Support Islamic Education with your Wallet!

Since we first started in 2012, Understanding Islam Academy (UIA) has been dedicated to making Islamic education relevant, affordable, and accessible.

As the name itself implies, Understanding Islam Academy's goal is to facilitate understanding of sacred Islamic traditions in the contemporary context.

Far from theoretical discourses on 'good to know' subjects, UIA's carefully designed classes provide education on topics you need to know as a Muslim who loves Allah and His creation.

We have programs ranging from local on-site children’s classes, to family and youth programs, to Live online ISLAMinars with worldwide esteemed scholars that have reached Muslims from Indonesia to Argentina!

So join us in helping spread the love, understanding, and practice of this beautiful religion. Donate to UIA NOW!

Give what you can. Nothing is too little, and know that “whatever you spend of good - it will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged” [2:272].
