Heavenly Returns starts from a radical premise: it argues that we need more religion in finance and more finance and religion.

Yaqub Mirza and Gary Moore show that the Abrahamic faiths are replete with wisdom about how followers should manage wealth.

Afghan Refugee Assistance Fund
Help Support Now!
We are announcing that FAITH is working with Sterling Charitable Gift Fund (SCGF) and the Center For Islam In The Contemporary World (CICW) to establish an “Afghan Refugee Education Assistance Fund” to help/subsidize the cost for these students. We are working on an agreement with Shenandoah University and George Mason University to reduce tuition fees to make it affordable for the students to fulfill a lifelong dream of education and support their families.
Please help support this vital program of education that will be a positive start to building structure for their families.
Your donations will help these student refugees who apply and get accepted by either Shenandoah University or George Mason University. These institutions will require specific documentation and the costs will be partly subsidized for their education.
