Story
Support the Resident Alim Programme at MY Foundation
At MY Foundation, we believe that strong communities are built through knowledge, guidance, and meaningful connection. This Spring, we were honoured to welcome Sheikh Jaffer Ladak as our Visiting Resident Alim, providing the Manchester community with regular access to authentic Islamic scholarship, pastoral support, youth engagement, educational programmes, and spiritual development.
Unlike one-off lectures or occasional events, a resident scholar offers something far more valuable: continuity. Through weekly tafsīr sessions, community programmes, discussions, commemorations, youth activities, and personal guidance, Sheikh Jaffer has become a vital source of learning and support for many individuals and families across our community.
To sustain this programme, we are seeking to raise funds towards the costs of a resident aalim residency and salary. These contributions directly support the delivery of regular religious education, community engagement, youth development, and accessible pastoral care.
Every donation, whether large or small, is an investment in the spiritual growth of our community and the future of the next generation. By supporting this appeal, you are helping ensure that high-quality scholarship remains accessible, consistent, and available to those who benefit from it most.
May Allah (swt) reward all those who support this initiative, accept it as a source of ongoing charity (ṣadaqah jāriyah), and allow us to continue building a stronger, more connected community through knowledge and service.
Please donate generously and share this fundraiser with your family, friends, and networks.
