Divine Guidance for Community Building

Inspired by Quran and Hadith to serve humanity

وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ

"And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression."

Quran 5:2 - Surah Al-Ma'idah
الْمُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ كَالْبُنْيَانِ يَشُدُّ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا

"The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs suffers, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever."

Sahih al-Bukhari 2442
First Hijrah Foundation

Welcome to First Hijrah Foundation (FHF)

At First Hijrah Foundation (FHF), we believe faith and community go hand in hand. More than just a place of worship, FHF is a space where people come together to learn, grow, and support one another.

Whether it's through education, cultural programs, or community service, our goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels at home, guided by Islamic principles of compassion, justice, and service to humanity.

Our Story

FHF was born from a simple vision: to build a place where Muslims and the wider community can come together, learn from each other, and grow spiritually.

Over the years, we've grown into a recognized Islamic foundation, serving not only our members but anyone seeking guidance, learning, or community connection. Our journey reflects the Islamic tradition of building communities based on faith, knowledge, and service.

Our Story

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to promote understanding, compassion, and peace between Muslims and the wider community. We aim to share knowledge about Islam while serving everyone with respect and dignity, regardless of faith or background.

We strive to build a sense of brotherhood, encourage human dignity, and create opportunities for learning, growth, and collaboration. FHF also represents our community in interfaith activities, local government discussions, and public engagements, helping to build bridges and understanding.

Our Vision

We aim to provide programs and services that benefit everyone. While our foundation primarily serves the Muslim community, our doors are open to all, regardless of faith, background, or origin.

FHF is fully supported by the community, and we operate independently—free from influence by political groups, foreign entities, or special interests. Our organization is governed by clear bylaws, a Board of Directors, and a Board of Trustees, all elected by our members. We hold annual meetings and town halls to keep our community informed and engaged.
