Get inspired by
the “Sahaba Behind Bars”

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.

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.

 

What our monthly donors say:

Helping prisoners is overlooked. it’s a community obligation which not all members are fulfilling so we definitely want to put in our share.

Sidra

“[I support] Tayba because it helps some of the most vulnerable and lonely people in the world. I could have easily been one of them if I had been raised with experiences similar to them.”

Behnoush

“I support Tayba because it helps one of the most unsupported areas of our community. We pray that the hand of redemption and forgiveness be extended to all of us … Ameen.”

Anonymous donor

“I think the work you are doing to properly educate incarcerated Muslims is vital. Also I love to read stories of the brothers and sisters who get out.”

Nicole

“I strongly believe that prisoners thoroughly deserve a second chance in life. Allah SWT commands us to be merciful to others especially your fellow Muslim brothers.”
