آثارAthaar— Powered by Waqf
A UK Charity — Built on Waqf
آثار
Athaar
“Leaving your mark behind.”
Total donated to awqaf — all time
£0
Awqaf are permanent community endowments. They are not spent — they are kept, and what they produce is given. This figure updates live as new donations are confirmed and deployed.
Last updated 26 June 2026
Two streams. One commitment.
Every donation flows down one of two clearly named paths. The operational split is shown on the front page, never hidden in a report.
01 — Zakat
Zakat Stream
Collected to date
£0
100% to communities. No deductions, ever.
02 — General Donations
General Donation Stream
Collected to date
£0
Covers our running costs and the building of further awqaf.
Operational honesty. Zakat is held sacred — it is never used for our running costs, salaries, or marketing. Those are covered solely by the General Donation Stream.
Partner networks
Athaar is built on guilds of Muslim business owners who give together. Each network's collective contribution is reported openly below.

What we have built

Athaar is built one quiet commitment at a time — individually, or together.

The Athaar Standard
Seven principles we publish ourselves against
These are not aspirations. They are the standard by which trustees ask us to be judged.
01
Completeness
Every pound is shown — nothing rounded away, nothing hidden in overheads.
02
Timeliness
The dashboard updates as money moves, not once a year in a PDF.
03
Clarity
Plain English first. Jargon and acronyms come second, if at all.
04
Accountability
Named trustees sign off on every grant decision published here.
05
Connection
Donor, network, waqf and community are visibly linked — not abstracted.
06
Operational Honesty
We say openly which stream covers our running costs — Zakat never does.
07
Continuity
A waqf is for generations. We report on it as such — for decades, not quarters.
