🚘 REBUILDING CARS. REBUILDING LIVES.

At EXxperts Chicago, frame-off classic car restoration is more than automotive work—it’s workforce development.

We provide young men from at-risk communities and returning citizens with hands-on training, mentorship, job skills, and a pathway to a career.

Just like a classic car can be rebuilt from the frame up, we believe people deserve the opportunity to rebuild, grow, and create a new future.

🔧 BUILD THE CAR. BUILD THE MAN. BUILD THE COMMUNITY.

Better communities don’t happen by accident. 🤝🏽

They’re built when people show up, have the difficult conversations, invest in the next generation, and take responsibility for what happens in their neighborhoods.

Strong communities start with strong people willing to work together.

Building better communities matters because when the community grows, we all grow. 🤍

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 🤲🏾

O Allah, we call upon You by Your Most Beautiful Names and Attributes. We ask You to open the gates of freedom for our brother Lil Durk, grant him ease through this difficult time, and reunite him with his family and loved ones.

Ya Allah, protect him, guide him, strengthen his faith, and grant him patience and peace. Make a way for him where there seems to be no way, and allow him to return home to those who love and need him.

May Allah accept our dua and grant our brother freedom and a beautiful reunion with his family. Ameen. 🤲🏾

KEEP PRAYING FOR LIL DURK.

🙏🏾 JOIN US IN PERSON TO MAKE DUA FOR DURK

This Tuesday morning, we’re asking everyone who can make it to come together peacefully in Los Angeles and make dua (prayer) for Durk.

📍 Felicitas and Gonzalo Mendez United States Courthouse
350 W. 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

This is about prayer, brotherhood, mercy, and support during an important time.

If you can’t be there in person, make dua wherever you are. 🤲🏾

May Allah protect Durk, strengthen him, guide him, grant him patience, and bring about the best possible outcome for him and his family. Ameen.

Different cities. Different people. One dua. 🤲🏾

Crack cocaine didn't just wreck lives — it rewired how violence moved through Chicago for decades, and we're still living with the aftershocks.

Muslimatic University and License to Operate keep having this conversation because understanding the root causes is how healing actually starts.
