Al-Bukhary Mosque Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
We build, maintain, and activate more than 6 mosques, including Masjid Al-Bukhary in Kuala Lumpur, which functions not only as a place of prayer but also as a community hub for learning, social support, family counselling, capacity training, and tourism where many visitors are inspired to learn about Islam.
Community Centres
We support centres such as Rumi’s Cave, Seville Foundation, and Mukha Ba that connect marginalized communities through meaningful activities that strengthen both social ties and spiritual life.
Foundation Era
2012 _ Establishment of YAT
Driven by prophetic principles of Ihsan (excellence), YAT was founded to transform scattered humanitarian efforts into a structured force for lasting impact. The five core pillars were established: Education, Mosques, Global Relief, Environment, and Social Enterprise.
2015 _ Education Revolution
Marked by the launch of Cambodia’s Phnom Penh Technical School and completion of Pakistan’s Battagram Institute. These became self-sustaining models that empower communities through vocational training – proving education’s power to break cycles of poverty
2025 _ Peak Global Impact
We achieved unprecedented scale:
65,000+ beneficiaries in 50+ countries during Ramadan
200-acre forest conservation with Orang Asli communities
Self-sustaining bakery enterprises in Afghanistan.
Transforming Communities Worldwide
Pakistan Battagram
After a devastating earthquake, YAT initiated short, skill-based courses that helped rebuild the city.
Cambodia
YAT established a technical school in the capital. Graduates now work both locally and internationally, sending income back to support their families.
Malaysia
YAT supports a zakat-eligible Maahad Tahfiz that has produced hundreds of Qur’an memorizers (huffaz).
Nigeria
In partnership with Shaykh Nuruddin Lemu and the Islamic Institute of Nigeria, YAT empowers women through basic literacy (English & Mathematics) and vocational training.
Strategic Partners
One of YAT’s core advantage is its wide global network of collaborators connected through the people within YAT. These partners act as YAT’s on-ground executors, translating our missions around the world while remaining fully aligned with our intent. This enables highly efficient implementation and elevates our relationships to a more advanced level, as due diligence, documentation and reporting can be fulfilled smoothly and effectively.
