To uplift and transform the Muslim society from their educational poverty in the light of true knowledge which leads one back to Allah
We started out as a small group of likeminded individuals from the university Jamia Millia Islamia who wanted to do something for our society. We saw the poverty in the Muslim community and decided to do something to curb it from our end.
We sponsor students from financially weak Muslim families who are unable to afford their education. We specifically support students who have a desire to study but are unable to do so because of their financial situation.

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, "A believer to another believer is like a building whose different parts enforce each other." The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) then clasped his hands with the fingers interlaced (while saying that).

Ibn Umar reported:

Furqan Khan lives in Gaya, Bihar with his mother and younger brother. His mother works as a housemaid and works hard to make sure that Furqan studies well. He was previously enrolled at Banat Model school however the school did not provide quality education and Furqan managed through the successive lockdowns by going for tuitions.
After being selected for sponsorship by the group, he was shifted to a better school. Furqan now studies in class 2 at Guardian Public School. Furqan is a passionate young boy who wants to study. He has some trouble with his studies from time to time perhaps due to the events in the last two years. But he shows positive signs and his mentor is working hard with him. We pray that Allah (SWT) makes the road ahead easy for him and his family.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) as saying:
"Whoever removes a worldly hardship from a believer, Allah will remove one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection from him. Whoever conceals(the fault of) a Muslim in this world, Allah will conceal him(his faults) in this world and the Hereafter. Allah will help a person so long as he is helping his brother..."
