About Us
KHIDMA New Zealand is a charitable trust established in November 2023 by six like-minded professionals from New Zealand’s Muslim community. United by a passion for faith-inspired service and community development, the founding members created KHIDMA to promote the welfare, education, and spiritual well-being of both Muslims and non-Muslims interested in learning about Islam and its universal values.
The name KHIDMA (Arabic: خدمة) means “service”, and it embodies our core purpose:
“Service to God, People, and the Environment.”
KHIDMA is formally incorporated as a Charitable Trust (NZBN: 9429052078354) and registered with Charities Services New Zealand (Registration Number: CC63156).
