Al-Markazul Islami

Al-Markazul Islami (AMI) is a non-governmental, non-profit, and non-political charitable organization based in Bangladesh. Established in 1988 by Shahidul Islam, the organization focuses on providing services to underprivileged communities, combining Islamic values with social welfare initiatives. Its activities include healthcare, education, access to clean water, religious programs, and humanitarian aid. It was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic for playing a role in managing the burial of deceased individuals, particularly in Dhaka, where it handled approximately 6,500 cases under authorization from the Directorate General of Health Services. It has collaborated with international bodies such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to enhance its humanitarian efforts. In 2025, it was also involved in organizing a march for Gaza, advocating for Palestinian rights and condemning Israeli military actions.
