, water, medicine, and protection. Yet at a time when aid should be massively increased, Israel is now impeding it even further. This decision will kill thousands. There must be consequences for denying aid while civilians starve.

🔴 The conflict in #Sudan has reached a devastating scale. Right now, 24.8 million people — over half of the population — are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance as violence sweeps across the country, leaving families, children, and communities in desperate conditions. Despite these unimaginable challenges, our dedicated teams have been on the ground, delivering critical aid to over 978,000 people across Sudan through your generosity. 💙 We've provided life-saving food, essential cash support, health services, hygiene and dignity kits, and more – but as the conflict intensifies, so does the need for aid. iruk.co/sudan 🤲🏼

🔴 For over a year, Palestinians in #Gaza have endured unimaginable horrors.

🔴 Since October last year, there has been a rise in cross-border confrontations between Israel and #Lebanon. According to latest reports, more than 2,483 people have been killed, and over 11,628 injured. More than 1.2 million people – including 400,000 children – have already been displaced over the past year inside the country. 💔 Our teams are currently on the ground, providing vital aid to those in need. Please consider supporting our work, so we can reach as many people as we can insha'Allah. iruk.co/dec 🤲🏼

Here's a few snaps from a recent trip that Waves of Positivity took to #Jordan, where they hit the ground running – literally! 👟 A group of 18 took on the Amman Marathon, raising £50K (!!!) to support our vital health projects in Jordan, and to bring much-needed water to East Africa. 💧 A huge shoutout to each and every participant for their immense effort – their impact will be felt far and wide by those in need, alhamdulillah! 💙

🍉 Since last October, you've helped us deliver over £26 million worth of aid to the people of #Gaza, providing a lifeline in their hour of need. It's been an uphill struggle to reach them with the aid they desperately need. Many have risked their lives to help, and our heroic team members in Gaza have remained devoted to serving others, despite they themselves enduring unimaginable horrors. We don’t know what the near-future holds for the people of Gaza, but we do know that with your continued support, we can remain by the side of Palestinians. We vow to do so until we can help them rebuild their lives, insha'Allah. 💙 🔗 Read more about your incredible impact over the past year: iruk.co/palestine-report
