Its latest Charity Commission filing directs 73% of spending to charitable activities, holding roughly 6 months of reserves, though accounts are currently overdue or missing.

How we score charities +
The Clarity Score is a 100-point rating from UK regulator filings (Charity Commission for England and Wales, OSCR and CCNI). Four pillars — Accountability & Transparency (40), Financial Health (30), Financial Efficiency (20), and Community Support (10) — each scored on a continuous scale, not pass/fail cutoffs. A statutory inquiry sets the score to 0 automatically.
Accountability & Transparency
Scored from filings
40 points — filing history (15), trustee oversight (15, scaling up to a board of three or more), declared policies (10).
Financial Health
Scored from filings
30 points — reserves (15, full marks 3–24 months, tapering on both sides), income stability (10), liabilities to assets (5, scaling down as debt rises).
Financial Efficiency
Scored from filings
20 points — program expense ratio and fundraising cost, each on a graduated scale (not a single cutoff). Kept at 20% of the total: financial-ratio scoring alone is not a reliable effectiveness signal (see "why not just an overhead ratio?" below).
Community Support
Scored from filings
10 points — volunteer-to-staff ratio from Charity Commission workforce data, scaling continuously up to a 2:1 ratio.
Overall score
Sum of all pillar points. Display stars use the same bands as the labels: 90–100 → 5★ Exceptional; 75–89 → 4★ Good; 60–74 → 3★ Needs improvement; 1–59 → 2★ Poor; 0 → not rated.

Is The Khoja Shia Ithnaasheri Muslim Community of London a good charity? +
The Khoja Shia Ithnaasheri Muslim Community of London scores 76 out of 100 (4 stars — Good) on CharityCompare's Clarity Score, our independent read of its UK regulator filings. Around 73% of its spending goes to charitable activities and its accounts are missing. That reflects how transparent and financially healthy it looks on paper — it does not measure the real-world impact of its work, so treat it as one factor alongside the cause you care about. CharityCompare never tells you where to donate.
Is The Khoja Shia Ithnaasheri Muslim Community of London a legitimate charity? +
Yes — The Khoja Shia Ithnaasheri Muslim Community of London is a legitimate registered charity (charity number 288356). Verify it on the official register: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/-/charity-details/288356. Registration proves status; Clarity Score then summarises filing transparency on paper, not programme impact.
What is The Khoja Shia Ithnaasheri Muslim Community of London's charity number? +
The Khoja Shia Ithnaasheri Muslim Community of London's charity number is 288356. Check that number on the official register (Charity Commission, OSCR or CCNI) or this CharityCompare profile before you donate — scammers sometimes reuse real numbers on fake appeals.
What is The Khoja Shia Ithnaasheri Muslim Community of London's charity rating? +

The Clarity Score V1 sums four pillars from UK regulator filings: Accountability & Transparency (40 pts), Financial Health (30), Financial Efficiency (20), and Community Support (10). Stars use the same bands as those labels — 90+ is 5★ Exceptional. It is not an impact ranking.
Does The Khoja Shia Ithnaasheri Muslim Community of London have reviews and complaints? +
CharityCompare does not host public user reviews for The Khoja Shia Ithnaasheri Muslim Community of London. Instead you get a filing-based Clarity Score, cause spend, reserves and red flags such as late accounts (3 filing concern(s) noted on this profile).
