Do we really need Lottery funding?

Where are the Muslim philanthropists?

As an Ummah we are wealthy, aren’t we? Wealthy Middle East Muslims, rich Muslim businessmen not to name famous rich Muslim footballers.

What do they do with their masses of wealth? Why not fund valuable Islamic Projects.

Why do we go begging to Lottery funding to fund our Islamic projects? We all know that these sources are regarded as ‘dirty’ money and we feel a sense of guilt using them.

My question is: Where are the Muslim philanthropists?
