My praise and thanks are due first to Allah, the Mercy of the mercies, exalted in power and knowledge. I am forever indebted to my late mother who taught me about values in my early childhood. Her words of wisdom and prayers will forever be a source of encouragement for the rest of my life. May Allah bless her soul and that of my late father’s and make them stay in Paradise .
For the sake of ALLAH (SWT) the founder built the center and established this organization, may ALLAH (SWT) accept. There are many good causes that we strive to accomplish, such as:

• Quran Memorization for young and old.
• Help students to continue and to do will in their Education.
• Teach Arabic and Quran Memorization for Muslems, non Arabic speakers from around the world.
• Provide health care for very little or no cost for whoever in need.
• There are six floors at the center: 1st floor is a Masjed for men. 2nd floor is a Masjed for Women. 3ed floor is for medical clinic (not fully completed yet). 4th, 5th and 6th floors are for multipurpose Quran Memorization and educational programs.
