    In 2009, Zaytuna College was founded in Berkeley, California, with a mission that called for grounding students in the Islamic scholarly tradition as well as in the cultural currents and critical ideas shaping modern society.

  • Academics

    As a Muslim liberal arts college in the West, Zaytuna offers a curriculum that provides its students with a foundation in the intellectual heritage of two major world civilizations: the Islamic and the Western.

    Zaytuna’s campus is on Holy Hill and students enter the College as part of a cohort, a community of learners that travel together through the curriculum.

Journey with Zaytuna College during the Month of the Qur’an

The Qur’an and its perfect exemplar, our Prophet ﷺ, remain central to our mission as we seek to reap the endless rewards of this blessed month. In these sacred days and nights, we ask Allah to grant us the strength and ability to focus so we may benefit from every moment of our fasts, devotional prayers, Qur’anic recitations, charitable giving, and community service.

May we purify our minds and hearts through divine remembrance, and may we hold fast to the sunnah and sublime example of our Prophet ﷺ, who taught us the perfect response for any situation. In these troubling times, we renew our commitment to rectify ourselves, our families, and our communities, and to do whatever we can to alleviate the suffering and difficulties of others.

Prayer Hall Project

In this video, join Ustadh Feraidoon Mojadedi for a visit to our musalla: the heart of our community, the source of the call to prayer that invites us all to come together for worship as the Holy Prophet urged us to do. The musalla serves as a sanctuary from the world, a place for study and contemplation. We need your support to renovate and beautify this sacred space.

Campus Beautification

Islam calls us to beauty, whether in our prayers and devotions, the meals we cook, the clothes we adorn, or the crafts we undertake. It is this legacy of beauty that brought countless individuals to embrace Islam, enraptured by the perfect example of God’s Chosen One ﷺ. No one reflects divine beauty more than the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and by his command, we must strive to be that beauty mark amongst humanity: a vessel of truth, goodness, and beauty that can revive the barren hearts yearning for divine illumination.
