| Mission / Objectives Allah guides to His light whom He wills (Quran 24:35) This verse is the inspiration behind our name, Guiding Light. Our mission is to illuminate a path to Allah (God) with the light of the holy Quran and the radiant Sunnah (prophetic tradition).Guiding Light aims to provide a space where individuals are able to strengthen their bond with Allah (God), understanding & implementing the word of Allah (God) and the traditions of the final Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah (God) be upon him).In addition, Guiding Light works to strengthen the social fabric of the western Muslim community by providing a religiously inspired gathering space for Muslims of all ages and backgrounds.Achievements2016, our fourth year in operation, was filled with progressive growth. 1) Hifdh Program: In September 2014, we began a full-time Hifdh (memorization of the Quran) program at Guiding Light. We currently have ten full-time students who attend Monday to Friday up from six in 2014.2) Maktab Program (Quran Classes): Our weekday evening Quran classes for children have been very successful. It has grown significantly in the last few months with 16 students enrolled in 2016. In 2015 we had 12 students.3) Tutoring Service: In 2015, we continue to provide an after-class tutoring service to help students with homeschooling.4) HAJJ Workshop: In 2016, we organized two hugely successful and popular Hajj workshops one in San Jose and one in Pleasanton each of which drew 100 or more participants in August as a preparation for pilgrims.5) UMRAH Workshop: In December 2016, we organized Umrah Workshop at our San Jose center.GoalsOur goals for the upcoming years are strongly agile and dependent on the needs of the community we serve. Our organization is driven by humble ambitions and a desire to remain largely organic and at a grassroots level. We plan on continuing Quran and Hifdh classes to those interested in learning the word of God.In addition we plan to introduce classes for adults and organize workshops centered on the dissemination of Knowledge. | $62,105 | - |
