About this appeal

Put an orphan through school in Lebanon, Turkey or the Syrian refugee communities, where poverty and conflict keep many children out of the classroom. Your Sadaqah pays for their education, giving them the chance to break the cycle of poverty and build a dignified life.

Why Education for Orphans Matters

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "The one who cares for an orphan and myself will be together in Paradise like this," and he held his two fingers together (Sahih Bukhari). Education is not just a path to knowledge; it is a lifeline for orphans, offering them hope, stability, and the tools they need to succeed in life. By supporting education, you are investing in the future leaders of the Ummah and fulfilling an important Islamic obligation.

Why Your Support is Critical

By providing education for orphans, you are giving them the opportunity to escape poverty and build a better future. Your sadaqah and zakat will not only uplift their lives but also serve as an ongoing reward for you, as the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him" (Sahih Muslim).

Donate today to educate orphans and make a lasting impact on their lives and yours. May Allah (SWT) reward your generosity and grant barakah in your wealth and efforts.

When to Give Sadaqah

Sadaqah can be offered at any time and for any reason. Sadaqah can be given to commemorate or bring blessings to special occasions such as weddings, births, or other significant anniversaries. Muslims give Sadaqah as a sign of gratitude to Allah on these occasions (SWT). Sadaqah, on the other hand, can be given in times of sadness, illness, and bereavement, as well as on behalf of others, living or dead. What matters when giving Sadaqah is sincerity and seeking Allah’s pleasure, regardless of your motivation (SWT). Remember that giving Sadaqah does not deplete your assets. So give generously and fearlessly!
