Sadqa-e-Jaria…
Allah says in the Holy and Noble Book of Quran in Surah Al-Hadid(الحديد) that:
Giving a gift of Education is the greatest gift one may bestow upon the humanity. It is the duty of all Muslims to learn and those who help make this possible sure have the highest reward from Allah capturing blessings and rewards (as mentioned in the Ayats of the Noble Quran) will succeed in both worlds.
Again in another place in Surah Al-Munafiqun(المنافقون) Allah states:
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
The American Islamic University (AMISUN) is a remarkable initiative that began without any external funding or assistance from nobility, government, wealthy individuals, or large corporations. It was founded by an individual with a vision to provide higher education degree programs to both Muslims and non-Muslims living in the Western world. Our aim is to offer an education that stays true to the pure teachings of Islam, as documented in its original texts, rather than the adapted practices of various sects and groups.
AMISUN also serves young adults and students who have completed Madrassah and Islamic high school programs in the United States and other Western countries. For those whose career goals include attaining the highest degrees in Islamic studies, our programs are designed to equip them with both contemporary worldly skills and a strong foundation of moral and ethical principles. Students at AMISUN exemplify the best in human conduct, dealings, ethics, and lifestyle practices.
At AMISUN, we offer more than just degrees; we provide a holistic ethical and moral lifestyle based on Islam as a “Complete Social Order.” Our educational approach ensures that students not only gain knowledge but also embody the principles of Islam in their daily lives.
Your material and financial contributions are crucial to sustaining AMISUN’s mission. We have high hopes and a firm belief that Allah is the ultimate provider. Your generosity is greatly appreciated, and we trust that Allah will bestow His blessings upon those who contribute to His cause of educating humanity. May Allah’s blessings be with you.
Encouragement for Giving Charity to a Faith-Based Institution of Higher Education
We are blessed to be part of a community that values education and the pursuit of knowledge. Supporting faith-based institutions of higher education is an investment not only in our present but also in our future, both in this world and the Hereafter. Allah (SWT) and His Messenger (PBUH) have emphasized the immense rewards and virtues associated with giving charity, especially when it contributes to the spread of beneficial knowledge.
Support from the Quran:
- Allah (SWT) says in the Quran:“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] that sprouts seven ears; in every ear are a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:261)This verse highlights the exponential rewards for those who give charity for the sake of Allah. Supporting an institution that spreads Islamic knowledge ensures that the seeds of your charity grow into a vast harvest of good deeds.
- Allah (SWT) also says:“Believe in Allah and His Messenger and spend out of that in which He has made you successors. For those who have believed among you and spent, there will be a great reward.” (Surah Al-Hadid, 57:7)By contributing to educational institutions, we fulfill our role as successors of wealth, ensuring that our resources are used in ways that please Allah and benefit the Ummah.
Support from Hadith:
- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:“When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (continuous charity), knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him.” (Sahih Muslim)Supporting an Islamic educational institution combines two of these lasting deeds: continuous charity and beneficial knowledge, both of which will continue to benefit you even after your departure from this world.
- The Prophet (PBUH) also said:“The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity.” (Tirmidhi)Ensuring that future generations have access to quality Islamic education by donating to faith-based institutions will be your shade on the Day of Judgment, providing you with protection and reward.
Conclusion:
In light of these divine teachings, we encourage you to donate generously to support American Islamic University (AMISUN). Your contributions will enable the spread of authentic Islamic knowledge and nurture future leaders who embody Islamic values and ethics. By doing so, you not only benefit yourself in this life but also secure a lasting reward in the Hereafter.
