3 Ways Your Nonprofit Can Flourish This Ramadan Without Spending a Dime

3 Ways Your Nonprofit Can Flourish This Ramadan Without Spending a Dime

Whether you’re a business aiming to increase sales or a charity looking to boost fundraising, Ramadan presents a unique opportunity to make a significant impact. Here are three ways your nonprofit can flourish this Ramadan without costing you a dime:

1. Hiring Grants
Hiring grants can be incredibly beneficial for nonprofits. These grants can cover the wages of interns, allowing your organization to bring in fresh talent and new ideas without straining your budget. Siraj can assist you in securing grants that pay 100% of the interns’ wages, ensuring that you can expand your team and increase your capacity to serve your community effectively.

2. Increase Funding
Securing adequate funding is critical for any organization. Siraj has a proven track record of helping organizations double their fundraising efforts. Previous clients, including Islamic Relief, Ottawa Muslim Association, and Abraar School, have all benefited from Siraj’s expertise. By leveraging Siraj’s fundraising services, your organization or charity can achieve similar success and ensure that you have the resources needed to support your mission.

3. Boost Productivity
Employment benefits are essential for maintaining a productive and motivated workforce. Siraj has partnered with top employment benefit providers in Canada to create the first Sharia-compliant employee benefits packages. These packages include health, dental, vision, critical illness, travel insurance, legal support, and pension plans, all in accordance with Halal principles. By offering these comprehensive benefits, you can attract and retain top talent, ensuring that your organization operates at its highest potential.

As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Hasten to do good deeds before you are overtaken by calamities” (Sahih Muslim). There are a few limited grants currently open, but they will close very soon. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to enhance your nonprofit’s impact this Ramadan. Contact us today to learn more about how Siraj can support your organization.

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS!

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS!

Cool your hands first because the Hottest BLACK FRIDAY deal is here ❤‍🔥

Before we share this deal, allow us to present to you what we’re trying to do.

Earlier in November, Siraj Institute passed final step of ministry’s inspection for opening an international highschool here in Ottawa.

 Another Islamic School? Don’t we have enough?

This will be the first highschool in North America offering specialized career-focused program and quality Islamic education.

A School this Ummah Deserves

Through our school, students with exceptional potential from Ottawa — and the whole world — can study the Ontario Secondary School Diploma with the Specialized High Skills Major program. SHSM is an elite academic program started by the Ministry of Education that significantly boosts students with already-high potential. By helping them explore the careers that fit them as early as grade 9, and start learning postsecondary level courses (as dual credit) as early as grade 11!

The program is available towards 19 different careers. You can read more about SHSM here.

Natural Talent meets Careful Nurturing

Think of one successful Imam today, or a Muslim professional in any field. Pause and think how even better they could have become if they a had a chance like this. If an expert mentor helped them start their path when they were teens instead of their 20s, 30s, or even 40s.

Finally, our brightest youth can get an education that is worthy of their potential.

 

Tuition and Scholarships

Tuition for the next three academic years 24–/25–/26– will begin at $18,000 CAD per year for domestic students and $22,000 USD for international students, with:

  • 10% of students on FULL SCHOLARSHIPS,
  • 50% of students on partial financial aid.
  • Includes the Siraj Youth Enrichment Program with 20+ clubs

Additional features are available and include:

  • Boarding option (dorms)
  • Summer and year round co-op program
  • International Exchange Program

 

Exceeding Expectations is our Marker

Led by a team of experts in education, business, and management, our highschool will be a haven for excellence, and anyone who strives for it. Our mission is to raise the bar of education that has been dwindling for years.

Five ways to (Better) Prepare for Ramadan

Five ways to (Better) Prepare for Ramadan

The double digit countdown to Ramadan begins today. It is the perfect time to start preparing spiritually, mentally, and physically. Here are five meaningful ways to make this Ramadan better than ever before:

 

1. Start fasting

No one wants to start Ramadan with headaches or interrupted routines. Begin fasting at least Mondays and Thursdays every week.

Also, if you have any days to make up, start right away. The days are already short and easy, do not procrastinate!

2. Pre-commit

Remember the times of weakness you had last Ramadan? Allah heard you when you said to yourself “next Ramadan I shall do better, in sha Allah.” Now it’s time you act on those words and mentally commit early on to prepare better than you did before.

3. Learn and Grow

Whether it’s the wish to understand the Quran deeper, or just get a grasp of what those beautiful verses mean when you’re in taraweeh, we all need better knowledge in order to do better worship.

Although our registration deadline ended on October 30th, we have decided to reopen it to new students seeking the benefit (previous classes were recorded, don’t worry). Consider joining one of our ongoing classes to deepen your understanding and connection with your faith. We offer a variety of courses by some of the highest calibre instructors in the city:

– Arabic as a Second Language (Levels 1, 2, and 3)

– Analytical Tafseer

– Introduction to Fiqh

– Aqeedah I

– Meccan Seerah

Did you know? At Siraj Institute, you can study in person or online with us. All our classes are bimodal. Financial aid is available, with priority to in person students.

 

4. Supercharge your faith

Embark on spiritual journey of Umrah before or during Ramadan. Going to Mecca will help you calibrate your compass, charge you with Iman, and prepare you to return home with better worship and daily habits.

 

The Messenger of God said: “Performing Umrah in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj with me.”

If you can afford going to Umrah in Ramadan, we highly recommend you do.

For those looking for a Umrah that’s sightly easier on your budget, we prepared an ultra affordable Umrah trip, with the help of a generous travel advisor, with the lowest prices possible in the next 6 months. From January 18 until the 28th. This is a unique opportunity to cleanse your soul and prepare your heart for the holy month. For only $250, you can reserve a spot in this unforgettable journey.

5. Give with Intention

Allah says: “Present something good ahead of yourselves (2:223).” Start your Ramadan preparations by giving a donation with the intention of becoming a better Muslim, closer to God, and you’ll certainly see a better Ramadan this year. Your generosity can make a significant impact to your own life.

We encourage to give where you believe is most needed. Starting with your own family, close poor relatives, neighbors, local mosque, school, and charity.

At Siraj Institute, we made a commitment since we were established that no student with good potential would be turned away because of financial burdens. In the past year alone we have distributed almost $250,000 in Zakat money to supporting students and scholars around the world.

We prepared easy ways for you if you’d like to consider giving to Siraj Institute some of your Zakat or donations.

 

Lastly, whatever you can do, do it with sincerity.

May God Almighty accept from you all and grant you a blessed and fulfilling Ramadan.
