"Illuminate Hearts, Build Futures: Support Rohingya Children Memorizing the Quran and education in Cox's Bazar – A Lasting Sadaqah Jariyah!"


The Rohingya Genocide

▪️The persecution against the Muslim Rohingya of Rakhine State traces back to 1977 when the Burmese government under Ne Win unilaterally stripped the entire community of their citizenship. In 2014, the government started issuing National Verification Cards (NVC) to the Rohingya that identified them as foreigners with no rights to property, work, or freedom of movement. 

▪️The genocide itself began in October, 2016 when the military junta began a campaign of violence against the Rohingya under the guise of conducting a “military crackdown” on terrorist groups in Rakhine State. Finally, on August 25, 2017, the Junta attacked again, this time more brutal than ever before, burning people and villages, and subjecting them to unimaginable horrors.

In fear for their lives, 723,000 Rohingya fled Rakhine state across the Naf river into Bangladesh, where they have been interned in the world's largest refugee camp ever since.

Conditions in the Camp

▪️The mass exodus from Myanmar took place practically overnight. When the dust had settled, over 1 million Rohingya had filled the Kutupalong-Balukhali network of camps. Today, more than half of the people living here are children. To make matters worse, the World Food Program has decreased the amount of rations each person gets from $12 to $10 per month, causing widespread hunger and starvation. 

▪️The overcrowding has also made other problems worse, such as poor sanitation, the spread of diseases, the lack of access to clean drinking water, and the outbreak of uncontrollable fires that destroy thousands of shelters every year.

 • We run Rohingya Noor Learning Center, 2 small schools with 60 students and 3 teachers in Cox's bazar refugee camp. We teach our students reading, writing, English, Burmese, math and science. With more funding we would love to add history to the curriculum as well. We have been working in the camp since August 2020, and opened the first school in July 2021 and second school in 2023.

Regular school 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------▪️Recently, with your support, we opened a Tahfizul Qur'an Alhamdulillah where almost 60 Rohingya Orphans and around children are memorizing the Qur'an. SubhanAllah, we have two Hafizs who teach the children day and night. We are paying them modest salaries and can continue this effort with your continued support. Alhamdulillah, we also support a Moulana (Arabic teacher) by providing a modest salary to teach children basic Arabic at the masjid so that children can write Qur'an and understand Qur'an insha'Allah.

The Emphasis on Education by the Prophet (PBUH)

Acquire Knowledge and impart it to the people (Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 107)

A father gives his children nothing better than a good education (Al-Tirmidhi) 

One who treads a path in search of knowledge has his path to Paradise made easy by Allah (Riyadh – us- Saleheen, 245)


May Allah (SWT) reward all those kind souls who help us.

Empowering Education: Update from Our Qur'an School (Madrasa)

Muntaha a 8 years old girl reciting quran. Please mail us for the video!"Update!Alhamdulillah, our Qur'an school is flourishing, thanks to your generous support! We inaugurated the Qur'an Madrasa on the 1st of Ramadan, and since then, our talented students have been diligently reciting the Quran. We invite you to watch videos of their beautiful recitations, including the soul-stirring tilawah of our Hafiz Arman. His recitation is so moving, it's sure to bring tears to your eyes. However, we are currently facing challenges in managing the salaries of our hafizs. We humbly request brothers and sisters to step forward and support us in keeping our schools running smoothly. Your contributions will enable countless Rohingya orphans and children to learn and memorize the Quran, a truly noble initiative that deserves our collective support. May Allah grant us all the ability to do what is right. Ameen.Note: Please mail us or WhatsApp us for the videos of Qur'an recitation of students and hafiz. We are not able to upload the video here!

We are currently looking for $2000 to build a Quran school

​Salam everyone,

Thank you for all of your generous donations! We are putting your gifts to good work as we speak!

 

Since our fundraiser has begun we have been able to open a second school which teaches the Myanmar curriculum, in line with the LCAF model approved for use by UNICEF. 

 

We have also hired 2 Hafez to teach reading and writing using the Quran to 120 students. We are currently using the local Masjid as a school, but this is only a temporary solution and we need to purchase another shelter large enough for all our students.


That is why we are asking for $2000 to purchase our new school, and renovate it with solar panels, a battery, and a well that will provide our students with clean drinking water and fire protection.

The Rohingya were subjected to genocide and expelled from Myanmar by the military junta. They are suffering without food and water and yet they don't want to neglect the religious education of their children. This Quran school will be an immense Sadaqah Jariya for those who support the campaign. Please join with us and don't lose the opportunity to support this important project.

Thank you for all of your help,
أتمنى لك الأفضل
