Help us break the cycle of poverty by educating the Ummah!


UPDATE! We have been amazed by the response and generous support of the ummah in this Noble project. Initially, our first milestone was $560,000 but we decided to raise a lower amount first. Due to this incredible support, we have decided to increase our target to the first milestone!

For all those who donated, the work with the current donations has already started! May Allah bless you all!


Why should education only be available for those who can afford it?

Millions and millions of people will be stuck and left with no education because of poverty

They will suffer, struggle and live a difficult life.

Their children will fall in the same cycle and go through the same struggles as their parents did.

BUT

YOU can put a stop to this!

IOU is providing free education for Muslims around the world. We want to break this cycle and empower people to seek knowledge and support themselves and their families!

Remember the Prophet (saw) said - "Charity does not decrease wealth

What's in it for you?

YOU get the reward of -

#1 Providing Free Education

#2 Helping people memorize the Quran

#3 Create students of knowledge

#4 Islamic Counseling

BONUS - Supporting one person's education is like a domino effect, when you support them, you empower them to study, get a job and then provide their kids with an education.


How Can You Help?

We ONLY need a total of 4,000 people to help us. If you donate just $100

You can be one of these people, or you can even donate for 10 people by giving $1,000, share it with your friends and family.

Share our video on Facebook and all social media platforms! 

"Those who spend their wealth [in Allah 's way] by night and by day, secretly and publicly - they will have their reward with their Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve."

 [The Qur’an, Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayah 274]

For our first milestone, we need to raise $400,000.

5 years ago you did this..

Salam Alaykum,



Dr. Bilal Philips here.



You might not remember this but 5 years ago you donated to our campaign to provide scholarships to underprivileged Muslims in Africa.



And I have some great news for you Alhamdulilah!



With your support we have already sponsored more than

4,000+ Muslims

students and many have ALREADY started to GRADUATE!




We have also established around 25 learning centers in more than 20 African countries, to serve the many students who don't have access to computers, internet, and electricity.




Inshaa Allah you will get the multiplying continuous rewards of helping them attain this beneficial knowledge.



The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "When a man dies all his good deeds come to an end except three: Ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge and a righteous son who prays for him."



I just wanted to reach out to you and personally thank you for your support. May Allah bless you and reward you and elevate your status in dunya and akhirah. Ameen!



And if you would like to continue supporting our cause, then I humbly invite you to make contribution in our updated campaign here:
