Forthcoming Projects

مَّثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنۢبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِى كُلِّ سُنۢبُلَةٍۢ مِّا۟ئَةُ حَبَّةٍۢ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُضَـٰعِفُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌۭ

"The parable of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allāh is that of a grain that sprouts into seven ears, each bearing one hundred grains. And Allāh multiplies for whom He wills. And Allāh is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing."

— Qur'ān, Sūrat al-Baqara 2:261

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: a continuing charity (ṣadaqa jāriya), beneficial knowledge (ʿilm yuntafaʿu bihi), or a righteous child who supplicates for him."

— Reported in both Shīʿa and Sunnī corpora

Every Lantern book is more than ink and paper — it is a vessel for ʿilm yuntafaʿu bihi, beneficial knowledge that flows long after we are gone. When you support a forthcoming work, you become part of an unbroken chain of barakah: every reader who learns from these books, every student whose understanding deepens, every soul that draws closer to the tradition — the reward continues, in shā'a Allāh, to be written for you and your loved ones.
