Join us on May 9, 2026, for the TISA Benefit Luncheon—an opportunity to invest in faith-rooted scholarship, cultivate principled leaders, and advance meaningful community education. This special gathering brings together scholars, community leaders, supporters, and friends of The Islamic Seminary of America (TISA) to celebrate our mission and invest in the future of Islamic learning and service.
Proceeds from this benefit luncheon will directly support TISA’s academic programs, student development, and initiatives that promote ethical leadership, rigorous scholarship, and service to society. Your presence and generosity help sustain an institution committed to cultivating thoughtful, grounded, and socially engaged Muslim leadership.
We look forward to your presence, along with that of our esteemed Dean of Academic Affairs, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi, Dr. Tamara Gray, Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans, Br. Azhar Azeez and many of our renowned faculty and instructors, TISA alumni, leadership and the Board of Trustees.
