Al Nour Corporation offers interest-free loans (Qard Hasanah) to support graduate and professional students in fields such as medicine, law, engineering, business, and nursing— disciplines where traditional financial aid often falls short.
This program was created to help students whose religious beliefs prohibit interest-based loans (riba), providing a halal, ethical, and sustainable way to fund higher education. This cycle of giving, learning, and repaying allows Al Nour to continue supporting students for generations — a lasting form of sadaqah jāriyah.
Timeline
A timeline of how Al Nour builds a sustainable, faith-based model for generations to come.
-
We are currently in the building stage of our organization. Through community fundraising, sponsorships, and partnerships, we aim to establish a sustainable loan fund that can support our first group of students. Every contribution builds a foundation for future scholars, in shā Allāh.
-
Once the fund is established, Al Nour will open its doors to applicants seeking halal financial assistance for graduate and professional education. The process will be simple, transparent, and fully compliant with Islamic finance principles.
-
Our team will connect individually with each approved student to design a personalized repayment plan. This ensures every loan is manageable and that graduates can give back to the revolving fund with ease and integrity.
-
After review and planning, we will distribute interest-free (Qard Hasanah) loans to qualified students. These funds empower recipients to pursue their academic and professional goals while staying true to Islamic values and financial ethics.
Support Our Mission
Your generosity helps Muslim students pursue higher education without interest or compromise.
Through Al Nour’s Qard Hasanah (interest-free loan) program, every contribution becomes part of a continuous cycle of good — funding a student’s education today and being repaid to help the next generation tomorrow.
Together, we’re building a sustainable, community-driven model of educational support rooted in Islamic values of compassion, dignity, and accountability.
When you give, your impact reaches students across our community and beyond. While we aim to support students from regions where donations are raised, all contributions are pooled to ensure funds are used where they’re needed most — helping as many students as possible, in shā Allāh.
