Story

🕌 Help Build Dormitories for Seven Jurists Institute – The Gambia

🏫 A Home for Young Quran Students – £20,000 Needed

Imagine being just six years old, waking at 4am to begin a day devoted to memorising the Holy Qur'an — but having no safe place to sleep.

At Seven Jurists Institute, Farato, The Gambia, 265 children are striving to become the leaders and scholars of tomorrow. Yet only 36 students currently have basic boarding facilities — and even those conditions are overcrowded and unsuitable.

We urgently need your support to build five new student dormitories, providing clean, safe accommodation for 60 young Quran students, including 9 orphans.

Your donation will not only shelter them — it will help raise a generation grounded in Qur'an, Sunnah, and knowledge.

🌟 About Seven Jurists Institute

Established: 2021

Students: 265 (198 boys, 67 girls)

Boarding: 36 students currently (29 boys, 7 girls)

Ages: 6–14 years old

Curriculum: Memorisation of the Holy Qur'an and Islamic Studies

Daily Schedule: From 4am Fajr until 9pm Isha

This project is managed by students of knowledge — graduates from the Islamic University of Madeenah, ensuring it is rooted firmly upon the Quran and authentic Sunnah.

Ustadh Abu Sulayman Sajjad, a trusted student of knowledge closely connected with HCR, has been supporting and overseeing this project for several years.

This fundraising appeal has been set up in consultation with him, and he is personally supporting this effort.

Insha’Allah, members of HCR are planning to visit the school in the coming months to witness the progress first-hand and to continue supporting its growth.

🤲 Why This Project Matters

📖 Children are memorising the Holy Qur'an and learning Islamic sciences, under the guidance of qualified graduates of Madeenah.

🍽 Students are fed three meals a day, ensuring their health and focus.

🧒 Many boarders are orphans — children who have no-one else.

By giving, you are providing shelter, security, Islamic education, and the foundations for a bright future — while investing in your Aakhirah.

📜 Allah's Promise for Those Who Support Knowledge and Charity

Allah سبحانه وتعالى says:

"And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, 'My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous.'"

(Qur'an 63:10)

The Prophet ﷺ said:

"When a man dies, all his deeds come to an end except three: Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him."

(Sahih Muslim)

Imagine — building a home for Quran students combines all three types of ongoing reward!

🏠 A home and space for learning = Sadaqah Jariyah

📚 Supporting Quran memorisation = Beneficial Knowledge

👦 Raising orphans and students = Dua from future righteous youth
