This Ramadan, we invite you to reflect on a transformative opportunity—one that allows you to leave a lasting legacy. Imagine empowering leaders who not only understand their communities, but also are deeply rooted within them—leaders who serve with wisdom, integrity, and a profound connection to Allah (swt). The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“The most beloved of people to Allah are those who bring the most benefit to others.”
(Sunan Ibn Majah)
At The Islamic Seminary of America (TISA), we are nurturing leaders whose service becomes your sadaqah jariyah—a continuous charity that brings ongoing rewards. Our goal is clear: to equip emerging and established leaders with academic excellence and real-world skills, preparing them to be pillars of guidance in the communities they cherish.
Leadership begins within the heart of the community. By investing in students from diverse backgrounds, we ensure they are equipped to address the real challenges facing their communities today.
Consider Layth Fethi, who leads religious services in multiple prisons, offering hope and spiritual guidance to those seeking redemption. Or Amal Fayad, a mental health counselor and college professor, uplifting individuals in crisis with both compassion and expertise. Their work is a testament to the transformative power of this model.
TISA is more than just academics. We cultivate leaders who are deeply attuned to the spiritual and social needs of our Ummah. Our graduates are at the forefront of:
