“You’re not paying for classrooms. You’re saving the ummah.”
Abdullah Mamun, President of The Islamic Seminary of America (TISA), puts it plainly: America has thousands of masajid, yet most of the imams who lead them were trained overseas. Too many communities are left without scholars who understand the lives, questions, and challenges of Muslims here.
That’s why AIC and TISA are building institutions at home, training scholars rooted in tradition who are ready to serve our masajid, our youth, and our families.
This work can’t wait for someday. Every gift funds a student, a teacher, and a future imam who will serve our communities and broader society for decades.
