Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Dear donors

My name is Mohamed Abdula R, I am studying in II Year B.E. Electronics and Communication Engineering at Mohamed Sathak A.J. College of Engineering, Chennai.

Alhamdulillah, I have always worked hard and scored well in my studies. My biggest dream is to complete my degree and become a responsible, educated Muslim someone who can support my family and serve my community in the future.

But today, my education is at risk.

My father, Rahuman Allabash, is a humble and hardworking auto-rickshaw driver. His daily earnings barely cover our family’s basic needs and the monthly installments of the auto loan. Still, he has always believed that education is the key to changing our lives.

To help me start college, my father went so far as to pledge his auto, which he had bought through finance, just to pay part of my first-year fees. This sacrifice taught me the true meaning of love and determination.

Now, I am in my second year, and my college fees for 2025–26 are ₹65,000. My father has managed to pay ₹9,604 in small amounts through his savings, but ₹55,396 is still pending. The college is constantly reminding us to pay the fees at the earliest, and we are under great pressure.

I turn to my brothers and sisters in the Muslim community, seeking your kind support through Zakat or Sadaqah to help me continue my education. I promise, InshaAllah, to study sincerely and make the best use of this opportunity so that one day I can support my family and help others in need, just as you are helping me today.

May Allah reward you abundantly for your generosity and make this a means of ease for you in both worlds.
