Hafs Academy’s Ramadhan Financial Help Appeal

Assalaamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,

All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the universe. May peace and blessings be upon Muhammad (SAW) and all those who followed him on the path of righteousness.

Hafs Academy has designed a robust Hifz programme that allows students to complete the memorisation of the entire Qur’an by the time they sit for their GCSEs. Students also have the option to stretch themselves with the option of completing their memorisation by year 9. 

With the help of Allah, Hafs Academy has produced more than 20 Huffaz who are currently serving in our communities, leading Taraweeh prayer and Jumu’ah prayer etc. During the lockdown period last year, more than 5 students have completed their Hifz, Alhamdulillah.

In addition, more than 15 male and female teachers have completed advanced Qari courses and have attained their Ijaazah from the esteemed Qari Bashir Ahmad in Madinah.

What are we doing?

However, due to the current circumstances, Hafs Academy is experiencing extreme financial difficulty which is making it very hard for the school to survive. 

Ramadhan is the ideal opportunity for us, to not only invest in our hereafter but also in our children, who will Insha Allah be the righteous leaders for our future generations and the legacy that we leave behind us. 

The Prophet (saw) would give charity throughout the year but increase his sadaqah during Ramadan. 

Ibn Abbas (ra) said, ‘The Prophet (saw) was the most generous of people, and he was most generous during Ramadan.’ [Bukhari]

 As Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an-

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا۟ وَءَاثَٰرَهُمْ. وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ فِىٓ إِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ.

“Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have sent before them and their traces they have left behind. And We have taken account of everything in a clear record.” {36:12}

 Under the commentary of this verse, Qataadah (ra) has said that the footsteps you take to go to the masjid which the wind has wiped away, even they are preserved. 

 So imagine the reward for our efforts to create Huffaz and scholars who have mastered both beneficial knowledges. The results of this effort will benefit the generations coming after us until Yawm ul Qiyaamah. 

Would that effort go unnoticed? This is the legacy we want to leave behind.

We therefore humbly and urgently request all of our respected well-wishers and supporters for their generous help during the blessed month of Ramadhan. Any donation, big or small, will undoubtedly help Hafs Academy continue producing Huffaz, scholars and role models for our Ummah. 

‘The best charity is that given in Ramadhan.’ [Tirmidhi]

‘Charity does not decrease wealth.’ [Sahih Muslim]

‘Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.’ [Tirmidhi]

‘Charity wipes out sins just as water extinguishes fire.’ [Tirmidhi]

We pray that Allah gives us success in our pursuit to raise the level of Islamic and secular education in Britain and we thank all those who are supporting us in our endeavour.
