There is a crisis in inner-city Muslim communities. There is an immediate need to provide financial assistance to students and teachers of sacred knowledge. In our times, information is spread quickly through channels such as social media. Therefore, there is a need for us to learn our sacred knowledge in a structured manner with teachers that have chains of narration that connect back to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
Without financial support, it is nearly impossible for seekers of knowledge to sacrifice their time and livelihoods to become qualified teachers. And, without compensation, teachers and Imams are unable to teach as they are fully capable because they must dedicate themselves to earning a living, to provide for their families. In communities with fully-supported Islamic Centers and mosques, Imams and teachers are provided salaries. However, in less economically prosperous communities, most Imams are not provided a salary and there are not enough funds to support teachers and students. Your zakat-eligible donation will help us:
