Assalaamu 'alaikum!

Let me introduce you to Mikail Abdush-Shakur, a dedicated young man who’s only 19 but already making big life choices for the sake of his faith. Not long ago, he was set on a career in real estate, but he quickly realized how much interest (ribā) was involved, and it weighed on him. After making istikhārah, he saw every door closing, and he took it as a clear sign from Allah that he needed to change direction. Something else that served as a motivation for him to change course was him witnessing his best friend get murdered right in front of him. Now, he feels a deep calling to study Islam and share that knowledge with others, in shaa Allaah. He’s ready to commit his life to this path – but he needs our support to reach his destination: Egypt!

Alhamdu Lillaah, once Mikail arrives, his tuition and living expenses are covered, thanks to a generous sponsor. There's also an entire community of people he knows waiting on him. We just need to help him get there and provide initial support to settle in. Your contributions will go toward:

1. Airfare to Egypt
2. Some religious attire
3. Books and school supplies
4. Passport and travel essentials
5. Spending money for his first few months

“Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise.” (Sahih Muslim)

Here’s a chance to earn sadaqah jāriyah – support Mikail’s journey, and may Allah multiply your reward!
