Bringing Change & Opportunity Through The Unity Of The Community

Central Islamic Trust is a distinguished non-profit organization that was established in 1956 to address the pressing needs of the Muslim community in greater Johannesburg and Gauteng. CIT is dedicated to providing comprehensive services, including Islamic education, welfare, bursaries, and burial services to the Muslim Ummah.

At CIT, we believe that genuine change occurs when individuals are empowered to make a positive impact. Our mission is driven by a commitment to making a difference, ensuring the proper fulfillment of Janaaza rights, offering support and guidance to bereaved families, and allocating our resources to those who need them the most.

We want to emphasize that our focus is not on seeking recognition for our organization but on achieving our goals. Central Islamic Trust serves as a dedicated vehicle, helping us reach our objectives and contribute meaningfully to the welfare of the Muslim community in greater Johannesburg and Gauteng.

Burial

Central Islamic Trust operates a 24-hour burial service which was established in 1956.

Burial Services

The trust provides a very comprehensive service throughout the Greater Johannesburg area and other provinces of South Africa, as well as neighbouring countries.

Welfare

The needs of the indigent Muslims of the community are always a major concern.

Welfare

In the 1960’s Zakaat funds were distributed by individuals and community organizations.

Bursaries

We strive not only to provide immediate relief, but also to empower people for the long term.

Bursaries

The Trust recognized the need to educate and train individuals within the Muslim Community in all types of professions.

Madrassah

In the 1950’s it was evident that the home based madrassahs and the few madrassahs in Johannesburg were not coping.

Madrassah

There were insufficient Ustaads/Teachers and it was becoming more difficult to bring Ustaads from India and Pakistan to come to South Africa.
