Ummah Welfare Trust needs your help to sow the seeds of a new future for these innocent children. The charity is running free maktabs to educate Syrian refugees and orphaned children.

For more than a thousand years, maktabs (or madrasahs) have cultivated and safeguarded Islam’s pristine teachings. Till today, they remain the most vital tool in safeguarding and growing Islamic knowledge, tarbiyyah and ideas.

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.
