About This Fundraiser

It is difficult to measure or describe the impact that Zaytuna College, under the leadership of Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, has had on me and countless others. For many years, through dynamic programming, publications, and retreats, Zaytuna College has been a beacon of hope and enlightenment for Muslims, young and old, all over the world.

Zaytuna's work created a ripple effect. Other communities began to develop their own local educational efforts, young men and women were inspired to pursue traditional Islamic studies, and how we engaged in discussing Islam was forever changed.

Now, we have the opportunity to support this vital institution through the 12000 Strong monthly giving program. For only $1 a day, you can receive a share of the reward and blessings that one prays the trailblazers at Zaytuna College receive. You will also enjoy many other benefits including:

  1. Exclusive access to the monthly First Command Book Club with Shaykh Hamza Yusuf in an interactive and intimate setting.
  2. Subscription to the Read and Rise monthly newsletter.
  3. Access to special online events with Zaytuna faculty.
  4. Exclusive discounts at the Zaytuna Bookstore, which carries a curated selection of must-have books from the Western and Islamic traditions, gifts, and much more.


As a reminder to us all, the Prophet ﷺ said:

"Wealth is not diminished by charity." He also said, "The most beloved acts to God are the most consistent, even if small."
