The centre for the Study of Islam at the University of Glasgow is to study the philanthropic
activities of 12,000 UK Muslims.
With a £64,000 grant from the Ford Foundation, 
Dr Mona Siddiqui and two researchers will look at Islamic concepts of charitable
giving, including ‘zakat’ or alms-giving. Research will include interviews and qustionnaires
over the next 12 months.
