| Description Program Service Accom | Vision:Tayba envisions a world full of people inspired to seek knowledge that will transform them into better human beings and who are provided the resources needed to gain that knowledge.Mission:To work towards achieving this vision, Tayba's mission is to administer workshops, curriculum development, courses and lectures to inspire people to gain beneficial knowledge. We are working to identify those most in need of access to this beneficial knowledge and currently our main focus is to provide access to incarcerated persons within the United States. Our driving force is the Quranic injunction of "Read! In the Name of your Lord."Tayba Program achievements for the 2011 Year: - Continued sponsorship of The Timeless Group, a non-denominational rehabilitation program open to inmates of all faiths that has received recognition from administration within the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Hundreds of inmates have benefitted from this inmate-led rehabilitation course that is offered at no cost to the inmate or the institution. A number of inmates who have completed this program have been found suitable for release by the State of California. - Continued collection and distribution of zakat to proper recipients according to guidelines approved by Muslim scholars (we do not use zakat for operational costs). - Developed a detailed zakat guideline handbook under the guidance of qualified scholars. These guidelines are what Tayba has implemented for zakat distribution. - Re-entry assistance to newly released inmates that have shown their desire to change after participating in our programs. - Working with Islamic organizations and mosques whereby their support of Tayba allows them to outsource their prison correspondence to us. This collaboration has allowed us to reduce expenditure by utilizing resources that other organizations can share or lend to us. - Moved into a large office space at a reduced rental cost that has allowed us to increase our efficiency and use of volunteers. - Two courses developed this year for our Prison Outreach program are being taught on a well-respected online Islamic Academy. These two courses are The Rights of Parents and The Prohibitions of the Tongue. - We have received over 50 applications from inmates requesting to be part of our distance learning program. These applications are in addition to the current number of students that are already taking part in our distance education program. - Participated in a successful program in Chicago organized by Darul Hikma which included educating the public about prison outreach as well as collaborating with the volunteer chaplains in the Cook County Jail. - Coordinated halal meat donations from one of the largest meat distributors in the nation to a state prison in California. - Translated a number of texts from Arabic to English for use in our distance learning program. - Developed two new courses for our Maktab program to teach children.Goals for the Future: - Increase sustained funding to support our growing student population taking part in our distance education to cover their expenses and hire teachers to facilitate the various courses. - Secure a location through purchase to act as a base for our programs of education, rehabilitation and re-entry assistance.Below are details regarding our two main programs at Tayba. The first program for prison outreach is where we focus the majority of our efforts. El Hajj Malik Shabazz ProgramOur Goal:To provide inmates with a course of study that will give them a solid foundation in the knowledge needed to practice the free exercise of Islam according to the People of the Prophetic Tradition and Congregation (ahlul sunna wa jama'ah). The goal is to develop knowledge, formation and character development that enables them to make mature decisions in prison and in society.They will know their religious essentials, have a competent command of Arabic language, such as, recitation, memorization and meaningful reflection for spiritual development. They will be taught this under the care of trained educators that refine their moral, intellectual and spiritual development needed for every Muslim as traditionally taught. The method of instruction includes audio CDs, MP3s, DVDs and correspondence through the mail. In addition to producing our own courses and material, we are also working with other institutions who have allowed us to use courses that they have developed. We will package these courses in a manner that will allow them to be utilized in prisons. We are working with Imams and chaplains who have extensive experience in working with inmates to ensure that our programs have the most benefit to the participants as well as adhering to the all federal, state and local guidelines in working with incarcerated individuals.The Maktab ProjectMaktab is an Arabic word that has been traditionally used to refer to elementary schools. Throughout history, Muslim youth have been provided their basic Islamic knowledge by qualified teachers and scholars of the religion. The sacred knowledge of these teachers was vast and sound, deeply rooted in the traditions of the religion. Today, most young Muslims learn their deen (religion) from their parents or from the devoted elders in their local Sunday School. Rarely, though, do American-Muslim youth have an opportunity to sit with the scholars who have studied Islam extensively, who have mastered the Islamic sciences, and who have the depth and breadth of knowledge not only to deliver the beautiful message of our religion to the children with love and patience, but also to answer their questions accurately and carefully -- allowing for a balanced and accurate understanding of Islam.Now, more than ever, it is crucial that our children have an opportunity to learn the Islam to which so many of us have been exposed to, transforming our lives forever. This is the Islam of love, peace, tolerance, beauty, and balance. We cannot risk the chance of having our youth receive a distorted or inaccurate message; yet, unfortunately, this travesty has been known to happen.In response to this time-sensitive issue, a group of North American scholars and educators based in the San Francisco Bay Area have teamed up to launch the Maktab Project, an initiative meant to provide opportunities for the younger generation in our communities to sit with those who have studied Islam in a traditional manner.The Maktab Project aims to address three main issues:1) CurriculumThe Maktab Project will work to develop a comprehensive, engaging, "Islamically" sound curriculum which can be used by Islamic studies teachers in all settings -- Islamic schools, Sunday schools, afterschool programs, home-schools, etc. The developers of the Maktab curriculum will seek input from experts in multiple fields in an effort to produce a series which comprises not only the knowledge which is obligatory for all Muslims (fard 'ayn) but also contains the creative elements necessary "to bring the lessons alive", as well as practical exercises designed to help students internalize good character and decision-making skills.2) TeachersThe Maktab Project will establish guidelines for individuals teaching Islamic studies to youth. These guidelines will include a minimum level of scholarship and a proven ability to effectively deliver the message to children. In time, teachers will be trained in the best methods of offering the Maktab curriculum. 3) Parent and Community Involvement and FeedbackThe Maktab Project plans to provide a forum of communication between parents, community members, and the teachers. The Maktab Project will allow parents to express their concerns and to have their suggestions considered and integrated into the curriculum and classes. Parents and administrators will be invited to bring their concerns and suggestions to regularly scheduled monthly teachers' meetings. We understand that each Muslim community has its own unique strengths and challenges; therefore, the teachers in the Maktab program are committed to delivering the lessons in the most relevant manner for their student audience.CLASSESThe Maktab Program launched its efforts with classes offered by local scholars and teachers at several Bay Area locations. These classes are not only an important step in offering traditionally-based instruction and curriculum to the youth but will also serve as a means for developing the Maktab Curriculum. | DescriptionProgramServiceAccom |
