لَن تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّىٰ تُنفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ ۚ
وَمَا تُنفِقُوا مِن شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ
“By no means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye love; and whatever ye give, of a truth Allah knoweth it well.”
(Qur’an 3:92 )
In the Mauritanian village of Nabāghīyah, around 400 scholars, students, and people inneed are provided with meals every Ramadan. Most of them are young seekers ofknowledge who have dedicated their lives to learning and preserving the Islamicsciences.
Many of them live under very modest conditions: in self-built tents in the desert withminimal resources. For much of the year, their diet consists mainly of rice and bread, while water is drawn from nearby wells.
In order to enable these heirs of the Prophet Muhammad – may Allah bless him and grant him peace – to experience a dignified and blessed Ramadan, the teachers (Shuyūkh)of the village established a beautiful tradition several years ago: At least two meals per day for all students.
Iftar: Meat dishes with millet and soup
Suḥūr: Bread, eggs, and tea
The cost is approximately €2 per person per day.
With your donation - no matter how small it may seem - you directly contribute to preserving knowledge, strengthening dignity, and protecting a centuries old tradition of learning.
Zakat donations are also welcome.
