Zakat Campaign

Give Your Zakat, Help a Child Preserve the Qur'an with Ijazah

Every year, Allah ﷻ places a trust in your hands: a portion of your wealth that is not fully yours to keep, but belongs to those He has named. This year, let your Zakat open the door of the Qur'an for a child whose family cannot afford it.

Allah ﷻ says in Surah At-Tawbah:

إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَاتُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْعَامِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِي الرِّقَابِ وَالْغَارِمِينَ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ ۖ فَرِيضَةً مِّنَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

“Zakah expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect [zakah] and for bringing hearts together [for Islam] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the [stranded] traveler; an obligation [imposed] by Allah. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.”

Surah At-Tawbah · Qur'an 9:60

Who Your Zakat Reaches

Among the eight categories Allah ﷻ named, the poor (al-fuqarā'), the needy (al-masākīn), and those striving in His cause (fī sabīlillāh) are exactly who your Zakat reaches through Mizmaar Institute.

الفقراءal-Fuqarā' The Poorالمساكينal-Masākīn The Needyفي سبيل اللهFī Sabīlillāh In His Cause

Your Zakat will be directed only toward students and families who cannot afford tuition for our Qur'anic memorization programs, so that no child is turned away from learning the Book of Allah for lack of means.

Our Commitment to You

100% Zakat-eligible.

Every dollar given through this campaign is used strictly within the categories Allah ﷻ has prescribed for Zakat, directly supporting students in need.

100% goes to the cause.

Not a portion, not a percentage: the full amount of your Zakat donation is spent on tuition support for students who cannot otherwise afford the program.

Complete sincerity and transparency.

As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, Mizmaar Institute is accountable for how every dollar is used, and we hold ourselves to that trust with full transparency to our donors.

Give your Zakat with confidence, knowing it reaches those Allah ﷻ has named, and gives a child the gift of the Qur'an.

Our Commitment

A Real Opportunity for Everyone to Learn the Qur'an

One of Mizmaar Institute's core objectives is to give every individual a real opportunity to learn the Qur'an properly, regardless of the path that fits their life.

Whichever path a person takes, Mizmaar Institute is committed to meeting them there. In affirming that everyone deserves this same opportunity, we remain dedicated not only to the students who walk through our doors, but to the wider Muslim community across Chicagoland.

Helping families of every background access an authentic, chain-connected Islamic education.

01

Full-Time Hifz

Some students commit to our full-time Hifz program, memorizing the entire Qur'an under structured, daily instruction.

02

After-School Program

Others build their memorization and recitation skills two days a week, around school and family life.

03

Community Services

Others come to us for Nikah officiation, pre-marriage counseling, or our events, as a way to stay connected to their faith.
