Notes
  1. 1) Your khums due date is the first day you started your job or business. If you are retired or not in employment, then you can agree a khums due date with a representative of the marja'a, or calculate separate khums years for each profit that you make, from the date you made that profit.
  2. 2) The khums of commercial commodities and real estate(s) which are intended for trading, should be paid in accordance with their current market value, even if they were bought with profits which a year has elapsed on, unless the price at which they were bought is higher than the current value.
  3. 3) If the calculations show that the amount of khums due is negative as a result of sustenance debts, then the amount of the sustenance debt equivalent to the amount of khums due for the rest of the item is calculated and excluded.
  4. 4) If sustenance debts are fully repaid in the financial year, this amount is excluded from the profits.
  5. 5) Possessions which are not subject to khums are:
    1. a. Possessions owned through inheritance:
    2. i. Cash
    3. ii. Real Estate

Child Sponsorship

Be a Lifeline This Muharram

Our sponsorship programme is built around the child – their dignity, their healing, and their future. Every sponsored child receives monthly financial support, access to healthcare, food support, education and safe housing.

Our dedicated and highly trained social workers also help us to identify and address the specific needs of children and their families so that we can provide them with tailored support. Beyond this tangible care, they gain something just as important: a sense of being seen, valued, and protected.

One Mission, Three Countries

Child Sponsorship

Since 2006, we’ve helped lift more than 200,000 orphaned children and their families across Iraq, Afghanistan and Ghana out of poverty.

Iraq

Al-Ayn currently supports over 100,000 orphaned children and their families across the country through a robust infrastructure of care. At the heart of this is our network of 11 Luminous Stars Centres, fully operational facilities offering multidimensional care – including psychological support, education, nutrition, healthcare, and vocational training.

Afghanistan

Al-Ayn is currently supporting over 2,000 orphaned children, offering year-round assistance that includes food distribution, educational support, and recently expanded medical services to address critical healthcare gaps.

 

Ghana

Al-Ayn supports hundreds of orphaned children across the country, providing them with food, healthcare, educational resources, and safe housing. We are also expanding our reach into new regions, building the systems needed to support even more children left without adequate care.
