Get inspired by the “Sahaba Behind Bars”
Stories in your inbox. Every month.
For people in one of the worst places in America, Islam is a beacon of light in the darkness. That’s why many incarcerated Muslims approach their faith with inspiring sincerity and dedication, leading to some calling them “the sahaba behind bars”.
As a PrisonConnect donor, you’ll receive a monthly email with some such inspiring stories, letters from Tayba students, or other news to better connect you to some of the most incredible Muslims in the US.
Let your monthly donation have more impact:

Help us

intention pure
With monthly donations automatically coming in, our fundraising team can do less asking. That way we can redirect marketing costs to directly serving incarcerated Muslims.
Monthly gifts give us better clarity about our budget. With more monthly donations, we can plan ahead better and spend our funding more wisely.
The Prophet ﷺ promised shade on the Day of Judgment for those who give in secret such that even their left hand doesn’t know. With monthly donations, you can “set it and forget it”, enabling you to act on this hadith.
Your monthly gift will
go towards:
Islamic Education
90% of Muslims behind bars are converts. For most, there is no access to basic books or a qualified imam. Tayba provides all levels of Islamic education contextualized for prison as well access to teachers via phone, email, and letter. In many prisons, we are the only resource available for Muslims.
Re-Entry Support
Ridiculous laws and severe restrictions set up prisoners for failure upon release. We help recent parolees with re-establishing their life by assisting with housing, job search, professional education, counseling, and many other needs.
Legal Assistance
A large portion of our clients are either innocent or face excessive sentences for minor crimes. We connect them with legal experts, manuals, and other critical resources to help them fight their convictions and finally regain their deserved freedom.
