The Library Has Reopened

As part of the Center for Higher Islamic Learning, the SALAM Library has been refreshed with a new look and is now open to the community. Though our shelves are just beginning to fill, we’re excited to begin building a space of scholarship and serenity, one book at a time.

We invite you to our first events in the newly reopened library this weekend with two special Book Talks exploring faith, leadership, and community.

    Invest in Sacred Knowledge

    The Center for Higher Islamic Learning is a generational investment. We’re building a home for serious Islamic education in the heart of Sacramento: where seekers study, scholars teach, libraries grow, and hearts connect to Allah ﷻ.

    With your support, we can expand our courses, enhance our facilities, publish educational resources, and offer scholarships to students of knowledge. Every contribution plants a seed of lasting impact.
