Aziz/Azhar Family Legacy Fund
Investing in Education. Uplifting the Ummah.
“Read in the name of your Lord who created.”
— Surah Al-‘Alaq (96:1)
The Aziz/Azhar Family Legacy Fund, in partnership with A Continuous Charity (ACC), is dedicated to empowering Muslim students across the United States through Qard Hasan — interest-free, halal educational loans.
Rooted in the belief that education is a pillar of Islam, this fund was created by a family deeply committed to revitalizing a nation of “Iqra” — a nation of readers, thinkers, and leaders. In a time when the student debt crisis burdens millions, the Aziz/Azhar Family Legacy Fund aims to be part of the solution: nurturing Muslim excellence without the burden of riba.
“Whoever relieves a believer’s distress of the distressful aspects of this world, Allah will rescue him from a difficulty of the difficulties of the Hereafter.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Muslim)
Why Qard Hasan?
Riba (interest) is strictly prohibited in Islam, yet it has become a normalized part of pursuing higher education. Through this fund, we’re offering Muslim students a path that is both financially sound and spiritually pure.
“Allah destroys interest and gives increase for charities.”
— Surah Al-Baqarah (2:276)
When you give to the Aziz/Azhar Family Legacy Fund, your donation is a sadaqah jariyah — a continuous charity that multiplies in reward every time a student graduates, begins their career, and gives back to their family and society. You’re not just helping someone go to school. You’re breaking cycles of debt and building legacies of faith, knowledge, and impact.

“The best of people are those who bring the most benefit to others.”
