WE’RE UNDER ATTACK
Atheism, liberalism, postmodernism, neo-marxism, nihilism, humanism, secularism and the explosion of other false ideologies are trying to engulf the hearts and minds of humanity; Muslims are under attack too. So many are feeling lost, disempowered, confused and doubtful about what’s true and what’s not.
HUMANITY IS IN NEED OF GUIDANCE
THIS FIGHT REQUIRES A STRATEGY
One intellectual warrior (da’ee, pl. du’āt) with the proper da’wah training can help put a stop to this. They will be empowered to share and defend Islām intellectually, destroy doubts, and overcome the enemies to bring us victory. But is having only a few du’āt enough? Imagine what we could achieve if we had an army of well-trained du’āt.
BE STRATEGIC WITH YOUR SUPPORT
You can support one da’ee that can get 50 shahādahs in a year, or you can support an organisation that develops thousands of du’āt which may increase the number to hundreds of thousands of shahādas. In fact, if you support an organisation that develops future leaders of da’wah organisations across the world, the numbers end up being astronomical.
وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌۭ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ ۚ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ
“Let there be a group among you who call (others) to goodness, encourage what is good, and forbid what is evil—it is they who will be successful.”
[The Qur’ān: 3:104]
Our work at Sapience Institute develops these thousands of du’āt and empowers the leaders of future organisations. Do not miss out on the immense reward.
THE VICTORY OF ISLĀM IS INEVITABLE
That’s a promise from Allāh ﷻ
وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا ۖ نَصْرٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌۭ قَرِيبٌۭ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
“(He will also give you) another favour that you long for: help from Allāh ﷻ and an imminent victory. (So) give good news (O Prophet) to the believers.”
[The Qur’ān: 61:13]
Will you step up, reap the immense rewards and lead Islām to victory?
If you’re at the edge of your seat, wondering how you can help build a greater army that makes Allāh’s ﷻ words the highest whilst getting a share in their immense reward, we invite you to…

Alhamdulillah, we have trained over 30,000 since our inception. The reward you will gain from what the next 30,000+ achieve is immense.
Every time they give da’wah, share Islām, defend Islām, train others, develop teams, create organisations, gain shahadahs, you get a share in the reward.
The Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who did it.”
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1893

By choosing to support us, you not only gain rewards for one organisation or a few hundred du’āt, but you gain perpetual rewards for the multiple organisations we help develop and thousands of du’āt we train and the work they go on to do.
