The Gems Project was created to make Islam accessible to everyone, ranging from all Muslims to those simply eager to learn more about the religion. Our goal is to extract brief lessons from the Quran and the Prophet (ﷺ) and his Family (as) and present them to the community from MCC's vast video library.

The Gems Series is a youth-initiated effort at the MCC aimed at providing viewers with bite-sized nuggets of wisdom and memorable anecdotes from the hundreds of hours of talks, sermons, panels, and lectures at the MCC to help viewers cultivate a more profound love, understanding, and connection with their Creator and their faith.
