Educators are innovators.

Our association was founded with a clear purpose: to provide young African children in the United States with access to authentic Islamic education—right here at home. For too long, many families have felt the need to send their children overseas to learn the foundations of Islam and the Arabic language. We believe that strong faith, proper knowledge, and a connection to cultural identity can and should be nurtured within their own communities.

Through structured programs, qualified instructors, and a culturally sensitive approach, we aim to teach Islam in a way that is rooted in traditional values while responsive to the realities of growing up in the U.S. Our mission is to instill love for Allah, understanding of the deen, and pride in their heritage—building a generation that is spiritually grounded, confident, and connected to their identity.
