5alas is a hyperlocal, tech-powered platform that transforms the way charity works — through trust, transparency, and community action.
We partner with mosques, donors, local suppliers, and volunteers to address hunger, poverty, and poor health — one neighbourhood at a time.
Everything we do is designed to empower local communities and make every donation count.
Too many people in our Ummah face daily struggles — and too many donors feel disconnected from the impact of their giving.
We saw an opportunity to rebuild trust through local mosques and to bring transparency and dignity to every act of charity. What started as a desire to give back to Allah has grown into a platform that connects generous hearts with real needs, right where they live.
We believe mosques are more than places of worship — they’re centres of trust, compassion, and community power.
At the heart of 5alas is a connected ecosystem — each part working together for lasting impact:
Give with intention. Choose what to donate and where. See real-time order updates and historic records — no guesswork, just meaningful giving.
Act as trusted distribution hubs. Confirm receipt of goods, support local families, and build stronger ties with their neighbourhoods.
Fulfil donation orders — supporting the local economy while helping people in need. No warehouses. No delays. Just direct impact.
Receive the essentials they need — food, healthcare items, hygiene products — from people who care, through mosques they trust.
This model creates a transparent, efficient cycle of giving — built on accountability, compassion, and community trust.
Learn How it worksWe don’t just modernize giving — we make it personal, visible, and local.
Donors’ real-time donation tracking and historic receipts
Mosques control over what’s distributed and to whom
Local suppliers the ability to receive and fulfil orders efficiently
Full transparency and record-keeping, with every step documented
Innovation helps us build bridges between generosity and need — making sure support gets where it’s
most needed, with no waste and no barriers.
Strengthening Local Economies
We also give donors the option to add a 7.5% support fee, which goes directly to mosques. This helps cover the cost of receiving, storing, and distributing donations — and supports their broader work in educating, informing, and assisting the community.
By connecting generosity with local enterprise and mosque infrastructure, 5alas turns every donation into a powerful force for lasting good.
Every donation placed through our platform is fulfilled by a local halal supplier or trusted vendor. That means donors are not only supporting people in need — they’re also helping small businesses grow and thrive.
OUR VALUES
We believe in the boundless potential of young people and invest in them as the changemakers of tomorrow.
We foster deep ties between mosques, neighbourhoods, and donors — because real change starts with strong local bonds.
We use technology to modernize giving and meet communities where they are — always striving for better, smarter solutions.
We honour every item, and every pound donated, ensuring it's used with integrity, purpose, and full transparency.
We work with purpose to support our communities while amplifying the voice of Muslims around the world through unity and collective action.
Our Vision
We imagine a world where every person has access to essentials — and where mosques stand as trusted beacons of hope, service, and connection.
That’s why our work directly supports several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — including zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, and reduced inequalities.
By empowering communities through transparency, technology, and trust, we’re building a global movement — one mosque at a time — where local challenges are met with meaningful solutions, and every act of giving helps create self-sustaining, united communities.
