Sadaqah Jariyah
Plant a seed of light in a child's heart
مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ
"The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed of grain that grows seven ears; in each ear is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies for whom He wills." Qur'an 2:261
Ways to give
Every kind of help is welcome
Whether you give money, food, clothes, books or your time, it all helps a child stay close to the Book of Allah.
Give money
Where your sadaqah goes
Every gift, however small, keeps a child connected to the Book of Allah. Choose the cause closest to your heart.
Sponsor a Student
Cover a child's lessons so a family that cannot afford fees never has to choose between bread and the Qur'an.
A Mushaf for Every Child
Place a copy of the Qur'an, writing slates and learning materials in the hands of every student.
Build the Center
Help us with classrooms, mats, shade, water and a dignified space to learn and pray.
Where Most Needed
Let the teachers direct your sadaqah to the center's most urgent needs.

Your sadaqah, a child's lifelong light
When a child learns a verse because of your gift, every time they recite it, teach it or act upon it, the reward continues, by the permission of Allah, long after the gift was given.

Donation FAQs
“When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.”
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ · Sahih Muslim 1631
Supporting a child's Qur'an education joins all three: it is ongoing charity, it spreads beneficial knowledge, and it raises righteous children.
“Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.”
