MPF calls for Muslims to take care when giving to charity

MPF calls for Muslims to take care when giving to charity 29th April 2021 Muslims in the UK will donate over £100 million to charitable and humanitarian causes during the Blessed Month of Ramadan this year. Donations go to those in need in the UK, but also to Muslim communities in Asia, Africa and the Middle East and to persecuted Muslims all over the world. The Muslim Professionals Forum (MPF) urges all Muslims who make a donation to check that they are giving to bona fide charities. The MPF is echoing a warning given by the Charities Commission in April 2020. The Commission acknowledges that most fundraising is genuine, but warns that, “fraudsters and criminals may sometimes take advantage of public generosity at times of increased giving, using various methods such as fake appeal websites, email appeals that falsely use the name of genuine charity, or appeals from fake charities.”

MPF calls for equalities to be at the heart of economic recovery

MPF calls for equalities to be at the heart of economic recovery As the International Monetary Fund (IMF) began its spring meeting, it released the welcome prediction that the global economy would recover from the Covid downturn. The IMF predicted growth of 6% in 2021 and 4.4% in 2022.  However, the IMF also acknowledged that the recovery will be patchy, with poorer countries at a disadvantage. The MPF welcomed the positive forecast but also called on world economic and political leaders to put the drive for greater equality at the heart of the recovery. The underdeveloped countries that are struggling to deal with Covid will be at a disadvantage when it comes to rebuilding their economies. Many of the world’s poorer countries have majority Muslim populations, and action is needed to ensure that economies in these countries are not left behind.
