Imam El-Tayeb

Inspired by a Legacy of Wisdom

The Foundation draws inspiration from the life and guidance of Imam Ahmad El-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar — one of the oldest centers of Islamic scholarship. His teachings emphasize harmony, critical thinking, and compassion toward all.

“Religion is meant to unite hearts, not divide them. The essence of faith is mercy — whoever lacks mercy lacks true faith.”
