The first and only Muslim charity that provides interest-free loans.


Let's save people from falling into depression, student debt and worse,  War with Allah and His Messenger (PBUH)


Sound serious?  It absolutely is.  You might be thinking what could lead to depression and “War with Allah”?  To find out, we will let you hear from a few that dealt with this issue. 

Meet Us


Meet Asma, Naim, Abrar, and Sara.  They each have a story to tell which you may find very familiar or you have a loved one who will go through something similar if not worse.  Before they tell their stories, ask yourself, when you were younger did you hear the common phrase “Go to college so you can get a good job”.  Absolutely!  We all heard this throughout our youth and probably are now even saying it to others.  For the vast majority of us, going to college or university is a top priority.  However, with the astronomical increases in student tuition, many families are now asking “Can we even afford college”?

Our Problem

The problem with student loans is simple, it's interest based.  As observant Muslims, we are commanded to avoid interest at all cost and its consequences are serious.  Other than the religious implications of having an interest-bearing loan,  studies show students who graduate with excessive debt are more likely to say that it caused delays in major life events, such a buying a home, getting married, or having children.  What's worse is the amount of stress and guilt a student faces knowing they have a loan that is growing constantly, weighing on them and their families. 


As you can see, the challenges of studying at institutions of higher education go beyond the classroom.  It's dealing with the constant fact that there is a student loan that needs to be paid and because of the interest rate, the amount is growing rapidly.  Depression and anxiety are a few of the emotional tests students must face which could have a detrimental effect on their grades.  This constant worry doesn’t go away after graduation but rather it continues years into a student’s career. 


A Continous Charity Changes Our Lives


When Asma, Naim, Abrar, and Sara applied for an interest-free loan.  We saw more than numbers on an application.  We saw the future of our communities.  In recent studies, those with higher education are more likely to be engaged with their community.  Our hope is to bring about a generation of graduates that will have a strong Muslim identity and be well-versed in their fields, using BOTH for the benefit of mankind.


Who is A Continous Charity 



In a nutshell, we are the first and only Muslim non-profit organization that provides interest-free loans for higher education.  But in reality, we are more than the few people working at the office, A Continuous Charity is made up of thousands of generous donors and supporters.  A Continuous Charity would not exist without YOU.  You are the reason we have been able to loan out close to $1,000,000 to students saving students over $557,000 in interest. 

Our Message to You


We are encouraging you to leave your legacy behind and support A Continuous Charity.  Your donation is more than a one time gift but rather a form of Sadaqa Jariah, a form of charity that continues to benefit us even when we have passed from this world.  Also, your gift is truly continuous in every sense of the word.  Your donation will be loaned to a student who in return pays back A Continuous Charity without any interest which we will then re-loan to another student and the cycle continues all over again.  That's our story, so give the gift that keeps on giving, donate to end the cycle of riba.
