Waqf & Giving

Modern giving infrastructure for a timeless tradition.

From the masajid of Madinah to the madrasas of Andalusia, waqf has funded Muslim education for fourteen centuries. RISE brings that tradition into the 21st century — transparent, accountable, and built to last generations.

100% of zakat is distributed to eligible institutions and students under qualified scholarly oversight.

Sadaqah Fund

Continuous sadaqah supporting day-to-day institutional needs — teacher salaries, books, transportation.

Perpetual

Waqf Endowment

Permanent capital invested ethically, with returns funding Islamic education in perpetuity — sadaqah jariyah at scale.

Sponsor a Student

Cover full tuition, hifz, or tarbiyah for one child for a year — and receive their progress updates.

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

Zakat, sadaqah, and waqf — what's eligible, how it's deployed, and how transparency works.

Pledge your support
  • Yes. Qualifying programs — scholarships, teacher stipends, and student support funds — are structured under the guidance of our Shariah advisory board to be zakat-eligible.

  • A donation is spent on programs today. A waqf is an endowment: the principal is preserved and only the returns are deployed, creating perpetual sadaqah jariyah for generations.

  • Annual independent audits, public financial reports, and a board of educators, scholars, and finance professionals. Every dollar is traceable from gift to impact.

  • Pledges collected in 2026 fund the founding-cohort launch — teacher training, accreditation onboarding, and the Muallim platform — with first disbursements in late 2026.
