AS ENROLLMENT EXPANDED ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND DEMAND FOR FAITH-BASED EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT WITHIN CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES CONTINUED TO RISE, TAYBA STRENGTHENED BOTH ITS DIRECT STUDENT SERVICES AND THE INTERNAL SYSTEMS REQUIRED TO SUSTAIN LONG-TERM IMPACT. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, THE ORGANIZATION REMAINED FOCUSED ON FIVE CORE PRIORITIES: -EXPANDING ACCESS TO INCARCERATED MUSLIM STUDENTS NATIONWIDE -DEEPENING AND DIVERSIFYING TAYBAS EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM -PRESERVING MEANINGFUL PERSONAL ENGAGEMENT THROUGH COACHING AND MENTORSHIP -STRENGTHENING INTERNAL ADMINISTRATIVE AND OPERATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE -INVESTING IN SCALABLE LONG-TERM INITIATIVES, PARTICULARLY DIGITAL LEARNING DELIVERY TAKEN TOGETHER, THESE EFFORTS POSITIONED 2025 NOT SIMPLY AS A YEAR OF INCREASED ACTIVITY, BUT AS A YEAR IN WHICH TAYBA MEANINGFULLY EXPANDED ITS CAPACITY FOR NATIONAL REACH, EDUCATIONAL DEPTH, AND FUTURE SUSTAINABILITY. NATIONAL PROGRAM REACH & STUDENT ENGAGEMENT TAYBA FOUNDATION CONTINUED TO BROADEN ITS NATIONAL FOOTPRINT IN 2025, SERVING INCARCERATED MUSLIM STUDENTS ACROSS A GROWING NUMBER OF FACILITIES AND JURISDICTIONS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES 2025 PROGRAM REACH -TOTAL STUDENTS SERVED: 2,225 -NEW STUDENTS ENROLLED IN 2025: 1,158 -CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES SERVED: 443 -STATES SERVED: 41 -OACHING CALLS CONDUCTED: 1,785 -COURSES AND BOOKS MAILED: 3,713 STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS -MALE: 1,888 -FEMALE: 147 THESE FIGURES REFLECT NOT ONLY THE SCALE OF TAYBAS EDUCATIONAL DISTRIBUTION, BUT ALSO THE ORGANIZATIONS COMMITMENT TO INDIVIDUALIZED ACCOMPANIMENT. TAYBAS MODEL IS INTENTIONALLY BUILT AROUND SUSTAINED ENGAGEMENT: STUDENTS ARE NOT SIMPLY MAILED BOOKS, BUT ARE SUPPORTED THROUGH COACHING CALLS, CORRESPONDENCE, CURRICULUM GUIDANCE, AND LONG-TERM ACADEMIC FOLLOW-THROUGH. AS DEMAND INCREASED, TAYBA SUCCESSFULLY PRESERVED THE PERSONAL DIMENSION OF ITS WORK WHILE OPERATING AT A SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER NATIONAL SCALE. MAJOR CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT & SCHOLARLY PUBLICATION AMONG TAYBAS MOST SIGNIFICANT EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2025 WAS THE RELEASE OF THE PURIFIER OF HEARTS, AN APPROXIMATELY 400-PAGE SCHOLARLY TEXT AND THE FIRST COMPLETE ENGLISH COMMENTARY ON SHAYKH MUHAMMAD MAWLUDS CLASSICAL POEM ON PURIFICATION OF THE HEART. THE WORK WAS DEVELOPED OVER THE COURSE OF NEARLY A DECADE BY AMIN ANDERSON, MUCH OF IT WHILE HE HIMSELF WAS INCARCERATED, AND NOW SERVES AS THE CENTRAL TEXT FOR TAYBAS IHSN 101 COURSE. THIS PUBLICATION REPRESENTS MORE THAN THE ADDITION OF A NEW TEXTBOOK. IT EMBODIES THE EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AT THE HEART OF TAYBAS MISSION: RIGOROUS TRADITIONAL ISLAMIC SCHOLARSHIP DELIVERED THROUGH VOICES THAT INTIMATELY UNDERSTAND THE LIVED REALITIES OF INCARCERATION, REHABILITATION, AND SPIRITUAL STRUGGLE. FOR MANY STUDENTS, THIS TEXT STANDS AS BOTH A SERIOUS WORK OF SACRED LEARNING AND A PROFOUND TESTAMENT TO WHAT DISCIPLINED SCHOLARSHIP AND FAITH FORMATION CAN PRODUCE BEHIND PRISON WALLS. EXPANSION OF CORE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING IN 2025, TAYBA FOUNDATION ALSO LAUNCHED TWO NEW FLAGSHIP COURSES, SIGNIFICANTLY BROADENING THE RANGE AND DEPTH OF ITS CORE CURRICULUM. SIRA 99 SIRA 99 PRESENTS THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD THROUGH CAREFULLY INTEGRATED MAPS, VISUALS, TIMELINES, AND GUIDED REFLECTION EXERCISES. THE COURSE WAS INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED FOR THE CORRECTIONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, WHERE STUDENTS OFTEN STUDY INDEPENDENTLY AND BENEFIT FROM HIGHLY STRUCTURED, IMMERSIVE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS. ISLAM 98 ISLAM 98 WAS DEVELOPED AS A FOUNDATIONAL COURSE COVERING THE ESSENTIALS OF ISLAMIC BELIEF AND PRACTICE, INCLUDING THEOLOGY, RITUAL PURIFICATION, PRAYER, AND THE PILLARS OF ISLAM, WHILE ALSO ADDRESSING THE PRACTICAL REALITIES OF MAINTAINING RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE WITHIN PRISON INSTITUTIONS. BOTH COURSES WERE WRITTEN IN A CLEAR, HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE STYLE INTENDED TO REPLICATE, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, THE EXPLANATORY PRESENCE OF A TEACHER. THEIR PEDAGOGICAL AIM EXTENDS BEYOND INFORMATION TRANSFER: THEY ARE DESIGNED TO CULTIVATE REFLECTION, DISCIPLINE, MORAL GROWTH, AND A STABLE SPIRITUAL FRAMEWORK FOR STUDENTS NAVIGATING INCARCERATION. STUDENT SUPPORT, COACHING & DIRECT COMMUNICATION TAYBAS EDUCATIONAL MODEL CONTINUES TO DISTINGUISH ITSELF THROUGH UNUSUALLY HIGH LEVELS OF DIRECT HUMAN CONTACT. IN 2025, TAYBA INSTRUCTORS PROVIDED: -1,785 ONE-ON-ONE COACHING CALLS -2,468 STUDENT EMAIL RESPONSES THESE INTERACTIONS REMAIN CENTRAL TO THE ORGANIZATIONS EFFECTIVENESS. THROUGH THEM, STUDENTS RECEIVE: ACADEMIC CLARIFICATION, MENTORSHIP AND SPIRITUAL ENCOURAGEMENT, ACCOUNTABILITY IN COURSE PROGRESSION, AND PRACTICAL SUPPORT IN NAVIGATING INSTITUTIONAL BARRIERS. THIS LEVEL OF INDIVIDUALIZED COMMUNICATION ENSURES THAT TAYBAS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING FUNCTIONS AS A LIVING MENTORSHIP SYSTEM RATHER THAN A PASSIVE CORRESPONDENCE SERVICE. FOR MANY INCARCERATED STUDENTS, THESE CONSISTENT POINTS OF CONTACT ARE AMONG THE FEW STABLE EDUCATIONAL AND FAITH-BASED SUPPORT RELATIONSHIPS AVAILABLE TO THEM. IMPROVING INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS & DELIVERY INFRASTRUCTURE AS TAYBAS ENROLLMENT EXPANDED, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUED WORKING THROUGH ONE OF THE MOST PERSISTENT CHALLENGES IN PRISON EDUCATION: GAINING RELIABLE INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS. THROUGHOUT 2025, TAYBA MADE MEASURABLE PROGRESS BY: SECURING VENDOR APPROVAL IN ADDITIONAL CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS, NAVIGATING SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS AND INSTITUTIONAL COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS, AND IMPROVING MATERIAL DELIVERY PATHWAYS TO FACILITIES THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY PROVEN DIFFICULT TO SERVE. WHILE OFTEN INVISIBLE EXTERNALLY, THESE LOGISTICAL GAINS ARE MISSION-CRITICAL. EVERY IMPROVEMENT IN INSTITUTIONAL ACCESS DIRECTLY TRANSLATES INTO MORE STUDENTS SUCCESSFULLY RECEIVING BOOKS, COURSEWORK, AND EDUCATIONAL CORRESPONDENCE. STRATEGIC DIGITAL EDUCATION EXPANSION ONE OF TAYBAS MOST IMPORTANT LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS IN 2025 WAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS DIGITAL EDUCATION DIVISION IN RESPONSE TO THE RAPID NATIONWIDE GROWTH OF PRISON TABLET LEARNING SYSTEMS. RECOGNIZING THAT THE FUTURE OF CORRECTIONAL EDUCATION INCREASINGLY INCLUDES SECURE DIGITAL PLATFORMS, TAYBA UNDERTOOK THE FOUNDATIONAL PRODUCTION AND INFRASTRUCTURE WORK NECESSARY TO MAKE HIGH-QUALITY ISLAMIC EDUCATION AVAILABLE IN THIS FORMAT. KEY 2025 DIGITAL MILESTONES -COMPLETION OF TAYBAS IN-HOUSE RECORDING STUDIO IN UNION CITY -DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNAL SOFTWARE AND PRODUCTION WORKFLOW REQUIRED FOR COURSE CREATION -FULL FILMING OF THE IMAN 99 AND BIRR 99 DIGITAL COURSES -CREATION OF SUPPLEMENTARY SCHOLARLY EBOOKS AND LESSON-BASED QUIZZES FOR IMAN 99 -COMPLETION OF ALL BACKEND PUBLICATION WORK FOR IMAN 99, OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED IN EARLY 2026 -INITIAL PRODUCTION WORK ON AN ARABIC LANGUAGE COURSE SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE ON EDOVO EACH DIGITAL COURSE REQUIRES EXTENSIVE SCHOLARLY WRITING, LECTURE PRODUCTION, SLIDE DESIGN, VISUAL EDITING, ASSESSMENT DEVELOPMENT, AND BRANDED EBOOK FORMATTING. THE RESULTING PRODUCT IS NOT SIMPLY VIDEO CONTENT, BUT A COMPREHENSIVE STRUCTURED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ADAPTED TO CORRECTIONAL TABLET SYSTEMS. THIS WORK LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR TAYBAS TRANSITION FROM A MAIL-BASED EDUCATIONAL PROVIDER TO A HYBRID MAIL-AND-DIGITAL NATIONAL EDUCATION PLATFORM. INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION INTO CANADA IN 2025, TAYBA FOUNDATION INITIATED ITS FIRST INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION, EXTENDING EDUCATIONAL SERVICES INTO CANADA THROUGH CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES IN OTTAWA AND TORONTO. KEY 2025 ACCOMPLISHMENTS -COMPLETED INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH AND LAUNCH PLANNING FOR CANADIAN CORRECTIONAL PROGRAMMING -COORDINATED DIRECTLY WITH MUSLIM CHAPLAINS IN BOTH FACILITIES REGARDING LOGISTICS AND STUDENT NEEDS -DELIVERED 360 BOOKS TO STUDENTS ACROSS THE TWO MAJOR FACILITIES BY LATE 2025 -FULFILLED INDIVIDUAL EDUCATIONAL BOOK REQUESTS FOR STUDENTS IN SMALLER FACILITIES NATIONWIDE THIS INITIAL CANADIAN EXPANSION MARKS AN IMPORTANT STRATEGIC MILESTONE AND DEMONSTRATES THE TRANSFERABILITY OF TAYBAS EDUCATIONAL MODEL BEYOND THE UNITED STATES. NATIONAL MEDIA RECOGNITION: CBS FEATURE IN FEBRUARY 2025, TAYBA FOUNDATION RECEIVED NATIONAL MEDIA EXPOSURE THROUGH ITS INCLUSION IN CBSS DOCUMENTARY PROGRAM THE STATE OF SPIRITUALITY. THE SEGMENT FEATURED INTERVIEWS WITH TAYBA TEAM MEMBERS CONDUCTED BY LISA LING AND INTRODUCED A BROAD PUBLIC AUDIENCE TO THE ROLE OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION, SPIRITUAL REHABILITATION, AND FAITH-CENTERED TRANSFORMATION INSIDE CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES. PUBLISHED SUBSEQUENTLY ACROSS CBS DIGITAL PLATFORMS, THE SEGMENT HAS GENERATED OVER 350,000 VIEWS, SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDING PUBLIC AWARENESS OF TAYBAS MISSION AND THE BROADER CONVERSATION AROUND INCARCERATED MUSLIMS IN AMERICA. INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TAYBAS ENDOWMENT FUND IN 2025, TAYBAS ENDOWMENT FUND ADVANCED FROM CONCEPTUAL PLANNING INTO FORMAL INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE. WITH THE ONBOARDING OF NEW BOARD LEADERSHIPINCLUDING A BOARD CHAIR, TREASURER, AND A DEDICATED ENDOWMENT COMMITTEETHE ORGANIZATION SUBSTANTIALLY STRENGTHENED
