Support our work

Help keep knowledge free.

Ocean of Islam exists to make authentic Islamic knowledge accessible to everyone — regardless of background or financial means. Your donation helps make that possible.

Where your donation goes

Every contribution has impact

We are a small, independent operation run entirely on course fees and voluntary donations. No grants, no advertising. Your support goes directly to the work.

Student Scholarships

Many sincere students cannot afford course fees. Donations allow us to offer fee assistance and full scholarships to those who demonstrate commitment but lack the means.

Free Online Content

Our blog, articles, and learning resources are available to everyone — no paywall, no account required. Your support keeps that content live, well-maintained, and growing.

Recorded Lessons & Lectures

Producing, editing, and hosting quality recordings takes time and resource. Donations help us continue making lectures accessible to Muslims who cannot attend live.

Community Services

We provide subsidised or pro bono translation, support, and guidance to community members who would otherwise go without access to qualified Islamic scholarship.

Our commitment to you

Simple, honest, and direct

Ocean of Islam is not a registered charity — we are an independent educational initiative founded by Shaykh Yaquob Ahmed in 2016. Donations are received in good faith and used solely to sustain and expand free Islamic education and community services.

There is no fundraising team, no overhead-heavy administration. Your donation reaches students and services directly. If you have any questions about how funds are used, please get in touch — we are happy to answer.

"…the most beloved of people to Allah are those most beneficial to people. The most beloved of deeds to Allah is bringing joy to a believer: relieving his distress, settling his debt, or driving away his hunger. And that I walk with my Muslim brother in his need is more beloved to me than observing i'tikāf for two months in a mosque…"

Narrated by 'Abdullāh ibn 'Umar al-Mu'jam al-Awsaṭ, al-Ṭabarānī (6026) · Grading: Ḥasan
