Qarz-e-Hasan bridge financing
Qualified supporters may contact leadership privately to discuss documented, interest-free loan arrangements. How it differs from a donation
Donations and Qarz-e-Hasan are not the same
To keep charitable gifts and repayable loans clearly separate, please review the difference below before contributing.
Charitable donation (sadaqah)
- A gift given for the sake of Allah, seeking His reward.
- Not returned to the donor.
- May qualify as Sadaqah Jariyah — ongoing charity.
- The primary way to support the campaign.
- Tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Qarz-e-Hasan (interest-free loan)
- A repayable loan, not a charitable donation.
- Temporary, interest-free bridge financing.
- Requires separately documented terms and agreed repayment.
- Subject to appropriate legal and financial review.
- Not a donation, so not tax-deductible.
Beyond our lifetime
مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا لِلَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِثْلَهُ
"Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him something like it in Paradise."
Sahih al-Bukhari 450; Sahih Muslim 533
"When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him."
Sahih Muslim 1631
مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ أَضْعَافًا كَثِيرَةً
"Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over?"
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:245
We cannot take our wealth with us when we leave this world. But by Allah's mercy, the good we establish with that wealth may continue benefiting others.
