Chairman’s Message
Dear friends,
As we reflect on another year, I find myself once again, inspired by your generosity and kindness. The last year has been full of challenges, as we saw continued suffering in Gaza like never before, and in many other places.
Among dark and uncertain times, your support and unwavering commitment has been a beacon of hope, saving and rebuilding lives, reminding those in need that they have not been forgotten. This year, I sincerely ask you to support us once more, aiming to uplift and transform some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.
Since October 2023, we have witnessed relentless suffering in Gaza, where over 100,000 people have been killed. Almost all of Gaza’s 2 million population has been displaced, battling the seasons in overcrowded camps that offer little protection. Your ongoing support has enabled us to provide life-saving food, healthcare and essential aid by working with key partners on the ground.
In the last year, we also witnessed catastrophic flooding in Pakistan - the worst the country has ever witnessed. Your support enabled us to conduct rescue missions and provide shelter, food, clean water and healthcare to those who have lost everything.
This year, your support has the power to bring light to those trapped in darkness, and to save and transform lives.
With Gratitude,
Abdulrazzaq Sajid

Ramadan brings us opportunities to connect deeply with Allah (swt), with our communities, and with those vulnerable and suffering around the world.
We focus on Zakat this month, and often think of it as something static - a duty to be fulfilled. However, Zakat is something that moves. It transforms communities, and enables mercy to flow, rebuild, inspire, protect and feed.
Giving Zakat moves mercy from your hearts to the hearts of those suffering around the world. It allows clean water to be provided to the thirsty, food to tackle hunger, lives to be uplifted, orphans to be protected and those suffering in war to be saved, safe and never alone.
When mercy moves through your Zakat, poverty falls. Your Zakat has the power to give communities education, sustainable livelihoods, nutritious food, restored eyesight, healthcare, clean water and so much more.
Your Zakat can help us do so much for those in need.

turn your zakat into
Your Zakat can help those struggling with blindness to see once again.
Over 2 billion people around the world are unable to see, with 75% of all blindness being curable with the right healthcare. Our mission is to take quality eyecare to the most impoverished and vulnerable communities. Make mercy move with your Zakat, and tackle blindness today. Restoring vision helps to restore hope, enabling people to see their loved ones, read the Qur’an, work and study.

At the general hospital in Mansehra, we provide quality healthcare, ensuring that nobody has to struggle with ill health or injuries. We know that in times of health crisis, millions of people across Pakistan struggle to access the healthcare that can save their lives and the lives of their loved ones.
Our qualified doctors treat an array of health conditions, and we have specialist equipment, testing facilities and everything we need to help save lives, treat health issues and keep generations of people safe.
We believe that mercy should always flow through your Zakat to those who need it.
Thats why the hospitals in Pakistan never close the doors of mercy to those in need. The dedicated eye hospital in Lahore provides specialist eye care to vulnerable people across Pakistan. We help to save sight before it’s lost, as well as restoring sight once blindness has started. We make sure no one is left behind, and provide a dedicated, tailored approach, leaving no stone unturned in our mission to tackle blindness.

Orphans are among the most vulnerable around the world, being left without the love and protection of one or both parents.

Our Orphan Sponsorship programmes helps to ensure that thousands do not ever have to face this reality. Thanks to the support of our donors, we are able to ensure orphans receive quality education, healthcare, nutritious food and a safe place to live.

Gaza: thiS iS Where your Zakat BringS relief unDer fire
Since October 2023, we have witnessed the biggest and most catastrophic attack against the people of Gaza, in its history.
The violence has been beyond our imaginations, resulting in the death of almost 100,000 people including children and babies. Almost all of Gaza’s 2 million has been displaced and are living in temporary, overcrowded shelters and tents.
Alhamdulillah, we have been working in Palestine since 2014 and through meaningful partnerships, are able to carry out large scale distributions in Gaza, delivering vital aid to hospitals and the people of Gaza.

Despite a robust blockade and restrictions, Al Mustafa Welfare Trust is working with agencies who have extensive experience and special permission to deliver aid into Gaza.
The Egyptian Red Crescent have direct access to Gaza, with permission to access the area with trucks. The Royal Hashemite Trust are licensed to use their military planes to fly aid directly to the Rafah border, which will then enter Gaza through trucks. As the aid is going more often we have now established relations which enable us to deliver within Gaza too.

500 FAMILIES FREED FROM BONDED LABOUR
24.9 million people around the world are trapped in bonded labour. This type of modern slavery affects millions of people in Pakistan, who are forced to work to pay off a sudden debt.
They work for hours on end each day with little or no pay, while their loan grows in interest. This makes it almost impossible for people to ever free themselves, and the cycle of bonded labour continues as the debt moves from generation to generation.
People are working in dangerous situations such as operating kilns, and are often working painfully long days with no breaks, which are having catastrophic impacts on their health. This Ramadan, make mercy move and allow your Zakat to break the cycle of bonded labour. You can help free a family trapped in modern slavery.

When catastrophic monsoon floods swept across Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Sindh, entire communities were left without shelter, clean water, food, or medical care.

Because of your generosity, AMWT activated its Rapid Emergency Response within 24 hours, reaching over 5 million people across 27 districts and 238+ locations. Your support became rescue, relief, dignity, and hope when it was needed most.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law.

We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements:

Al Mustafa Welfare Trust International Ltd Company Limited by Guarantee Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2025
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of AL MUSTAFA WELFARE TRUST INTERNATIONAL LTD (Continued)
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity, which it has to comply with. Our audit tests included tests to check this compliance to the extent that we are expected to do so.
-
In our risk assessment process detailed discussions and planning took place to ensure that our audit procedures are so designed that any material irregularity including fraud will be uncovered when we carry out our tests.
-
In addition, our meetings with the company’s management included enquiries that were focused on detection of irregularities including fraud. Discussions included consideration of the risk of management override on controls and segregation of duties.
-
As part of our audit, we reviewed Board minutes and any correspondence with all regulatory authorities.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.

21
Al Mustafa Welfare Trust International Ltd Company Limited by Guarantee Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2025
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of AL MUSTAFA WELFARE TRUST INTERNATIONAL LTD (Continued)
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
