In a world where Muslim values are not the cultural norm, Arkanum is an accessible resource that can help our Muslim youth grow into grounded and firm believers of Allah (SWT).
ARKANUM
OUR STORY
Arkanum started back in 2015 as a small, passionate group of individuals who saw the need for change in their community. Led by the founder, AbuBakr Fakhry, the goal was to revitalize the community with a program of excitement, character-development and Islamic enrichment.
“Our group was formed as an answer to the problems within the Muslim community in Boston” AbuBakr Fakhry
Our program was tailored to develop our youth into young adults who promote peace and who proudly display their Islamic heritage. Through various retreats into the forests of Maine where kids give up their electronics and dive into Islamic history or our weekly sessions that include our long greetings and even longer goodbye’s, the mentees develop a sense of responsibility towards their community that stays with them for a lifetime.
Arkanum is nothing more than a passionate team of volunteers but through this team, we have been able to serve over 400 kids in the surrounding Boston area and we are still growing. Through our program, under the guidance of established, young Muslim adults, we hope to encourage our youth to seek the path of tolerance, kindness, success and love.
OUR VISION
Arkanum strives to become the model for Islamic youth programs in Western society by sharing and applying our blueprint to other communities. We hope this blueprint can help the Muslim youth grow and thrive nationwide through the enforcement of high standards of character and shared accountability.
OUR MISSION
To develop well-rounded Muslim-Americans through mentorships so that they become agents of positive change in their communities whle remaining faithful to islamic values and traditions
