Islamic Help is a UK based charity that was founded in 2003 and works both internationally and within the UK. According to their registration with the UK Charity Commission, “Islamic Help provides humanitarian assistance all around the world. Support is also provided to the needy, widows, victims of emergency natural/manmade disasters and homelessness in the UK”.[2] Islamic help characterizes itself by its ability to inspire, motivate, and mobilize young individuals wishing to provide assistance to disaster stricken communities.[3][4]
The organization is a member of the Muslim Charities Forum, which serves as an umbrella organization for multiple UK-based Muslim charitable organizations and has been criticized for its member's extremist ties, allegations which extend to Islamic Help and which have been refuted by the charity.
