Are there any Islamic charities that help non-muslims?

Question

There are numerous Christian charities that help people regardless of their religion or culture, such as Christian Aid and Cafod. The Islamic charities I have heard of only seem to give aid to muslims. I have never heard of any that do not discriminate. If anyone knows of any, please name them. If ther aren't any, I would like to know why?

Answer 1

Amdirien's answer is slightly misleading.
the following is a quote from http://www.cair-net.org/default.asp?Page=About:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a nonprofit 501(c)(4), grassroots civil rights and advocacy group. CAIR is America's largest Islamic civil liberties group, with regional offices nationwide and in Canada. The national headquarters is located on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C.
Xargent's answer is not quite honest either. Zakah is a sort of "charity tax" that every Muslim is supposed to pay...to their mosque. Think of it as sort of the muslim equivalent of the Christian "tithe", except that it is adjustable according to their income from 2.5% to 10%.

Other than this, I cannot find any real Muslim charity.

Answer 2

actual u might locate that the respond is definite ! 'direction they help non-muslims (and animals too btw) Its approximately understand and Islam teaches that all and sundry is equivalent regardless of their shade or faith . So dont basically pass assuming issues . Oh yh and that i aint chattin bullshit i in my opinion do ma study before i answer any questions . :) I agree that Islamic alleviation and all the different huge ones dont help non-muslims yet whilst u fairly luk into it u'll locate that there are sum charities that are no longer so sought after and everyfin yet are open to all and sundry . whats up if u dont have confidence that muslims actual help peeps of different faiths then ask urself this question : Why did they help the Christians who have been injured interior the Pakistan earthquake ? Cos they have been apprehensive bwt their popularity ? in fact they cudve enable them to die and no one wudve found out .

Answer 3

Good question - I suspect the answer is 'No' - I look forward to someone correcting me on that, but I wont hold my breath!!! I personally would never give money to any charity that was so discriminatory in it's dealings, unless of course it was only for animals because at the end of day they are so much more pleasant than humans!

Answer 4

if theres no charities then they pay zakah which is funded around the world ok
