Abstract
The role of transnational Muslim faith-based NGOs (TMFBNs), which originated in a non-Muslim country in humanitarian activities, is somehow under-researched, explicitly in the case of COVID-19 response. In this brief article, I attempt to examine the role of TMFBNs from Germany that actively took part in the COVID-19 response in Pakistan. In doing so, I picked a case of two TMFBNs engaged in humanitarian work during the COVID-19 lockdown in Pakistan through their local organizational or individual partner. The article departs with a little exemplification of the Islamic teaching on charity and humanitarianism. Then, in addition to their succinct trajectory expressing the foundations of their origin in contrast to the usual assumption behind the formation of TMFBNs, I present their strategies and challenges of fundraising and disbursements.
