Our most dedicated supporter has been F.A.D.E.L. organization, to which we owe our deepest gratitude. Their commitment to Islamic education is unwavering. In addition to F.A.D.E.L., numerous other individuals and organizations have supported the League since our incorporation in 1998. The contribution that each has made to the success of the ISLA’s mission is significant and incalculable. Equally important is the support that the League receives from the talented and dedicated educators working in the Islamic K-12 schools that this organization serves.
