There are over 3,000 mosques across the U.S.
Less than half of these mosques have a full-time Imam.[1]
This leaves well over 1500 masajid without qualified Islamic leadership.
There is a huge shortage of Imams.
There is an even bigger shortage of Imams who are rooted in the Islamic tradition.
Imams and leaders who are rooted in the Islamic tradition + trained in dealing with the modern context are like a needle in a haystack.
More than ever before, we NEED to invest in developing Islamic leaders for the many communities who are in desperate need of their leadership and services.
We need your urgent help in sponsoring AT LEAST 20 new leaders for Muslim communities across the US.
Otherwise...
Where will our community be in 10 years and beyond?
Where are we going?
How can we educate our next generation of young Muslims to carry on the faith?
