Sponsor a Seeker of Knowledge
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“There are only three good types of people in the Dunya: the student of knowledge, the teacher of knowledge, or the one who supports them” (Sahih)
The Boston Islamic Seminary invites you to be a part of a sponsorship campaign to support the Seekers of Knowledge who wish to register for our programs but require financial support during this time.
