Maktabs for Syrian Children

Children have paid the heaviest price in Syria’s long conflict. Endless bombings and displacement have replaced their childhoods, education and hopes.

Ummah Welfare Trust needs your help to sow the seeds of a new future for these innocent children. The charity is running free maktabs to educate Syrian refugees and orphaned children.

For more than a thousand years, maktabs (or madrasahs) have cultivated and safeguarded Islam’s pristine teachings. Till today, they remain the most vital tool in safeguarding and growing Islamic knowledge, tarbiyyah and ideas.

‘Lo! Indeed the world is cursed. what is in it is cursed, except for remembrance of Allah, what is conducive to that, the knowledge person (scholar) and the learning person (student).’
[Tirmidhi]
