Zakat eligible: NO
Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Dear donors

My name is Shabirali Shaikh, and I am a 3rd-year student of Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine & Surgery (BAMS) at Rukhmini Ayurvedic Medical College. I am writing this appeal with humility and hope, seeking support from the kind Muslim community to continue my education.

For the academic year 2025–2026, my total college fee is ₹1,50,000 (excluding hostel fees). With great difficulty, my family managed to pay a part of this amount. However, ₹82,500 is still pending, and we are unable to arrange this balance.

My father works as a pharmacy worker, earning a very limited income. His salary is not enough to manage our household expenses, my college fees, my brother’s college fees, and the loan repayments that our family is already struggling with. Due to these financial pressures, we are going through a severe financial crisis.

Despite these hardships, I am determined to complete my medical education and serve people through Ayurveda, In Sha Allah. Unfortunately, I am not eligible for Zakat, so I humbly request support through general donations (Sadaqah).

I kindly appeal to the generous donors of IndiaZakat and the wider Muslim community to help me clear my pending fees and continue my studies. Your support will not only save my education but also help me become a healer who can serve society with compassion and knowledge.

May Allah accept your charity and reward you abundantly. Ameen.
