Assalamu alaikum wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuh our dear brothers and respected sisters :)

Jazakum Allah Khairan and may Allah accept from you for donating last year. Alhamdulillah, with your support after the blessings of Allah, we were able to achieve these big milestones since last year’s Ramadan:

• Record the entire 800+ year history of Muslims in Andalus, on location, with over 10+ hours of high quality video.
• Research 400+ years of Muslim History in Sicily, which hasn’t been done in-depth before in English, and getting ready to record that history by next year insha’Allah.
• Doing an in-depth Tafseer of Surat Maryam which was recorded around beautiful nature and castles in Czech and Slovakia, over 8+ hours of recording.
• Recording an in-depth Tafseer of Surat Alhujurat in Turkey, with over 5+ hours of high quality recording.
• Giving lectures to local communities in 30+ cities in 6 countries by the blessing of Allah, which was done during the production of the courses, totaling approximately 5000+ students by the blessing of Allah.
• Recording the biographies of the Sahabah, such as Abu Ayoub Al-Ansari (r.a.a) right in front of his grave in Istanbul.
• We helped 4 people accept Islam during our travels by the blessing of Allah.

We have produced a short video which shows you a glimpse of our work during that year. We hope you love it :D : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF_Zn5OGonM

Now regarding moving forward after Ramadan insha’Allah, we are focused on editing and producing the recorded courses, which in order to be in a high quality, requires a bit of time and cost, but we are determined insha’Allah to finish producing and releasing the first course shortly after Ramadan insha’Allah, and to give you the free course as we promised (and another BONUS course to thank you for your patience :) yes, your patience will be reward, both by Allah and by us insha'Allah :) ).

We apologize to you for the delays, as Allah has tested us with a few calamities this year, but nothing will make us stop, and with your continuous prayers and support, we will be able to even do bigger things this year insha’Allah. We are planning to:

• Research and record the 600+ of the Ottoman Empire History.
• Record the 400+ of Muslim History in Sicily.
• Produce courses about Mental Health Treatment from an Islamic Perspective.
• Record the “Mothers of the believers” class.
• Visit more local communities to give lectures in their local mosques while filming the material.

We are looking forward to your prayers and continuous support so that we could achieve all these goals and more insha’Allah. We have ropened the fundraiser to get more funds for editing and recording more courses. Please kindly share this project on your facebook to maximize the reward and impact insha'Allah. We are now in the final 10 nights. Let us do our best! May Allah bless you and accept from you.

Assalamu alaikum my dearest brothers and sisters

If you could kindly share the project link with people, or slightly increase your contribution a little, then we would achieve our target and be able to start production after Ramadan immediately insha'Allah!

May Allah bless you for your valuable contribution and grow it for you to reach the size of the mountain of Uhud on the final day. Ameen!

Assalamu alaikum my dearest brothers and sisters.

Jazakum Allah Khair and may Allah bless you for supporting the Ilm Path Academy project! You are the first to do so and your reward insha'Allah will be higher than anyone who comes later, as you were there from the start to plant the first seeds! :)

I wanted to give you an update about the project so far. Alhamdulillah things started to move forward a few days ago,  but we still have a long distance from the target, and I had to lower the project target to encourage more people to participate. But I know insha'Allah we can do it if we work together as a team in these blessed days!

Therefore, I'm asking you kindly if you can spread the word and share more about this project. Put it on your facebook, send it to your friends by email, give your family a call and let everyone know about it. Educational projects often get far lower attention than food projects, but how can we move the Ummah forward if we only feed the stomach and not the heart and brain?!

Also since it is the final 10 days, if you feel like increasing your contribution, you can always do so. I have revised the projects gifts to make them more attractive than earlier, so you may want to check them out :) Please don't hesitate to send me any advice or questions on ask@ilmpath.com

May Allah bless you and accept all your prayers and deeds in the final 10 nights. Ameen :)
