It is said, if you can be an Alim, be an Alim.
And if you can't,
Be a Student, And if you can't be a Student,
Then Love them, and if you can't Love them,
Then don't Despise them.
-Said Awoon Bin Abdullah to Omar Bin Abdul Aziz

Our mission
We empower underprivileged students, by utilizing Zakat to provide access to quality Islamic education, essential resources, and mentorship. We do this by removing financial barriers that hinder their ability to pursue knowledge, enabling them to focus on memorizing the Quran and gaining Islamic scholarship.
We aim to create a future where every aspiring student of knowledge, regardless of their socioeconomic background, has the opportunity to memorize the Quran, gain Islamic scholarship, and contribute to their community. Our goal is to strengthen the fabric of our ummah and preserve the legacy of Quranic and Islamic learning for generations to come.
We strive to provide psychological support and spiritual guidance to students living in challenging circumstances, enabling them to reach their full potential. Through our ongoing Zakat-supported projects, we offer financial assistance to students from underprivileged communities, including orphans and refugees.
Zakat FAQs
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam, a mandatory act of charity given by Muslims who can afford it to assist those in need.
Any Muslim who possesses a specific amount of wealth or financial assets (known as Nisab) is obligated to pay Zakat.
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must have before they are liable to pay Zakat. This amount is often equivalent to the value of 3 ounces of gold.
The general amount of Zakat is 2.5% of the total assets that are liable for Zakat. This can vary depending on the type of assets.
Zakat should be distributed to those in need, which may include the poor, the needy, travelers, those in debt, and others specified in the Quran.
Zakat is typically paid once a year during the month of Ramadan. However, it can be paid at any time of the year.
To calculate Zakat, one must first determine their total assets subject to Zakat, subtract any debts, and then apply the 2.5% rate to the remainder.
Yes, you can pay Zakat to a family member, as long as they fall into the categories of eligible recipients and they are not your spouse or your direct descendants or ascendants.
