Founded in 2016, the Foundation for Islamic Scholarship and Teaching (FIST) is a private, non-profit corporation created to provide financial support and assistance to scholars and students of classical Islam.
They are raising funds to sponsor Umrah trips for the unrecognized heroes in our community and to feed the needy in Madinah.

Heroes for Umrah/Hajj
In our Heroes for Umrah/Hajj program, we take the unsung heroes and unrecognized, long-standing volunteers of our local communities who lack financial means to the blessed cities of Mecca and Medina accompanied by notable scholars who teach them before and during their travels. Upon return, these heroes present educational reflections for the wider community.
“Those who spend their wealth in the Cause of Allah and do not follow up their gifts with reminders of their generosity or with injury, their reward is with their Lord. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve” – Surah al-Baqara, 2:262
