JIMAS (Charity Registration No. 1060695) has been spearheading this work of collecting and distributing Zakat in the UK since establishing this focus as a pioneer ten years ago. By the grace of Allah we break new grounds through co-operation with local government bodies, charities and independent yet personal liaison while helping to alleviate poverty and hardships at our doorsteps.
Our work extends to the entire society at large. Through thirty years of da’wah and countless classes, exhibitions, seminars in schools, town halls, museums, churches and discussion forums on various faith based or political platforms, as well as conferences, we have built up broad based and perhaps unparalleled relations, understanding and trust of various communities.
We attend to all this without turning a blind eye to the needs of various Muslim organisations providing vital complementary support services, whether a help line or a hostel to Muslims, and provide assistance to them in turn.

We consider every zakat application we receive and personally check claimants or pro-actively find deserving people in society. We particularly help:
- Reverts facing difficulties after accepting Islam often coming into the Deen with huge financial debts
- Muslim women on the streets, homeless and penniless
- Muslim asylum seekers and refugees facing a harsh life of severe restrictions of work and varying measures of hostility
- Muslims turning away from faith or victims of missionary efforts here
- Muslims who are at the point of eviction or repossession
- Deprived families with breadwinners who have lost their means of income
- Individuals suffering from crushing debts
- Struggling single parent families
- People with end to end difficulties of homelessness
- Economic hardships of Muslim foreign students
- People whose hearts need to be reconciled who are almost completely overlooked by all major relief and aid organizations in the UK.
