“Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due.”
Surah An-Nisa, 4:58
Every trust given to this community is held with care, accounted for with honesty, and returned to its rightful purpose, in full, with transparency, before Allah.
Amanah (trust) is one of the most weighty words in the Islamic tradition. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ described it as one of the first things to leave the earth before the Day of Judgement. Allah commands us explicitly, in His Book, to return trusts to their rightful owners. Likewise the scholars of Islam have taught us that amanah is not limited to physical things, it encompasses every responsibility entrusted to us. Every confidence placed in us. Every act of stewardship we carry on behalf of another.
I do not take this word lightly. Not even a little.
When this community places its trust in me , its resources, its generosity that is an amanah and this page exists to honour it.
This is not a page I created for optics or to appear accountable. It is a page I created because I genuinely believe that every sister and brother who has ever contributed to a project through this community, with their money, their dua, their time, or their trust deserves to know exactly where it went, what it built, and what it is still building.
Not a summary. Not an approximation. A full, honest, transparent account as close to complete as I am humanly able to give.
If I make a mistake in the stewarding of an amanah, and I am human, so perhaps I will this page is where I will say so. Clearly, without deflection, and with a commitment to make it right.
Why transparency matters here
There is a lot of fundraising that happens in Muslim online spaces. Some of it is extraordinary run by people of deep integrity who account for every dirham and every dollar. Some of it is not.
I have seen sisters send their sadaqah into a digital void and never hear anything again. I have seen projects collect far more than they disclosed and never explain the surplus. I have seen good intentions unaccompanied by any accountability.
I refuse to be that.
Not because I fear criticism though I am accountable to you but because I fear something far more significant than that.
“And know that Allah knows what is in your souls, so beware of Him.” Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:235
Allah sees everything. Every naira and cent that passes through this stewardship. Every decision made about how to spend it. Every moment of hesitation, every act of care, every error.
This page is, in part, my acknowledgement of that. A public declaration that I am aware of the weight of what I carry and that I intend to carry it as well as I possibly can.
How this works
When this community comes together for a sadaqah project whether it is supporting a family in need, contributing to a cause, funding a community initiative, or any other act of collective giving here is how I operate:
Full disclosure before we begin: before any project is opened for contributions, I will share the full details what it is, why it matters, how funds will be used, and how much is needed or a milestone that needs to be met. No vague campaigns.
Real-time updates: As a project progresses, I will share updates on social media (via my dedicated channel ‘As Sabiqoon‘ for publishing updates) what has been collected, what has been done, and what remains.
A full accountability report: When a project is complete or at defined milestones for longer projects, a full transparency report will be published here on this page. This includes total amount collected, full breakdown of expenditure, outcome and evidence where possible, and any surplus and how it was handled.
Surplus policy: If more is collected than needed, the surplus will either be rolled forward to the next project with your knowledge, returned to contributors if feasible, or directed to a related cause, always disclosed, always your decision where possible.
Nothing kept: I do not take a fee, a percentage, or any form of compensation from sadaqah projects. What comes in for the community goes out for the community. Every naira. Every dirham. Every dollar. Every penny.

Al-Ansar Children’s Home: Transport, Food & Care Project
Project Code: ASF-I-26-P01-ANSARCARE
COMPLETED · February 2026
A community sadaqah project initiated under the As-Sabiqoon Fund to support the daily and operational needs of Al-Ansar Children’s Home, Kuje, Abuja, with a specific focus on mobility, food security, and essential care for the children under its responsibility. 34 blessed individuals answered the call across 21 days, collectively raising ₦5,650,005.00 entirely through voluntary contributions.
The funds were used to purchase and fully register a 2006 silver Honda vehicle in the name of Al-Ansar Children’s Home, ensuring it remains an institutional asset. Remaining funds were channelled toward food supplies, essential medicines, and hygiene and care products for the children. Every naira was documented, every decision recorded, and a full acknowledgement of receipt was signed by the home.

What every accountability report includes
Every transparency report published on this page will contain the following, in full:
Project overview: What the project was, why it was initiated, and who it served.
Total amount collected: The exact amount raised from the community, in the original currency.
Full expenditure breakdown: Every item purchased or funded, with amounts. No lump sums without explanation.
Evidence: Where possible and appropriate, photographs, receipts, or confirmation of delivery. Always shared with respect for the dignity of those served.
Surplus or shortfall: If more or less was raised than needed, exactly what happened to the difference.
Outcome: The real-world result of the project. What was built, helped, funded, or delivered.
Lessons learned: If something could have been done better I will say so. Honestly and without defensiveness.
A small note before you read: these reports are not polished PR documents. This blog, and everything published on it, is a one-woman effort, written, designed, and compiled entirely by me, between motherhood and everything else life demands. Whatever errors you find are mine alone, and I humbly ask for your understanding and your grace.
How to participate in community projects
When a project is announced, details will be shared in full on Instagram @thebarakahwoman and on my updates channel As-Sabiqoon .
Participation is always voluntary. There is no pressure, no public display of who gave what, and no minimum amount. The Prophet ﷺ said that even half a date given in charity can protect from the fire, so no contribution is too small, and no one who cannot give should ever feel excluded from making dua for the project instead.
Dua is sadaqah and an act of worship too. Sometimes the sincere dua of the one who cannot give is worth more before Allah than the contribution of the one who can.
I want to say this plainly, without performance, and without qualifiers:
I will never use community trust for personal gain. Not directly, not indirectly, not in any form.
I will never inflate a need, underreport an outcome, or obscure a surplus.
I will never open a project I am not prepared to execute with full accountability.
And if I ever fall short of any of this, through error, through human limitation, through any failure of my own, I will say so here. On this page. In full because this is not about my reputation. It is not about how I am perceived or whether the community continues to trust me. Those things matter to me, yes but they are not why I do this.
I do this because one day I will stand before Allah and be asked about every trust that was placed in my hands and I want to be able to answer that question without flinching.
“[Watch for] the Day when every soul will be presented with whatever good it has done” Surah Ali Imran, 3:30
May Allah make us all from those who honoured the amanah placed in our hands. May He accept our efforts, forgive our shortcomings, and allow what we built together to continue benefiting long after we are gone.
My dear community
To every sister and brother who has ever given to a project through this space:
Jazakumullah Khayran. May Allah reward you with what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has imagined. May every naira, every dirham, every dollar, every prayer you gave on behalf of those you will never meet be written in your scale of good deeds and weigh heavily for you on the Day when it matters most.
You did not have to give. You chose to and that choice made quietly, often without anyone knowing, entirely for the sake of Allah is one of the most beautiful things a person can do.
I do not take it lightly. I carry it carefully and I will account for it honestly here, before you, and before Allah.
This community is not mine. It belongs to Allah. I am only its steward for as long as He allows, and with the best of what He gives me to offer.

No question is too small. No concern is unwelcome. This page exists because transparency matters and that means being accessible to the people who place their trust here.
May Allah put barakah in every project we undertake together. May He make it heavy on our scales. May He accept it from us all.
رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
“Our Lord, accept this from us. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.”
