Equity Statement

TISA will strive to do the following in carrying out its actions as an educational institution:

1. Include the diversity of thought and opinion within the Muslim American Community as long as it resonates with the ethos and meaning of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)

2. Commit to equitable treatment and opportunity for all men and women and elimination of all forms of discrimination throughout the institution

3. Make its offerings accessible to people from economically stressed communities:

Allah states in the Qur’an:

“O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may get to know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware.”

— Qur’an 49:13

This powerful verse provides a strong foundation for a commitment to diversity and inclusion at an Islamic educational institution such as The Islamic Seminary of America (TISA). Following the example of the community established by the Prophet Muhammad (s) more than 1,400 years ago, TISA strives not only for excellence in Islamic education but also to model inclusiveness, dignity, mutual respect, and equal opportunity within the Muslim community and broader American society.

TISA’s commitment to inclusiveness is firmly grounded in Islamic principles as reflected in the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (s), as well as the rich scholarly tradition developed over more than fourteen centuries. These foundational sources guide our efforts to cultivate an educational community in which people from diverse backgrounds are respected, valued, and given meaningful opportunities to learn, contribute, serve, and lead.
