Zakat Service

What you have will end, but what is with Allah will remain.

Give Zakat

ICC Tempe collects and distributes zakat to the local Muslim community in the Phoenix Metro area. We are proud to be the leader in zakat collection and distribution in the Phoenix Metro Area, but need your help to help your brother and sisters in need. Your zakat helps cover urgent and critical financial needs facing many underprivileged brothers, sisters and their families. In 2013, ICC distributed over $35,000 to Muslim families across the valley. We hope to be able to provide more zakat and help underprivileged brothers, sisters and their families get back on their feet.
