The Imam AlKisai Institute of America is dedicated to providing educational, religious, social, and recreational services. The overarching aim of our services is to support people in identifying their gifts, and talents, and in making a contribution to society by living purposeful lives. Our programing is rooted in Islamic values.

Our institute is named after Imam AlKisai. Imam Al-Kisai was a scholar of the Quran and Arabic Language. He was born 119 years after the Hijrah, which corresponds to the year 737 CE. Traditionally, there are ten different ways of reciting the Quran. Imam AlKisai represents one of these ways. He wrote many books on the Quran and Arabic Grammar. He is still well known throughout the world to this day.
