“Allah Guides to His Light Whom He Wills ”(Qur'an 24:35)
This verse is the inspiration behind our name, Guiding Light. Our mission is to illuminate a path to Allah (God) with the light of the holy Qur'an and the radiant Sunnah (prophetic tradition).
Guiding Light aims to provide a space where individuals are able to strengthen their bond with Allah (God) understanding & implementing the word of Allah (God) and the traditions of the final Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah (God) be upon him).
In addition, Guiding Light works to strengthen the social fabric of the western Muslim community by providing a religiously inspired gathering space for Muslims of all ages and backgrounds.

Our Programs
Maktab
Guiding Light’s MAKTAB program is designed with the central purpose of providing individualized, one-on-one attention to the student. In comparison, most Sunday school programs lack focus on individualized Qur’anic recitation. This leads to a slow and questionable progress in the student’s recitation. Primary focus of the MAKTAB program is to provide one-on-one attention in small class sizes.

Hifdh
Memorization of the Holy Qur’an is a centuries old tradition and a cornerstone of our faith. It has been the primary method used in the preservation of the Holy Qur’an. Its memorization is highly encouraged and a rewarding practice, as is proven from numerousahadith.
With that, we are excited to announce a full-time Hifdh (Qur’an memorization) program at Guiding Light. Through this program, we hope to provide a much needed service in the South Bay.
