Organization: FOUNDATION FOR ISLAMIC SCHOLARSHIP
Mission: TRADITIONALLY, THE INHERITORS OF THE TRADITION OF ISLAM THE SCHOLARS AND THE SEEKERS OF KNOWLEDGE WERE SUPPORTED BY THEIR COMMUNITY SO THAT THEY COULD BETTER SERVE THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. TODAY, HOWEVER, SUCH INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT HAS VANISHED, LEAVING STUDENTS UNWILLING TO PURSUE KNOWLEDGE AND SCHOLARS HANDICAPPED IN THEIR ATTEMPTS TO BOTH TEACH STUDENTS AND MAKE ENDS MEET FOR THEIR OWN FAMILIES. OUR MISSION IS TO FREE SCHOLARS FROM THESE FINANCIAL SHACKLES, ALLOWING THEM TO BE PILLARS OF SUPPORT FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES AND LAMPS OF GUIDANCE FOR THOSE SEEKING KNOWLEDGE. IN THE FACE OF GREATER CHALLENGES FROM CONTEMPORARY DISCOURSE AND IDEOLOGIES, THESE SCHOLARS AND THEIR STUDENTS CAN SERVE AS A BARRIER, PROTECTING MUSLIMS AND ADVANCING THEIR INTERESTS.
Activities: THE FOUNDATION FOR ISLAMIC SCHOLARSHIP AND TEACHING IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION PROVIDING FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE TO SCHOLARS AND STUDENTS OF CLASSICAL ISLAM. AS A PART OF THE MISSION, WE LOCATE RARE OR UNAVAILABLE ARABIC BOOKS OF RELEVANCE TO TEACHING CLASSICAL ISLAM IN AMERICA FROM AROUND THE WORLD. WE THEN FIND A PUBLISHER TO PRINT THESE BOOKS, SHIP THEM TO THE USA, AND DISTRIBUTE THEM AS GRANTS TO USA-BASED SCHOLARS, STUDENTS, AND THE INTERESTED PUBLIC.
