- In today’s modern world, raising children to be practicing Muslims is a real struggle.
- We want our children to succeed in both worlds and prioritize their Akhirah.
- We struggle to motivate and inspire our family towards the path of Jannah and find it hard to articulate why this is important.
- Our children are not passionately connected to Islam.
- Peer pressure, social media, and a Dunya-centric society can make the Deen seem unappealing or even burdensome to them.
- Our children haven’t connected to or internalized why the Deen is important.
- They perceive the Deen as difficult and feel it is a set of rigid rules, which is unsettling and worrying for us as parents.
- We want our children to see Islam as a beautiful, fulfilling path to Allah and Jannah, not a restrictive code.
- We worry about our children’s future without a strong Islamic grounding and practice.
- In a world where success is often measured only in material terms, we wonder if they will hold on firmly to their Deen throughout life’s temptations and hardships.
We are like Lost Shepherds.

Sr. Iffat
Enrolling my kid into the Muslim nation builders program has been a great experience where the teachers are nurturing my kid with a focus to apply the guidance they have learnt into real life through activities. The weekly affirmations at the start of the session is a great way to inculcate the mindset of Jannah and the responsibility the kids have as Muslim leaders of the future inshallah.
Dr. Naveen
Jazakallahi khairun for bringing this program to Fresno. We are very happy our kids are part of this program. We noticed a positive influence on the kids from the beginning. It is a very innovative and fun way of teaching kids about Islam. Both kids loved the program and have been talking about it and are excited to come back next week.
Umm Mustafa
The fact that teachers are well-trained, knowledgeable, and educated puts me at ease and gives me confidence to say my child is in good hands and will learn from the best. The stories and knowledge my son shares with me are very important and rich. It’s interesting that I don’t have to drag him out the house rather he looks forward to attend.
Umm Omar
Its name reflects what I see in my son from knowledge increasing since he signed up until today. We have more conversations together about what he learned and Alhamdullilah. As a mother, I am thankful for a program like this where not just learning the religion but rather we both try and practice what was taught.
Umm Zak
My son is really enjoying MNB program! He is looking forward for next class!! This was really well done and well thought out. Everyone on this team in incredible MaShAllah, so connected and so impactful with the kids. May Allah swt grant you all Jannat Firdos! I have been dreaming of something like this forever!! Very very well executed! Kid-approved!!! Love the professional and warm communications always!
What Abdullah loves about MNB
He likes Mnb because it’s unique and not boring like other weekend schools. The work is different than usual. He loves the fact that we have more than one break. He likes the fact that we have it online as well.
What Abdullah loves about Allah
He gave us many blessings. Allah provides for us even when we don’t do much. And if he doesn’t give us it means that it’s better for us.
What Osman likes about MNB
The fact that we don’t have many students and how we have them separated by age. Unlike other weekend schools where they have them separated by levels. He likes how he’s able to focus since that they are just few students in class.
What Osman loves about Allah
Allah is fair and just. He created life, gave us water and food. Allah forgives us and increases our deeds even when it’s only an intention. Allah helps us when we fall and need him. Allah provides for us as much as we need and is best for us.
