Since launching the Islamic Scholars Fund in 2015, we have distributed over $9.3 million to scores of deserving scholars and students around the world on a regular, monthly basis. The impact this is having in our communities, both now and into the future, is tremendous.
Help us reach $3 million this year through your zakat to support the most deserving and needy Scholars, as well as students of knowledge around the world - young men and women who are devoting their lives to help keep the torch of the Prophetic tradition alive.
The Keys to Revival:
Support Our Scholars &
Secure Our Future
Our Ummah faces critical challenges, and the revival of our communities depends on preserving authentic Islamic scholarship. Scholars, as inheritors of the Prophets, play a crucial role in guiding us through these turbulent times.
The Islamic Scholars Fund supports scholars and students leading this mission. We aim to raise $500,000 by Rabi ul Awwal to provide them with the necessary resources to continue their vital work.
Together, we hold the keys to the revival of our Ummah. By supporting our scholars, we safeguard sacred knowledge for future generations and ensure the light of Prophetic guidance remains bright.
About us
Islamic Scholars Fund
The questions now are how will the scholars of tomorrow arise? Where will the scholars of tomorrow go to seek this knowledge and take it back to their communities? And what do we expect to change if we’re not supporting young students to study and become the scholars of tomorrow?
This is why the Islamic Scholars Fund matters.
Our Islamic Scholars Fund supports deserving Islamic scholars and students of Islamic knowledge—including (critically) dozens of Syrian scholars and students, thereby empowering them to teach, serve their communities, and to spread Prophetic guidance. We’ve also invested around the world in supporting the most capable scholars and students of Islamic knowledge to become future scholars and teachers of the highest caliber.
1. Support the most deserving scholars & students
2. Empower them to spread and seek Prophetic Guidance
3. Transform millions of lives through the spread of Prophetic Light
The Islamic Scholars Fund operates on Fund Policies devised through careful consultation with a wide network of scholars in the West and East. It has been supported by scholars and leaders, including Habib Umar bin Hafiz, Imam Zaid Shakir, Shaykh Yahya Rhodus, and Imam Siraj Wahaj, among others.
Supporting Islamic scholars is among the highest of Ummatic imperatives today.

Testimonials
“
“The Islamic Scholars Fund has been helping scholars in areas of conflict to teach–so that lands ravaged by war won’t be ravaged by the removal of the scholars and the elimination of knowledge.”
“
“Whatever crisis we are facing in the world today never eliminates our need for accurate and reliable religious knowledge, and for this reason, it is absolutely critical that we support religious scholars across the world.”
“
“Learning religion doesn’t often lead to a career where we can sustain our families. We teach people for the sake of Allah, but in doing so livelihoods can become difficult. Many scholars will not say that they are struggling, because there is no honor in poverty. Yet, poverty still exists. That is why the Islamic Scholars Fund needs your support; to help those people who have given up their time, their lives, and their careers for the sake of Allah.”
“
“The Islamic Scholars Fund is the world’s greatest secret, and one day its fruits will save millions of souls. Every scholar or student you support impacts hundreds of people. This is an opportunity to invest in this legacy that is multiplied exponentially. This is an amazing sadaqa jariya, and you can have a journey in that goodness.”
“
“The Islamic Scholars Fund ensures that some of the highest calibers of Muslim scholars of our time, together with students with high potential, can continue to bless our generation through the inheritance which our Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) left; Knowledge. Even those who never took the path of scholarship in their lives have the opportunity to lift the burden from a scholar, thus facilitating for them to continue the Prophetic legacy.”
“
“My studies were only possible through the support of the Islamic Scholars Fund. I don’t know if I will be able to finish my studies because of the uncertainty of this fund– Sadly, I have seen many Shuyukh and scholars having to quit their studies to be able to provide for themselves.”
