FAQ

What is the Qaf initiative?

The Qāf Initiative seeks to produce a handwritten copy of the Mushaf, in the award-winning penmanship of master calligrapher Sidi Mothanna al-Obaidi. The project will take 3 to 3.5 years to complete given the craftsmanship to handwrite. For further details please see our website (www.qafinitiative.org).

Once the original Mushaf has been created it will be held in the art gallery at Mustafa Mount.

Afterward, every page of this Mushaf will be scanned, and a personalised version will be printed, sold, and distributed worldwide, Insha’Allah.

What are the 4 ways to sponsor? And what is the pricing structure?

You can pick from these choices;

1. Selected passages of the Quran
2. Sponsor a Basmallah for £786 (114 Available)
3. Sponsor a Surah (£114 per Ayah + £786 for Basmallah)
4. Sponsor an Ayah for £114 (this will be randomly allocated to you).

How will I know what is available?

Check our website.

There will be a follow up confirmation email sent to you which will confirm that you have sponsored a certain passage, surah, ayah or Basmallah.

How will the sponsorship money be paid?

There are three ways to pay:

1. You can pay via our website https://qafinitiative.org/
2. Contact us on info@qafinitiative.org to pay via bank transfer
3. Where applicable, use LaunchGood as a crowdfunding platform

I would like to crowdfund.

You can either pay directly from your money or you can fundraise using LaunchGood, sharing the baraqah with other people. If you would like to do this we will set up your LaunchGood page for you, do not set up your own page. A community page has already been set up and your page would be linked with this.

To do this contact us via: Email: info@qafinitiative.org Tel: 01274 911069.

I would like to sponsor a surah but there is no option on the website. How do I do this?

Please contact us via phone or email and we will arrange this for you.

What is gift aid eligible?

Gift aid is a government scheme that allows charities to claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated by a UK taxpayer. There is a form which you can fill in, this will help us to maximise your donation.

How will my donation be used?

Your money will go towards the realisation of the Mustafa Mount vision and development of Mustafa Mount. By sponsoring any part of the Quran, surah or ayah, wherever and whenever someone reads it you will be rewarded for it.

Does my contribution count as sadaqa? What are the benefits?

Yes, every contribution made will serve as ongoing charity (sadaqa jariya). There are multiple incredible benefits that come with donating to this worthy cause with the right intention - every time someone reads a single letter from a verse that you have sponsored, you can reap the rewards.

In addition, every time a lesson is delivered, a knowledge is found or a life is changed at Mustafa Mount, you will reap the rewards.

Also as the Calligrapher starts a surah which you have sponsored, your name will be mentioned as part of the intention.

How long will the Mushaf take to complete and how can I keep in touch with progress?

Given the craftsmanship involved it will take 3- 3.5 years to complete the Mushaf. During this time regular video updates of progress will be shared on the website (www.qafinitiative.org).
