This Ramadan, we need your support in raising $50,000, which will fund scholarships for youth, new Muslims, and other Quranic programming and expenses at Good Tree. The generous support from our donors over the past year has allowed us to continue to help people discover the Quran, prioritize their spiritual health, build a deep connection with God, and access Quranic teachings that are deeply rooted in tradition, yet culturally relevant.

Good Tree Institute: Discover the Quran

Good Tree Institute is a community-first Quranic institute that fosters connection and personal discovery through the Quran. Based in Arizona, Good Tree provides virtual and in-person Quranic courses for all ages, spiritual retreats, teen camps, support for new Muslims, and free Quranic programs for anyone to attend nationally and internationally.

At the core of the institute is Dr. Nadia Katrangi, Good Tree’s Chairperson with 20+ years of teaching experience. Her gift of bringing to life the words of the Quran and making them relevant for this moment in time creates a space for meaningful and honest discussions. Offering a safe space where any question is welcome, students of all ages and backgrounds are given a space to connect to and understand the Quran at a deeper level.

Camp Z for Teens

A welcoming space where teens can create lasting friendships with diverse teens from across the country, learn about their faith, explore the Quran, and join in on fun activities like sports, arts & crafts, campfires, rifle shootings, hiking, and more! Teens can seek support and focus on mental, physical & spiritual health while exploring foundational topics, like gender relations, self-doubt, the mercy of God, prayer, who God is, confidence in their faith, and learning how to relieve & overcome everyday teen pressures.

Seekers Retreat for College Students & Young Professionals

A series of spiritual retreats specifically designed for young professionals and college adults. During this time in life, young adults seek to achieve and prosper in their education and career, while also searching for purpose, a spouse, direction, balance, serenity, and a deep connection to God. Through the guidance of the Quran & respected scholars with 20+ years of teaching experience, young adults embark on a journey of self-discovery and a unique way to find spirituality. At our annual Seekers Retreat, young adults learn how to break free from doubt, judgment, and worry, and will learn the tools to achieve the serenity and peace they long for.

Support for New Muslims

The Sadeeq Mentorship Program offers support and helpful resources to Muslims who have recently converted to Islam. Newcomers are paired with Ambassadors who offer spiritual companionship. The program provides a safe space to ask questions and seek resources throughout one's spiritual journey. Our monthly Sadeeq Night allows new Muslims and the community to meet, grow, and foster connections. The community night is for anyone interested in learning about Islam and community members interested in supporting new Muslims. The program includes a Sadeeq Roundtable portion where new Muslims can ask questions, while also hearing from senior converts about their journey over the years. We also present a biography of a person who has created ripples of change throughout their life and how we can learn and grow from their example.

Seeds of Wisdom

This 9-part series of weekend retreats is designed to convey a comprehensive understanding of the 30th Juzu’ (section) of the Holy Quran, which contains Surahs (Quranic Chapters) embodying a thematic principle. Attendees come away with an understanding of basic foundational Quranic principles and the ability to critically reflect upon profound ideas such as the purpose of creation, how we view ourselves, and our role in society.
