Who Are We?
Tayba is a non-profit helping Muslim prisoners and recent parolees (90% of whom are converts to the deen).
We provide Islamic and Life Skills education to our brothers and sisters behind bars. We also support those being released to ensure they never return to prison.
To date, we have served over 10,000 Muslims in over 1,000 prisons in 48 states.
We are one of the few organizations in America providing Islamic education that’s specifically tailored to the needs of the incarcerated.
