Why is funding required?
To dedicate at least 40 hours and target 50 hours per week. To utilize my unique leverage (All thanks to and praises for ALLAH for this and everything) to attempt the many important ideas and projects. MashaALLAH! I am 43 years and a few months old in April 2025. Only ALLAH Knows how many years, or months, or weeks, or days, or hours or minutes or seconds of my life remain. I could not find or come accross any person or celebrity scholar willing to do even 1 of these projects. If I spend all my remaining days on these projects @ 40 to 50 hours per week and ALLAH gives me a long enough life, I may be able to complete all these projects by The Help of ALLAH. Taking inspiration for attempting daring or complex or seemingly impossible projects for 1 person from the following Aayataan regarding Dhul Qarnayn from The Quran 18:84-85 hoping that ALLAH may Guide and Grant His Help for achieving projects to ordinary people like me also, having intention and also exerting honest efforts, seeking the truth and also seeking the research, spread and establishment of Islam (while not being bothered or demotivated by the current ground realities and my current means and reach).
إِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهُۥ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَءَاتَیۡنَـٰهُ مِن كُلِّ شَیۡءࣲ سَبَبࣰا ٨٤
فَأَتۡبَعَ سَبَبًا ٨٥
Why fund my time is chosen and not fund me?
I only use fund (a percentage of) my time spent on the Islamic project or post or tool method and never use fund me method regardless of my circumstances, responsibilities or needs. What is the difference?
As summarized by Google AI studio:
"Fund someone's time" is more specific and directly tied to compensation for the work or effort they are putting in during a defined period.
"Fund someone" is more general. It can encompass funding their time, but it can also extend to supporting their overall well-being, education, potential, or a venture they are leading, often with a broader purpose than just paying for hours worked.
When does the funding become payable?
Only after completion or release of the iterative version of the post or project. Payment is not taken in advance, since there is no guarantee of life, and risk is to be taken by the worker and not the sponsor. Only intention has to be shown from sponsor regarding his interest to sponsor, to initiate work on a post or project.
How is the funding utilized: It is utilized by Asim Iqbal 2nd at $10/hour for the time spent on research or post preparation (but usually some percentage of hours, 20% to 50% or even more hours are also spent voluntarily, e.g. if 10 hours are sponsored, I may even spend 20 hours or even more depending on the importance of the project). As a cautious person, even more details are shared for the sponsorship utilization, including the exact post or project or sub-area the time was spent on and this is not only shared with the sponsor but is shared publicly for all to see.
How did I accomplish so many projects, without any funding and why funding is required now?
I kept my worldly career in maintenance mode or sustenance mode, instead of building it seriously, which would not have allowed me to do the Islamic projects I have accomplished only by the Help of ALLAH!, no credit is mine at all. (As an example, I was more focused in 2013 3rd Quarter on indexing Lisan ul Arab for Arabic Almanac as the 1st priority, as delaying this may have changed Arabic Almanac owner's decision regarding including it, at a time when my worldly job was at serious risk). In the recent few years, responsibilities have increased, the cost of taking such risks has increased much, a special test has come in the form of a little son with cerebral palsy (requiring heavy finances if the proper treatment (occupational or physical therapy, speech therapy, behaviour therapy, special shoes) for him is to be implemented, and due extra time and care from me and the other family members. My wife asked a couple of times to set up a funding page for collecting support for our son's treatment but I refused, as I want to earn this money via hourly services or jobs, and not as mere funding), my country's financial conditions have worsened, changing career at this moment requires starting from scratch as the previous experience in my current career counts as zero, and in 20+ years I have spent time on these Islamic projects, building my skills in this area. No one is obliged to fund my time nor am I demanding this funding. The simple and obvious fact is that without getting funding for my time, inshaALLAH! I won't spend much time on the projects and ideas anymore. I was eager for my ideas, being a visionary, but I am also a realist, realizing that current ground realities and status quo don't allow me to implement my ideas. May ALLAH Accept my humble efforts and projects and Keep these sites and projects online for a long long time, and also Give knowledge and skills from these sites and projects to as many current Muslims and future Muslims as possible! Aamin! If any sites and projects do go down naturally, pardon me and don't start Emailing me to prepare them once again without any kind of funding, because now times and situation have changed and repeating what I did once again, and that too without any funding, is no longer possible. I hope you understand. If anyone does fund, he should ensure that the funding is on merit of the post or project they want to fund and is not influenced by my situation and responsibilities.
