Trust is synonym with the fragile issue but really in need for every humankind to have it. Trust somehow will bring individuals or organizations to raise funds easily by convincing people through good communication and sympathy. However, this situation might lead to harm when the receiver misused the fundraised and ultimately will give a negative impact on the public at large. Due to this matter, this study aims to understand the trust development in raising funds among the Muslim community. This study had interviewed six (6) people from different backgrounds to understand the trust that they had before and after giving funds to the individual or to the organization. By looking at the theory of trust, this study found trust becomes a religious persuasion among the Muslim community. It becomes a norm for helping others with the belief to receive rewards from God on the day of judgment. Therefore, trust has a powerful connection towards fundraising issues in the Muslim community.
