The Chosen One
What He ﷺ Taught, We Carry Forward.

“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.” [Qur’an 21:107]

More than 1,400 years later, the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (saw) continue to shape how we care for one another. This Rabi ul Awwal, we remember The Chosen One (PBUH) not only through words, but through the values he left for us to carry forward.

Prophet Muhammad (saw) was an orphan, and encouraged us to care for orphans, reminding us that those that do, will be raised in Jannah alongside him. Sponsor an orphan today and give them everything they need to thrive in a safe and secure home.

The Prophet Muhammad (saw) showed us the importance of the mosque as a place of worship, learning and community. He taught us to feed those facing hunger, to share what we have and never overlook those in need.

And he (saw) taught us the value of human dignity and freedom, encouraging the freeing of those in bondage and reminding us that mercy must reach those who are oppressed.

These teachings have travelled through more than 1,400 years and today, they are ours to carry forward.

This Rabi ul Awwal, honour his legacy through Orphan Sponsorship, Hafiz Sponsorship, Build a Mosque, Feed a Family, or help Free a Family from Slavery.

What He ﷺ Taught, We Carry Forward.
