The Challenges

The Challenges

96% of Muslims ages 18-29 say that Islam is important to them. Yet only 30% have any affiliation with a community center or organization - Source: ISPU 2022.

Most institutions today do not provide relevant space, programming, or amenities that cater to the lives and needs of real Muslims. This causes a lack of belonging.

Today's institutions are not preparing the next generation of leaders, thinkers, activists, business entrepreneurs, artists, and politicians. Our institutions tend to be hard to access and are not open platforms for driving change.

The Solution

The Solution

Our goal is to help provide a place where American Muslims may develop confidence and a sense of belonging by crafting new opportunities to connect and engage with our communities.

Bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, teachers, lawyers, artists, and everyone in a collaborative hub that is run by the community for the community.

Creating a space for programming and activities that are relevant to modern life—a space to exercise, work, learn, socialize, attend events with friends, and belong to a community. An institution that caters to the actual wants and needs of modern life, in an aesthetically and morally pleasing way.
