The study and memorization of the Holy Qur’an is the most noble form of education a believer can pursue. At Sedekahsg, we are honored to support over 5,000 students dedicated to becoming Hafiz and deepening their connection with the Divine Word across Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand through our affiliated centers:
- Yayasan Tahfidz Sulaimaniyah (Indonesia)
- United Islamic Cultural Centre of the Philippines (UNICEP)
- Sulaimaniyah Hafiz Quran Centre (Thailand)
Many of these aspiring Hafiz are orphans or come from underprivileged backgrounds. Understanding their circumstances, we initiated the Hafiz Sponsorship Program to provide them with the means to pursue this sacred path.
How the Sponsorship Program Works
By contributing to the Hafiz Sponsorship Program, you help cover essential educational expenses for students, including their Qur’an memorization sessions, living costs, and other academic needs. The educational sponsorship is set at SGD 100 per month, and the complete tahfiz curriculum typically spans two years.
Options for sponsorship include:
- 1 month: SGD 100
- 6 months: SGD 600
- 1 year: SGD 1,200
- 2 years (full program): SGD 2,400
What You Will Receive as a Supporter
When you sponsor a student, you will be paired with a Hafiz-in-training. Upon request, we provide detailed information about your sponsored student, including periodic updates, videos showcasing their progress, and the opportunity to connect directly with them. Witnessing their journey brings immense satisfaction, knowing that each verse they memorize is an ongoing sadaqah jariyah for you.
The Importance of Supporting Hafiz Education
Supporting the memorization of the Qur’an is not only an act of compassion but also a means of fulfilling a divine responsibility. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“The best among you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.” – (Hadith, Sahih Bukhari)
By contributing to this cause, you ease the financial burden on students and their families and partake in the rewards each time they complete a khatam al-Qur’an (complete recitation).
