Contribute In?
Here at the Initiative of Youth Development, we strongly believe that change cannot happen without wholehearted effort, and that education cannot make an impact through charity.
Therefore, the Initiative of Youth Development is a self-financed organization that does not accept any form of financial support from third parties, including Sadaqah, Zakat, or any other monetary contributions intended for purposes that do not align with the sacred teachings of the Quran.
OUR CORE PHILOSOPHY
The vision of our founder is to establish a sustainable youth organization made up of individuals who are fully committed to devoting themselves to the Deen of Allah, without accepting support from any source whose intentions may compromise or distract from this mission. In alignment with the teachings of the Quran—particularly Surah As-Saff, Ayah 11, which calls believers to strive in the cause of Allah with both their wealth and their lives—the Initiative of Youth Development upholds that true service to Allah comes only through personal sacrifice and sincere effort. Therefore, any form of financial assistance from charity wings or organizations with conditional or misaligned purposes is strictly prohibited under the name of this organization.
Education cannot flourish through Sadaqah or Zakat. To keep education pure and unbiased, it must be supported by sincere hearts—hearts driven by good intentions, for it is only such intentions that are accepted by Allah. What we seek is not just financial aid, but genuine commitment for the grooming, growth, and intellectual progression of our youth. At the Initiative of Youth Development, we are building mindsets, and for this sacred cause, we cannot accept any form of impurity—whether in intention or in means.
Guide to contribute
This is a simple model for those who wish to share goodness. Imagine two friends who both want to enjoy a pizza that costs 100 bucks. One has only 40, and the other has 60. Individually, neither can afford it—but together, by combining their contributions, they get to enjoy the meal.
In the same way, no one may feel fully worthy of Jannah on their own. But when we come together—sharing our efforts, intentions, and sincere actions—we support each other in striving for that eternal reward. Just like the two friends, our shared journey becomes possible through unity and collective contribution.
It takes sincere effort from every individual who claims to be a Muslim. As Allama Iqbal beautifully expressed…
