Our children need a place to build their futures

Detroit was listed as the second most impoverished big city in the U.S. Yet it is a city rich with cultures, with immigrants from all over the world, including a vibrant and thriving Muslim West-African community. Within this community, Muslim, West African immigrant families are struggling to keep their families together. Many are unable to afford Islamic schools as they struggle to make ends meet.

Often times children are left at home while their parents work to put food on the table. They are left to their own devices, oftentimes falling into bad company. Introduced to new cultures, they
lose their way, forming identities outside of being Muslim.
 

Our children need a place to grow

A place to call their own, so that they may learn and grow within their own cultures, their own religion. A place that nurtures them to be the best version of themselves, and a place where their families can come together and strengthen relationships.

The Prophet ﷺ said, “The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it” [Bukhari]

Our Story

Darul Wahi began as a weekend school, offering hifz and Islamic studies classes. Quickly, demand for our programs increased. In 2019 we established full-time programs for both youth and adults, providing students with highly educated teachers dedicated to learning and leading the next generation.
 

Rather than have us tell you more, please hear the story of one of our students: “I used to be in a public school, my grades were failing and I never really cared about them. My parents were tired because I would come back from school saying that there was no hope for me if I didn't change and the only thing that steered my life was what others thought about me. Allah (swt) was irrelevant in my life and I never really cared about memorizing the Quran. My future was the last thing on my list in life. My parents were thinking about sending me to Africa, until we found Darul Wahi. We decided to try it out. The first few months were life changing. Everyday I would come home learning something new and I had a new found passion to change. My relationship with Allah (swt) was getting stronger and stronger. Currently, I've memorized over half of the Quran, I have a deep understanding about Islam, and my academic life is much better. I have a newfound purpose in my life to serve Allah (swt) and InshaAllah, I am working towards a great future.”
Alhamduillah it is stories like this that inspire us to continue this paramount work at Darul Wahi.

Detroit’s youth need a place to grow. Help meet the needs of our city by supporting Darul Wahi.
