Overview

Mission

Our humble goal is to preach the authentic hadeeths of Rasulah (swas) and the infallible Ahlul Bayt and share their light and wisdom with the world in an effort to bring people together in these testing times of division and discrimination, introducing them to the true religion of Islam.

What it reported doing in 2024

Honor of those in the community supporting the organization's mission.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
