Our Logo

Our logo is composed of four interconnected elements. The outer ring represents community. The inner circle represents the individual self and personal development. The overlapping obrounds form a chain, symbolizing the Qur’anic verse, “Hold firmly to the rope of Allah and do not be divided.” Within these chains, there is a heart, which represents spiritual development.
