The ummah needs ʿilm. Now more than ever.
In a world drowning in misinformation, authentic Islamic knowledge has never mattered more. Your sadaqah is what keeps it accessible.

Why knowledge
The greatest sadaqah jariyah you will ever give
ʿIlm is unlike any other charity. A water well can run dry. A house can fall apart. Knowledge does not stop: fund a student today and they teach their family, their family raises children grounded in their faith, and the reward traces back to you without end.
Right now too many Muslims are far from it: no masjid in their city, no scholars in their country, a parent doing their best with very little. Your sadaqah closes that distance. AlMaghrib has been doing this for 24 years, and there are millions more to reach.

Questions
Before you give
The full donation policy, including how funds are governed and who to contact, is in our terms and policies.
Why is knowledge the greatest sadaqah jariyah?
ʿIlm is unlike any other form of charity. A water well can run dry. A house can fall apart. But knowledge does not stop. When you fund a student’s education, they teach their family, their family raises children grounded in their faith, and the reward traces back to you without end. The Prophet ﷺ named three deeds that continue after death: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for you. A gift to ʿilm is the first two in one.
Why does AlMaghrib need my sadaqah now?
Misinformation is one of the defining crises of our time. It shapes politics, breaks communities apart, and leaves people unable to tell truth from noise. Islam carries answers to the deepest questions of human existence, but those answers only reach people when the scholarship behind them is authentic, accessible and trusted. For too many Muslims it is not: some live in cities with no masjid, some in countries with no scholars, some in households where a parent is doing their best with very little. They deserve the same access to authentic scholarship as anyone else. AlMaghrib has been building that access for 24 years, and there are millions more to reach.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. AlMaghrib Institute Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 27-0091991, and gifts are deductible to the extent the law allows. Keep the emailed receipt as your record. Rules vary elsewhere; please check with a tax professional.Not for Canadian tax purposes. In Canada, AlMaghrib operates as a non-profit but is not a CRA registered charity, so your emailed receipt is a record of your gift, not a Canadian tax receipt. Please check with a tax professional about your own situation.In the UK you give to AlMaghrib Foundation, a registered charity (No. 1157315). Gift Aid is not yet offered at checkout; ask us at info@almaghrib.org whether it can be added to your gift. Please check with a tax professional about your own situation.
Will I get a receipt?
Yes. Every online gift gets an email receipt straight away, and it states whether any goods or services were provided in return. US law requires a written acknowledgment for any single gift of $250 or more, and we send one for every donation.
How is my donation used?
In 2024, 95% of spending went to programmes and 5% to administration and fundraising. Your gift funds seminars in theology, jurisprudence and spiritual development, online courses for students in over 100 countries, Studio production, mentorship, educational tours, scholarships, and free resources that reach more than 100,000 students a year.
Can I change or cancel a monthly gift?
Any time. Email donations@almaghrib.org or call (888) 256-2447 and we will update or stop it. Monthly gifts continue until you cancel unless you set an end date.
Is seminar tuition a donation?
No. Tuition and registrations are payments for education, so they are not charitable contributions.
Will my employer match my gift?
Many do, dollar for dollar. Search your company in the matching-gift lookup on this page, submit the request through your employer, then email donorcare@almaghrib.org so we can confirm when it arrives.
