About Us
Mission and History
Qaraar Foundation is a non-profit 501c(3) corporation dedicated to providing services for Muslims seeking spiritual guidance from professional Muslim counselors as well as facilitating outreach programs for Muslim Student Associations in California.
Our team is comprised of second-generation immigrant and convert Muslims who have experienced the unique challenges and struggles associated with navigating societal differences as part of a one-percent minority faith group in the United States.
Although we are a young organization formed in 2023, we are dedicated to achieve our vision of every Muslim having access to expert scholars to guide them on their spiritual journeys.
