Our Vision "A Guiding Light...that Restores the Purpose of Life" Our Mission “We are dedicated to the advancement of the individual, family, and the community at large through faith, education, and service.” Our Values Tawheed (Monotheism) Succession Justice and Moderation Responsibility Shura (Consultation) All successful organizations have clear vision, mission statement, and well-defined goals and objectives. However, the core values that shape the vision are of utmost importance. The core values are the fundamental ethical, moral, and professional beliefs that guide our decisions and the foundation on which we build our internal and external relationships. They are also the measure by which we determine the “rightness” of our vision and direction. Tawheed (Monotheism) in Islam is the basic principal in our vision because it’s the natural and universal answer to the spiritual dimension of the human being in understanding himself in this life and the hereafter. It is also the ceiling of the human logic in understanding the dimensions of life and existence and what is beyond. Realizing tawheed gives the human humbleness so that he can take his life and his succession role in this life seriously to achieve what he was created for and rest assured about the hereafter.

Justice and Moderation: Justice, in all aspects of human behavior, is the foundation of the proper human interaction, morally, physically, socially, politically, and economically. Without justice, and thus moderation, all dimensions of the human existence and its role become empty of its content. “Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.” Responsibility: The human being, with his sound instinct, cognitive abilities, and free will, is responsible for all his actions and decisions. “On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all together and inform them of what they did. Allah has kept account of it, while they have forgotten it. And Allah is Witness over all things.” Shura (Consultation): The role of Shura is foundational for both, the individual and the group; it is not subject to desires and interests of individuals in leadership position but to protect the rights of both the individual and the group. “And those who have responded to their Lord and established prayer and whose affair is (conducted by) consultation among themselves...”
