Sponsor a Student or Teacher

“Who is it that will lend to Allah a good loan, which Allah will multiply many times over? And it is Allah who withholds and grants abundance, and to Him you shall return.”
— [Surah Al-Baqarah: 245]

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“When a person dies, all his deeds come to an end except for three: a continuous charity (Sadaqah Jāriyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.” — [Sahih Muslim]

Sponsor a Student of the Qur’an or Islamic Knowledge

Imagine the reward of every letter recited, every verse memorised, every student who becomes a Hafiz or scholar, conveying the message of Allah جل جلاله to future generations. All while you sit at home—yet your account of good deeds continues to grow. This is Sadaqah Jāriyah in its most luminous form: ongoing charity, knowledge from which benefit is drawn, and the prayers of pious children and learned souls on your behalf.

 

At My Sheikh Online, we are dedicated to transforming lives by offering children from disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to become Huffaz and students of Islamic sciences through our Hifz Sponsorship Programme.

This noble sponsorship provides:

  • A comprehensive Qur’anic education rooted in sound Tajweed and Tarbiyah
  • Spiritual nurturing and moral development
  • Access to Islamic learning for orphans and underprivileged children who would otherwise remain deprived

The average duration for completing the Hifz programme is 4 to 5 years. Throughout this time, we keep you connected with regular updates and an annual progress report, so you can witness the fruits of your generosity. You will also receive a welcome pack introducing you to the student you sponsor and more details about the programme.

Sponsorship Options:

  • £50 per month via direct debit
  • £600 annually as a single payment
  • £300 bi-annually (two payments per year)

 

Your sponsorship is more than just financial support — it is a lifeline, a means of preserving the Book of Allah in the hearts of the next generation, and a source of continuous reward for you in this world and the next.

Sponsor a Teacher of Islam

Throughout Islamic history, scholars and teachers were revered as torchbearers of divine guidance — inheritors of the Prophets.

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets. And indeed, the Prophets do not leave behind gold or silver, but only knowledge. So whoever takes it has taken a great share.” — [Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi]

Our teachers are the vessels through which knowledge flows and hearts are awakened. By sponsoring a teacher, you’re enabling a scholar to dedicate themselves wholly to their students, to the Qur’an, and to the revival of Islamic understanding — without the burden of financial hardship.

At My Sheikh Online, we strive to honour and support our scholars, many of whom are raising families while selflessly serving the Ummah. Your sponsorship ensures that these teachers can continue their noble mission with dignity and security.

Sponsor a Teacher for just £50 a month

Your sponsorship will directly support:

  • A qualified Islamic teacher’s living expenses
  • Their ability to teach full-time without financial strain
  • The development of students under their care — multiplying your reward

A Lasting Legacy

Whether you sponsor a student or a teacher, you are planting seeds that will bear fruit long after you leave this world.

“And whatever you spend in the way of Allah – it will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.”
— [Surah Al-Anfal: 60]

Leave behind more than wealth — leave behind a legacy of light, guidance, and reward that continues to benefit you for generations to come.
