Sadaqah jariyah

Support the work

Birhan Academy is free to use and stays free. If you would like to share in the ongoing benefit of this work, you can give as sadaqah jariyah — ongoing charity — with no expectation and no pressure.

Why give

Help keep the light free

Your gift supports the quiet costs of doing this properly: translation review, scholarly checking, hosting, accessibility work, and the time it takes to write and verify a single lesson.

We do not run advertising, and we do not lock resources behind payments. Giving is what keeps that possible.

Not zakat. This page is for voluntary sadaqah only. Birhan Academy does not collect zakat through the site, because zakat has specific conditions and categories that require a properly constituted arrangement.

Give

Sadaqah jariyah

Give once, or set up a small monthly gift. Any amount is meaningful.

How gifts are used

Where your support goes

Translation and review

Qualified translators and independent proofreaders for Tigrinya and Amharic, paid properly for careful work.

Scholarly checking

Every lesson and course is reviewed before publication. Review is work, and it is worth paying for.

Keeping the site open

Hosting, audio bandwidth, accessibility, and maintenance — with no advertising anywhere near the Qur'an.

We publish an annual summary of income and spending. If you would like details before giving, ask us — we would rather answer a question than receive a hesitant gift.

The most beloved deeds to Allah are those done consistently, even if they are small.
