The First Muslim Recovery Center in Southern California

A growing crisis among Muslim youth struggling with addiction has revealed a critical gap in faith-based recovery programs. Many young Muslims eligible for release from incarceration refuse to leave due to the lack of recovery centers that accommodate their religious needs. The Lamps of Light project is stepping up to address this issue by establishing the first Muslim Recovery Center in Southern California. This center will provide halal food, space for prayer, and support grounded in Islamic values, offering young Muslims a place to heal while maintaining their faith.

Transformative Impact: Stories of Hope and Recovery

At the heart of the Lamps of Light Project lies a profound mission: to illuminate the paths of those grappling with the heavy burdens of trauma and addiction. We are a beacon of hope, fueled by the passionate belief that no one is beyond redemption. Each of us has faced our own struggles, and who better to guide others through their darkness than those who have emerged from similar shadows?

We stand united in our conviction that every individual has inherent worth, and our purpose is to nurture that potential. By sharing our stories and insights, we aim to foster a community where hope thrives, and healing becomes tangible. We are deeply grateful for the warmth with which individuals, families, and institutions across the nation have welcomed us. Your openness to our approach has allowed us to touch the lives of some of the most traumatized among us.

As we look to the future, we are eager for more opportunities to spread our message of resilience and empowerment, both at home and around the globe. Together, we can light the way for those who need it most, proving that with belief, support, and understanding, transformation is not only possible—it is within reach.
