Muslim Charity is a registered charity in the United Kingdom, charity registration number 1078488. The charity was founded in 1999 by Shaykh Muhammad Imdad Hussain Pirzada to provide relief for the needy around the world. The charity has provided emergency aid to thousands of individuals around the world. Muslim Charity has provided assistance following natural disasters such as the Tsunami [1] and the Asian earthquake.[2] Amongst its worthy projects are housing schemes[3], safe water schemes[4], medical aid [5] etc.

After the Tsunami, it provided immense support through its orphan sponsorship programme in connection with Indonesia Nahdalat al-Ulama.[6] Following the Asian earthquake, Muslim Charity constructed a complete village for one hundred homeless people. This area has now officially been renamed as Al-Karam Village and it now comprises a school and a mosque provided by the charity and in February 2006, the Chairman of Muslim Charity, Shaykh Muhammad Imdad Hussain Pirzada himself visited Pakistan and Kashmir to see the work carried out by Muslim Charity and to officially inaugurate the Al-Karam Village.[7]

Muslim Charity has also worked very hard in providing a long term solution to the people in need. Hence, it launched its gyne hospitals project. In July 2005, the first Gyne Hospital Jhang opened its doors[8] and has gained an excellent reputation which led to the establishment of a second hospital, Gyne Hospital Faisalabad, which opened its doors in May 2007.[9]

The remarkable attribute about Muslim Charity is that it has absolutely no paid workers in the United Kingdom.[10] It is completely run by volunteers working under the guidance and leadership of Shaykh Muhammad Imdad Hussain Pirzada.
