Be their Lifesaver: Support Imams across Africa
91% of Imams in Africa struggle to make ends meet. Your donation provides vital support.
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said:
“Whoever relieves a Muslim of a burden from the burdens of the world, Allah will relieve him of a burden from the burdens on the Day of Judgement. And whoever helps ease a difficulty in the world, Allah will grant him ease from a difficulty in the world and in the Hereafter.”
Jami` at-Tirmidhi
The reality of an Imam's life in Africa
Picture this: An Imam in rural Malawi has dedicated 7 years to Islamic studies. He leads prayers daily, teaches children, counsels families, and serves as the backbone of his community. People turn to him for spiritual guidance, financial help, and emotional support. When orphans need a home, he takes them in. When the hungry need food, he shares what little he has.
Yet this community leader earns just $30 a month.
Quick donate
This is not just one Imam's story—it's the reality for 91% of Imams across Africa.
With this meager income, he must support his family, aging parents, and respond to countless community needs. The gap between his responsibilities and resources is overwhelming. He cannot afford decent housing, proper healthcare, or education for his children. His dreams of furthering his own education, having reliable transportation, or performing Hajj remain distant hopes.
Solution: monthly assistance of $105
The Imam Development Program provides Imams from South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, Namibia, Botswana, and Mozambique with a comprehensive package. The most important part of the package is the lifesaving monthly assistance of $105 as a top-up to their salaries. This aims to provide vital support by bridging the gap in their income.
