Zawiyah Foundation of the DMV

As an Islamic religious organization, Zawiyah Foundation of the DMV’s purpose is to advance the spiritual and educational needs of Muslims throughout the DMV area. We are dedicated to spreading love and happiness, to building a three-dimensional relationship between the individual and his/her Creator, between the individual and his/herself, and between the individual and the entire creation. This three dimensional relationship consists of remembrance (dhikr), "Remember me and I will remember you" (The Quran, 2:152), love "He loves them and they love Him" (The Quran, 3:31; 5:54), and happiness, "He is happy with them, and they are happy with Him" (The Quran, 58:22). The Absolute Citizen is the one who is immersed in remembrance of God, one who has a beautiful character, and one who finds happiness in Service to humanity. Zawiyah Foundation of the DMV aims to facilitate the achievement of this vision by creating a conducive environment whereby relevant guidance and instructions are made available to all those who are seeking to become absolute citizens of an absolute universe. To fulfill this purpose, Zawiyah Foundation of the DMV will focus on writing and publication of scholarly works, creating an open space for individuals to come and feel at home, offering online and in-person classes and seminars, creating opportunities for individuals to seek and obtain spiritual healing, engaging in charitable endeavors to feed, clothe and support underprivileged and disadvantaged persons, and organizing gatherings and activities that help fulfil this purpose.
