About
Our structure
One charity, two arms. The foundation is the parent; the Dawah Institute and the Honey Enterprise sit beneath it.
Parent charity
Assoutudeen Prophetic Medicine Foundation
The registered charity. It holds the donations, runs the empowerment fund, and owns both of the bodies below.
Subsidiary · education
Assoutudeen Dawah Institute
The teaching arm. Seven recurring classes — Tafsir, Hadith, Tawheed, Prophetic Medicine, the monthly Fiqh seminar, the monthly empowerment lecture, and Fataawah night. It does not hold donations of its own.
Subsidiary · commercial
Assoutudeen Honey Enterprise
The trading arm, selling honey by the litre, retail and wholesale. It is a business, not a charity, and its accounts are kept separate from the foundation's.
Assoutudeen Prophetic Medicine Foundation
The parent body and the registered charity. It receives donations, runs the monthly empowerment fund, publishes the annual accounts, and holds responsibility for everything done in the Assoutudeen name. Registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission as Incorporated Trustees under [TODO: CAC registration number].
Assoutudeen Dawah Institute
The education arm. It teaches seven recurring classes — the weekly Tafsir session, the fortnightly Hadith, Tawheed and Prophetic Medicine classes, the monthly Fiqh seminar taught by Shaykh Yaaqub Muhibullah Abd'hammed Olore, the monthly empowerment lecture, and a quarterly Fataawah night. The Institute is not separately incorporated and does not hold funds of its own; it operates under the foundation.
Assoutudeen Honey Enterprise
The commercial arm, selling pure honey by the litre to retail and wholesale customers. It is a business rather than a charity, and its books are kept separate from the foundation's — a charity's money and a company's money should never be difficult to tell apart.
Whether AHE is separately registered, and whether its profits fund the foundation's charitable work, are questions this page will answer plainly once confirmed: [TODO: is AHE separately registered with the CAC?] [TODO: do AHE profits fund APMF, and in what proportion — state it or state that they do not]
We would rather say nothing here than imply a flow of money that does not exist. Ambiguity about where charity money goes invites exactly the suspicion that transparency is meant to prevent.
