About LMBA

Established in 2026, LMBA is a community built on trust, transparency, and Islamic principles - supporting families in Luton during their time of need. Meet our committee.

Shariah Compliance

LMBA is not insurance. It is a community burial-support arrangement rooted in the Islamic Principles of Taʿāwun. Members contribute through Tabarruʿinto the Community Burial Waqf Fund, which is managed under agreed Shariah governance.

  • Contributions are Tabarruʿ- voluntary and irrevocable contributions to the Fund to gain the blessings from Allah.

  • Contributions do not create an individual savings balance or purchase a guaranteed payment.

  • Eligible burial support is provided through discretionary Grants from the Community Burial Waqf Fund.

  • A Shariah Advisor oversees the structure and its continued application.
