For the sake of Allah, and nothing else.

Lillah is charity given seeking only His pleasure: no obligation owed, no recognition sought, no conditions attached. Because it is free of the rules that bind Zakat, it can reach the places other giving cannot.

Why Give Lillah

Given for His sake alone

Lillah is Arabic for for Allah. It describes charity given voluntarily, seeking nothing in return from anyone but Him. The word names an intention rather than an amount, so any sum can be Lillah.

The difference from Zakat is obligation. Zakat is due each year at a fixed rate, to the categories of people the Quran names. Lillah is owed to no one; you give it because you choose to.

That freedom is the practical point. Zakat must be handed into the ownership of an eligible person, so it cannot fund a building or a well. Lillah carries no such condition, so it can pay for a mosque, a classroom, staff and the running costs that keep the work standing.

Where Your Lillah Can Help

The giving that fills the gaps

Restricted funds are easy to raise and easy to spend. What is hard to fund is everything in between, and that is usually what decides whether a project works.

In practice your Lillah reaches the work that other giving cannot. It can pay a madrasah teacher through the term, build and repair a mosque, carry an orphaned child through a school year, put food on the table of a household that has run short, and meet the cost of treatment for someone who cannot pay.

When a cyclone or a flood comes, unrestricted funds are the ones that can move first. Between emergencies it is Lillah that keeps the wells maintained and the teams in place.

Why Choose Us

Given sincerely, carried carefully

Every act in Islam is weighed by the intention behind it, and with Lillah the intention is the whole of it. What follows is practical: somebody has to carry the giving to where it is needed.

HF Trust UK is a charity registered in England and Wales, working through established local teams in Bangladesh who choose the projects and remain afterwards. Your Lillah is directed to where those teams judge the need to be greatest, across the Trust's work in orphan care, food, clean water, medical support and emergency relief.

And whatever good you spend is for yourselves, and you do not spend except seeking the face of Allah. And whatever good you spend will be repaid to you in full, and you will not be wronged.

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:272)

Choose your amount above, give it quietly, give it for His sake, and let it do its work.

For the Sake of Allah

No obligation. Only intention.

Lillah is not owed and it is not counted against you. It is given freely, and because it is free it can go wherever the need is greatest: a mosque, a classroom, a child's school year, a family with nothing left after the water came. Give what you can, and give it for Him.
