Contributions will empower us to produce more high-quality content and materials. It will also allow our scholars to focus exclusively on their work, without the need to seek additional employment. This support is essential for maximising their productivity and impact. Your contributions will be used to support our work, including but not limited to covering staff expenses, ensuring we can continue providing our services effectively. Please note that your contribution is more akin to a gift (hadyah) than a traditional donation to charity. Think of it as a helping hand that empowers us to sustain and grow our efforts in achieving our goals. We do not accept zakat donations.
We're dedicated to equipping Muslims with the knowledge and resources necessary to navigate the complexities of the modern world while remaining rooted in Islamic tradition.
Fawatih (فواتح) means beginnings; openings; commencements. The name is inspired by the famous Prophetic narration wherein the Prophet ﷺ said: "Islam began as something strange, and it will revert to being strange just as it began. So, glad tidings for the strangers" [Muslim].
