What Our Supporters Say
“For anyone who yearns to nourish their intellect and revive their spirit; this is your opportunity. I have benefited immensely from belonging to 12000 Strong. The members-only book club with President Hamza Yusuf has expanded my heart and mind and awakened in me a love for critical thought anchored in spiritual depth.
The Prophet ﷺ said that the most beloved deeds to Allah are the most consistent ones, even if they are small. As members of 12000 Strong, consistent giving is our investment in a legacy of sacred knowledge, a sadaqa jariyah (ongoing charity) that will outlive us all.
May Allah make our monthly support a means of light in this world and the next. Ameen."

“A Zaytuna education addresses how to become a better citizen and human being. This distinguishes Zaytuna College from other North American colleges and universities: students learn that the blessings we are given come with a responsibility to give back. This essential aspect is entirely missing from higher education. Not once in any of the three universities I attended, including law school, did my professors address the responsibility of giving back to community.”
— Hussein Hamdani
“Supporting Zaytuna College becomes more important with each passing day. The work of connecting young Muslims to our rich history and living tradition, and teaching them to think critically and communicate persuasively, has never been more important.
As recipients of revelation and prophetic guidance, Muslims have a heavy responsibility in these challenging times. Humanity needs us to be good stewards of the guidance we have been given. We must become better leaders and followers and deliver to others what has been passed on to us . In every arena — as parents, neighbors, employees, and citizens — it is upon us to model a better way.”
— Zakaria Shaikh
