Spread the Prophetic Legacy
Our mission is to free scholars from their financial shackles, allowing them to be pillars of support for their communities and lamps of guidance for those seeking knowledge.
“If I had been called on to buy a single onion, I would not have time to answer a single question” – Imam al-Shafiʿi
Our Vision
Classically, the inheritors of the tradition of Islam – the scholars and the seekers of knowledge – were supported by endowments so that they could better serve their own communities. Today, institutional support has vanished, leaving students unwilling to pursue knowledge and scholars handicapped in their attempts to both teach students and make ends meet for their own families. In the face of greater challenges from contemporary discourse and ideologies, these scholars and their students can serve as a barrier, protecting Muslims and advancing their interests.
Our Aims
We support individuals and programs:
– To fund the teaching of traditional courses and curriculums
– To fund the development of curriculum material
– To fund research and publications
– To fund full-time traditional study
– To support programs of teaching and study
Heroes for Hajj
In our Heroes for Hajj program, we take the unsung heroes and unrecognized, long-standing volunteers of our communities who lack financial means to the blessed cities of Mecca and Medina accompanied by notable scholars who teach them before and during their travels. Upon return, these heroes present educational reflections for the wider community.
“Those who spend their wealth in the Cause of Allah, and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury, their reward is with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve” – Surah al-Baqara, 2:262
