About Siraj Initiative

Siraj Initiative is an online Quran community based in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) committed to providing high-quality Islamic education to students at all levels. We focus on young adults who are often neglected by Quran programs for beginners.

Our Vision

To allow Muslims to access the Qur'an even if they are starting as adults or need to solidify their recitation.
