“As a current student of the master program, I wholeheartedly appreciate the value of the Respect Graduate School. I can say this: It has been the best education decision I have ever made. It was the first time I started to learn true Islam, we are distinguished by its evaluation and criticism skills, this is the first time I was actively learning my religion.
In fact, I had the opportunity to participate in the Respect Graduate School’s donation campaign last year. I had the opportunity to buy those wonderful paintings that were sold for the benefit of the school at the auction. I have both invaluable artifacts and had a chance to help the school. It has been a win for me in every way.
I sincerely encourage you to invest in Respect Graduate School. Donate, attend classes, or do both! Make sure you won’t be disappointed!”
“When I started my education at Respect, I didn’t know any Arabic. Towards the end of the 2nd semester, I experienced the true happiness when I could make translations from the Quran and Hadith texts. I recommend it to everyone.”
“I attended the Key Concepts course in Risale-i Nur by getting a full scholarship. I had a chance to know Respect through those lessons and I loved it. Respect has become like my family. May Allah make your services permanent and allow us to run and serve in the same way when the time comes! “
Respect Graduate School has a rare mosque that reflects the nature of traditional Turkish Islamic art. Our mosque offers an attractive example of Islam to the cosmopolitan Muslim and non-Muslim society of America with its visual character and its religious services bearing the traces of Turkish Islamic thought that has been distilled for centuries.
The masjid offers five daily adhan and prayers including Ramadan tarawih prayers with full Qur’an recitation (Hatim) and iftar meals that embrace the entire community regardless of religion, language, and race. Lively Friday prayers with activities in the style of the Turkish Bayram culture attract a wide variety of Muslims.
Additional services are provided to student groups, churches, and similar institutions. They include expert teaching of Islam, guidance services to Muslim converts and educational seminars. There are also family organizations, conversation programs and demonstrations by the world-famous Qur’an Hafiz.
Respect Graduate School masjid’s imam is Beytullah Çolak. Imam Colak provides services to many different segments of society through our mosque and leaves permanent marks on many lives thanks to his services in Turkish, English, Arabic, Kurdish and Spanish.
It is possible to contribute to the operating expenses of our mosque and to continue to offer its multiple services due to the contributions of our charitable friends and congregation.
“The mosques of Allah should only be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer, pay zakat, and fear none but Allah. It is right to hope that they will be among the truly guided.”
Surah At-Tawbah, Verse 18.
Where knowledge becomes wisdom.
