May these last days of Ramadan bring peace and blessings upon you. As we observe the moon diminish in size each night, we recognize that, like all things, this blessed month is coming to a close. We also hope that this is not our last Ramadan. Birth, rising, flourishing, waning, and rebirth are the worldly cycles that Allah has ordained for us.

Yes. Zaytuna College accepts zakat donations. The College does not apply zakat donations towards general operating or program-related expenses. All donations indicated as zakat will be used as direct financial aid (tuition) for full-time students and discounts for other students in need. For instance, if a student is unable to afford learning materials or class tuition, zakat donations can be used to pay for those educational expenses. Zaytuna College does not distribute zakat to individuals or families in need of general financial support because it is beyond the scope of our mission. Please note that zakat donations are subject to strict rules and regulations and cannot be designated for a particular person or program by the donor.
Please fill out this form and fax or mail it to process your Zakat donation. (Please see additional instructions on the form).
