Agenda to Change Our Condition
Minara Program
A symbol of assistance and hope, the minara (lighthouse) offers guidance for wayfarers of the world.  With so many Muslims searching for knowledge while grappling with the arduous scheduling demands of the modern world, we proudly offer the Zaytuna Minara Program.  This new program provides a concentrated educational format in which selected topics are taught in multiple day-long sessions to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge.  The Zaytuna Minara Program is open to all students new and experienced with no application required.  All wayfarers are welcome.

What separates our Minara programs from ordinary lectures is the fact that we structure the program around specific topics that include student exercises, group activities, and measurable, attainable goals.

Our first topic, Agenda to Change Our Condition, has been taught in Houston, San Jose, and Dallas.  To date, nearly 1,000 students have benefited from our Minara programs.  We anticipate developing new topics and visiting additional cities in the near future.

"...a truly spiritually uplifting experience... Practical steps were
outlined, as well as exercises that anyone, from a new Muslim, to a
scholar would find beneficial for their souls
. "
-Washington D.C. Minara participant

"This is probably the most enlightening conference I have ever been to."
