Take part in the ever-increasing reward. Support Love of the Quran by helping me study at Bayyinah Dream.



The Beginning

It all started when people in school would ask me about Islam. They would ask me "Why Islam?" or "What's so miraculous about the Quran?"  


Back then, my answer was "...I don't really know...." Now I am at a point where I am able to give dawah to my coworkers and fellow students. But I want more. Each question would lead back to the Quran. The Quran is an ocean and to be scholar, you start with the Quran. So much meaning is lost in translation. I desire to open up to any page of the Holy Quran and be able to understand it without the need of any translation.

I have grown up emmersed in learning the Quran but the emphasis was never on understanding. Now, Alhamdulilah, By the Grace of God, I have the opportunity to study at Bayyinah Dream and finally understand this honorable book. Alhamdulilah, I have been accepted to study at Bayyinah Dream for the 2015-2016 year, but I need your help. I need your help to make this dream a reality. I fear that I am unable to make use of this opportunity because of financial contraints. Bayyinah is only the beginning in studying Islam. The world does not need more blind followers, we need more leaders. 




Who am I?

My name is Mohammad Ali. (No...not Muhammad Ali, the world famous boxer...)

I am 20 years old, the oldest of 4. I am a sophomore in College studying Engineering. I love telling people about Islam and learning the religion. I have been studying Islam in various Masjids/Mosques since I was young. My goal is to bring a revival of Islam in America.

Thriving for Understanding since the Beginning

My thirst for Quranic Understanding has been growing ever since I was young. Every Ramadan, during the Taraweeh/Night prayers, I am clueless as the people around me are crying over the verses being recited. I want to feel the miracle of the Quran. I wish to be able to stand in prayer and truly connect with the word of God. 

I have decided to put my College education on hold to fulfill my mission of understanding the Qu'ran. 

The Vision

There are many programs overseas to learn and understand the Quran, however very few are in the United States. Bayyinah is one of the best programs in the world for english speakers. My intention for going into Bayyinah include understanding the quran, finishing my memorization of the quran, to be able to give dawah, and begin the steps of Islamic Scholarship. Most importantly, I want to attend Bayyinah Dream to strengthen my connection with the Creator.

I am oldest amongst my siblings and I have many leadership roles. Part of being a good leader is to be a great role model. The prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was described as a walking Quran. He practiced the Quran in his everyday life. He had the best of manners with everyone. He was known as the most honest and fair by the people even before he became a prophet. He is the ideal which we should strive for. So many people around the world believe that the Quran preaches violence and hate. 

I wish to be the change in a world where society is regressing back to ignorance.

The Project

For me to go to this program, I need your support. I hope to raise $7,000. A tuition payment of $4,000. The remaining $3,000 will be for the living expense for one year which will include rent for an apartment. By the end of the program, I will be able to speak fluent arabic and have a good understanding of Quran. I will then be able to pursue higher Islamic Studies. InshaAllah, After Bayyinah, I will attend Qalam Seminary and also go through The Islamic Online University by Dr. Bilal Philips.

Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret and in public, have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. [2: Al-Baqara-274]


On the authority of Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who said, ” Whoever relieves a believer’s distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allah will rescue him from a difficulty of the difficulties of the Hereafter. Whoever alleviates [the situation of] one in dire straits who cannot repay his debt, Allah will alleviate his lot in both this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals [the faults of] a Muslims, Allah will conceal [his faults] in this life and the Hereafter. Allah is helping the servant as long as the servant is helping his brother. Whoever follows a path in order to seek knowledge thereby, Allah will make easy for him, due to it, a path to Paradise. (Sahih Muslim)

Secondly, Share. Share this with your family and friends. The more people that hear about this, the higher chance I have to reach my goal. Share it on any social media, in person, using the Launch Good share buttons, get the word out. Your brother is in need.

Thirdly and Most Importantly, Make Dua'/Prayer. Pray for me and for the success of this campaign.

“Ask and you will be given, ask you will be given”[at-Tirmidhi]

“And when my servants ask you concerning me, [tell them] I am indeed near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls.”[surah al Baqarah; 2:187]

In the end of the day, Allah has power over all things. Whatever way you help, Allah will reward you. If I am not able to give you in return for this favor, know that the reward of Allah is everlasting. For every letter I learn, you will have a reward from it and for every letter I teach, you will have a reward from it. God has power over all things and he is the over-seer of all things.

Jazakumullah Khairan-May Allah Reward You,

Assalamu Alaikum-Peace be upon You,

Thank You for taking the time to Support.
