Why this project?

The Story of Abdullah

Over three decades ago in Epe, Nigeria, a young boy named Abdullah was enrolled in the best school his mother could find—one rooted in Catholic tradition. Though he excelled academically, the environment nearly cost him his Islamic identity. It wasn’t until a pivotal encounter with his uncle—who taught him the meaning of Tawheed—that Abdullah’s path changed. He went on to memorize the Qur’an, earn a PhD in the United States, and dedicate his life to ensuring that no Muslim child must ever choose between academic excellence and their faith.

Abdullah's story is not just personal—it's a mission. A mission to build The Peace Center for Culture and Knowledge, a sanctuary where young Muslims can grow intellectually and spiritually, rooted in both world-class education and deep Islamic values.
