Come as you are, to Islam as it is.

Balanced

We teach an Islamic understanding that emphasizes inward development, not just outward practices; one that is simple & straight-forward; and which combines a sensitivity to our cultural & social reality with the ideals, methods & tools that Islam gives us.

Authentic

What we teach & offer is based on the authentic teachings of the Quran & Sunnah, first & foremost, and also encourages people to be absolutely authentic & true to themselves in a way that brings out your best.

Wholesome

We promote love, purity, well-being, uprightness & integrity to live to our fullest potential. The Islamic way of life must be built gradually & methodically.
