In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Alforgan Charitable Endowment
We enable Quran education and memorization for women and children in Balqarn, and support the upkeep of mosques — through a charitable endowment that funds itself.
A mixed-use building (hotel · Quran nursery · café · mosque) is nearing the end of finishing works. Once operating, its commercial income will fund our charitable activities permanently — with no future donations needed.
One gift, given once — and its reward never stops.

The founder of this endowment
This blessed edifice was founded by the grace of God, and then through the vision and generous hand of Sheikh Abdullah bin Saad bin Hanash Al-Qarni (may God have mercy on him), who embodied the highest meanings of giving and benevolence when he endowed this building.
He left behind an inexhaustible legacy for the community and a journey of goodness whose rewards extend to the Day of Judgment — a model to be followed in relieving hardship and loving good for society.
Balqarn Quran Memorization Society
Investment income supports the society's activities and the upkeep needs of Alforgan Mosque, east of the building.
One contribution · lasting legacy
Once operating, building income perpetually funds Quran memorization and mosque care — no further donations needed.

What is Alforgan Charitable Endowment?
Alforgan Charitable Endowment & Women's Quran Memorization House is a registered nonprofit organization (Registration ID 1112506318) in Afra, Balqarn Governorate, Asir Region, Saudi Arabia. It invests in a mixed-use building — a hotel, a Quran memorization nursery, a café, and a mosque — directing its income to the Balqarn Quran Memorization Society and Alforgan Mosque.
What is your mission and what activities do you run?
Our mission is to enable Quran education and memorization for women and children in Balqarn Governorate, and to support the upkeep and maintenance of mosques. We run four activities: operating a women's Quran memorization house; funding the Balqarn Quran Memorization Society; maintaining Alforgan Mosque; and operating income-generating endowment facilities (hotel, café, nursery) that self-fund these activities.
What does "one-time donation" mean here?
Once finishing works are complete and the building is operating, commercial income from the hotel and café will permanently fund Quran memorization and mosque upkeep on its own, with no future donations needed. Your contribution today is a single investment in an ongoing, self-renewing charity.
What phase is the project in right now?
The project is in Phase 2 of 4: the concrete structure is complete, and interior and exterior finishing works are underway. Remaining work is expected to take about one year, God willing.
