Madrasahs, along with maktabs (or kuttab), trace their traditions back through nearly a thousand years of Islamic learning. Till today, they remain the single most vital tool for preserving Prophetic knowledge and cultivating it amongst the masses of the Ummah.
Ummah Welfare Trust continues to support and strengthen these indispensable institutions. Through subsidies, renovations and sponsorship programmes, the charity has helped establish hundreds of madrassahs and maktabs in recent years, alhamdulillah.

Subsidising maktabs to teach children and orphans creates a profound Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity) legacy for you or the one on whose behalf you donate. The ongoing rewards you will receive for supporting maktabs include, but are not limited to:
- Every lesson imparted to young children.
- The knowledge and faith that the children absorb and the good actions that stem from them for the rest of their lives.
- Every class, lesson or dars attended by the child.
- The incalculable rewards of children learning Islam, its Book and its Sunan.
- Helping children develop a love of lifelong learning and a passion to serve the deen of Allah.
- The continued transmission of Islam to the next generation.
- The revival of Islam in the wider community.
