About Us
The Abbas Foundation Trust is a volunteer-led, non-profit organisation established on 29th August 2018.
The name Abbas is the family name and was setup
by their children to do a number of projects as sadaqa jariya (continuous charity)
Continuous charity is referred to the ability of doing ongoing charity that will benefit in this life and even after when passed away.
Allah (The Most High) states the following:
“Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have accounted for in a clear register.”
(Qur’an, Surah Yasin 36:12)
Due to their love for their parents,
these charitable activities are in conjunction with community organisations and registered charities to help all humanity regardless of faith and race through aid of water, food and medicine as well as masjid and school constructions.
They also aim to put emphasis on the importance of parents for they are the door for Paradise through seminars and conferences.
"Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor."
(Quran, Surah Al-Isra, 17:23)

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said
“Whoever relieves a believer’s distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allah will rescue him from a difficulty of the difficulties of the Hereafter. Whoever alleviates [the situation of] one in dire straits who cannot repay his debt, Allah will alleviate his lot in both this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals [the faults of] a Muslim, Allah will conceal [his faults] in this life and the Hereafter." (Muslim) |

Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah reported: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Shall I give charity on her behalf?" The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Yes." I said, "Which charity is best?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A drink of water."
(Sunan al-Nasaai) |

"(The righteous are those) who feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for the love of God, saying: 'We feed you for the sake of God Alone; we seek from you neither reward nor thanks.'"

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said
"When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for the deceased)." (Sahih Muslim, Sunan al-Nasaai, Abu Dawood, Al-Tirmidhi) |

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said, The Prophet (peace be upon him said) said, “Indeed, the rewards of his actions and good deeds that will reach a believer after his death are: knowledge which he taught and spread; a righteous child whom he leaves behind; a copy of the Qur’an that he leaves as a legacy; or a masjid that he built; or a house that he built for wayfarers; a canal that he dug; or charity that he gave from his wealth in his good health and life. These deeds will reach him after his death”’. (Ibn Majah) |
"By the fig and the olive and [by] Mount Sinai, And [by] this city of security [Makkah]. Verily, We have certainly created man in the best of stature."

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
"If anyone pursues a path in search of knowledge, Allah will thenby make easy for him a path to paradise; and he who is made slow by his actions will not be speeded by his genealogy." [Sunan Abu Dawood] |
