What a gift pays for

The running costs,
and nothing else

We pick free and open services wherever we can, for the map, the weather and more. Prayer times are worked out on your phone, so they cost nothing to serve.

What's left is the plain cost of keeping an app online and in the stores. Some of it grows as more people use First Saff, which is a good problem to have.

  • Free and open services first
  • No ads, so no ad money either
  • Every feature stays free

Our transparency promise

Every gift goes into running First Saff. When online giving opens, we'll publish what came in and what it paid for, at least once a year, here on this page. Ask us any time and we'll tell you.

How to give

Three ways,
one of them without money

There's no card form on this page on purpose: we haven't set up a safe way to take payments online yet, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Write to us to give

Email us and we'll reply personally with the simplest way to give for now. Questions first are welcome too.

Online giving, coming soon

We're setting up a proper, safe way to give online. When it's ready it will appear here, insha'Allah, with the account of what gifts paid for.

Not ready yet

Give without money

Add a masjid, confirm a time where you pray, or tell your masjid committee. It's worth as much as any gift.

Ways to help
صَدَقَة جَارِيَةsadaqah jariyah

Help that keeps on helping

Many people like to give to things that keep doing good after they've given: a well, a masjid, knowledge that benefits. Each time First Saff helps someone reach the jamaah, find a janazah service or a food bank, a little of that is your gift at work.

We don't give religious rulings. Whether a gift counts as sadaqah jariyah, or whether zakat can be given here, is a question for a scholar you trust.
