• Why Support the SF Scholarship fund?

The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:

“When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him”. (Muslim, Tirmidhi and others)

By supporting our scholarship fund your money will help to lift the burden of Fad Kifaya (communal obligation) from the rest of the community. That is because if there are no learned people among us to guide us in matters of our din and matters of our daily living then all of us will be held accountable for failing to produce such people.

There is a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding in the west about Islam and the Muslims and there are few who are capable of presenting the true image of Islam due to ignorance and lack of correct knowledge. Therefore your contributions will help to disseminate the true message of Islam to the wider community and dispel all misunderstandings and false accusations.  

Every penny that you give will be an investment for the hereafter. Allah will reward you abundantly for your generosity in the hereafter. Allah (swt) has said in His Noble Book:

“The likeness of those who spend for Allah’s sake is as the likeness of a grain of corn, it grows seven ears every single ear has a hundred grains, and Allah multiplies (increases the reward of) for whom He wills, and Allah is sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knower).” (Surah al-Baqarah:261)

Likewise the Messenger of Allah (saw) said in a hadith:

“Allah receives charity by His right hand, and then He causes it to grow for each of you. Just as you raise a horse, colt, foal, or young weaned camel, so that morsel becomes as large as the mount of Uhud” (Reportded by Ahmad and Al-Tirmidhi who gared it Sahih)

The Messenger of Allah (saw) also said:

“Spend freely and generously in the way of Allah and do not count and calculate what you give away. If you do that, Allah will also give you likewise...” (Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Therefore if you want to earn your share of the rewards mentioned in the above verse and ahadith then support our scholarship fund and help create the future scholars and leaders of our Ummah. Every penny you donate will be for the scholarship fund. We guarantee that the donations for the scholarship fund will not be used for any other purposes except helping the students of sacred knowledge.
