Your sadaqa could keep bringing deen to prisoners for decades
Join us in building a Tayba waqf (endowment) that’ll generate consistent funding for our cause and make sure that we never stop serving the incarcerated Muslims in America.
Here’s how the Waqf at Tayba works:
We invest your gift
All waqf donations are invested into a diversified Sharia-compliant investment portfolioYour gift generates revenue
In the long-term, we expect your waqf donation to generate 5-7% a year on average.Your sadaqa continues
Your original gift remains invested for as long as the waqf exists and the profits continue to support Tayba’s mission, as well as your reward insha’Allah

Generous supporters have already contributed $180,000
Our goal is to eventually raise $350,000 that will cover all Tayba’s printing, shipping, collect call, and other educational expenses.
Can you help us get there?
By donating to the Tayba Waqf, you’re helping us:
Deliver the services we promised, rain or shine
In the past, Tayba had to cancel some of its programs due to shortfalls in funding. A reliable income from a waqf helps ensure we never have to let our brothers and sisters down like that again, insha’Allah\Navigate uncertain times
We’ve seen how crises like the COVID-19 pandemic can make nonprofits like ours vulnerable. A waqf helps protect us from the downturns and stay focused on the mission.Focus on services, not marketing
The more of our funding comes from the waqf, the less we’ll need to invest into marketing and fundraising to sustain our services.
Our Waqf Strategy
Predictable income
Tayba’s waqf strategy is designed to provide a consistent, reliable, and predictable annual income for our operationsConservative management
Our waqf’s policies prioritize preserving the principal amount of your gift so that it’s always generating funds to serve the incarcerated MuslimsFinancial independence
We dream of one day being able to be entirely financed by Tayba’s waqf, insha’Allah. On the way there, we’ll cover specific programs and expenses by the waqf revenue stream.
The waqf sadaqa jariya
As long as your gift keeps producing revenue through the waqf, you’ll keep receiving the reward of bringing deen to Muslims in prison
The knowledge sadaqa jariya
Any time a prison learns to pray, fast, or perform any other good deed because of Tayba material you supported, you’ll have some of the reward of those good deeds for as long as that person livesThe “viral” sadaqa jariya
Many of our students go on to teach what they learn from Tayba materials to their fellow prisoners, family members, and kids. Those then teach even more people. That means you’ll have the share of the reward of every person in that chain of knowledge if the original source was Tayba material you funded.
It’s a triple sadaqa jariya!
