A community conversation on the call to service.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked, “Who is the best among people?” He replied, “The best of people are those most beneficial to others.”

In collaboration with Himmah, Muallif is excited to announce an upcoming event featuring directors from Ta'leef Collective USA, a community co-founded by Imam Zaid Shakir, who was the personal Imam to Muhammad Ali - the late boxer.
