With your support alhamdulilahi Rabil Alameen we have raised $20,000 in two weeks since the launch of our campaign to reach our all-or-nothing goal to sponsor 400 brothers and sisters with 6 months of support in our program!
With your support we would like to sponsor an additional 100 members to participate in our program.
We as a team have decided to add an additional $5,000 stretch goal to our campaign. All partial-funds will be collected at the end of our campaign.
Let us do this again!
We are Purify Your Gaze and for thousands of Muslims across the world who are impacted by pornography addiction, we are their safe place for acceptance, guidance, and healing.
We want to make healing accessible to all, regardless of where they are in the world and regardless of their financial ability.
With your backing, we are looking to launch our scholarship program with $20,000 we will use to make our essential services accessible to clients in financial hardship.
These funds will allow us to empower 400 individuals and their families with six months of support, guidance, and tools through our program to get their lives and relationships back from the control of pornography addiction.
(Watch this short video above to learn about this initiative and support us today in making a powerful difference in our communities.)
With the advent of technology and the Internet, pornography has become easily accessible, with more than 68% of young men and 18% of young women viewing it at least once a week.
For many individuals, their repeated use will lead to dependence resulting in devastating consequences, including:
And these effects are not absent from the Muslim community.
Because of the taboo nature of pornography, it generates a lot of shame and it is incredibly difficult for an addict or their family member to find or ask for help.
Without a safe network to reach out for support or counsel, often times the only respite from pain for many addicts becomes none other than their drug.
Purify Your Gaze is the first and only organization that has created a safe and anonymous platform for Muslims globally seeking support and treatment from pornography addiction.
Since 2009, we’ve been able to reach 57,000 Muslims seeking resources for recovery and we’ve been able to assist more than 2,000 in our programs.
Our 8 step Islamically-congruent therapeutic model for change empowers individuals to tackle and heal the underlying reasons that were fueling their addictive behaviors.
More importantly, it helps individuals find new and healthy ways of relating to self, to life, to others, and to God.
Our alumni include artists, doctors, students of sacred knowledge, entrepreneurs, community activists, huffaadh, and wonderful fathers and mothers. As a result of their participation in our program they have become more loving and giving.
Here are some testimonials from clients who have found healing through the power of our program:
In spite of our program's affordability, we receive multiple requests a day to join from full-time students, those in between jobs, or individuals that come from countries with weak currencies.
The predicament of needing professional support for such a sensitive situation, but not being able to afford it for some can be doubly shameful, and so many in such situations do not seek out the support they need altogether.
We don't want to see that happen to anyone which is why we've launched our scholarship program.
Our vision with this scholarship program is with the Muslim community's support to further subsidize or when appropriate waive the fees altogether for our services for all clients in financial hardship.
Through this LaunchGood campaign, we are starting our scholarship program with the achievable goal of supporting 400 clients for six months.
We hope to exceed this amount and hit our 2017 goal which is to ultimately support 1200 individuals!
We all have struggles and wounds, and we all deserve to have a safe place for support and healing.
It is our obligation as a community to give a hand to those who need our support as the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said as narrated in Sahih Muslim:
“Whoever removes a grief from a believer from amongst the sorrows of this life, Allah will remove a grief from him amongst the sorrows of the Day of Resurrection. Whoever brings ease to one in difficulty, Allah will make it easy for him in this life and the Hereafter. Whoever covers a Muslim, Allah will cover him in this life and the Hereafter. Allah is in aid of the servant so long as the servant is in aid of his brother." 
It’s true that pornography addiction is often associated with dark, painful and ugly stories - but through your generosity, you will enable a new chapter to be added:
A chapter where sincere brothers and sisters will God willing able to turn their lives and relationships around from despair and destruction to deep levels of love, light, meaning, and intimacy.
1. Please select one of the giving levels and sponsor a Brother or Sister's journey towards healing and change.
2. Please pray for the success of this organization and for Allah SWT to grant a full recovery and healing to all individuals and families impacted by pornography addiction.
3. Share this LaunchGood campaign via email and social media with all your family and friends.
Jazakum Allahu Khairun
