Join Omar Suleiman and spread the light of Islam in prison

We use an innovative rehabilitation model of personalized engagement, Islamic spiritual knowledge, mentoring, and access to college-level education.

Help Muslims Returning from Prison
Islam is one of the fastest-growing and most popular faith-based programs in U.S. prisons (nearly 15%* of inmates are Muslim). But support for Muslim prisoners is severely neglected. Many of our ‘forgotten’ brothers and sisters give up on their faith and even return back to prison after being released. Help us change that by supporting the life-changing work in prison and in the community. Link Outside currently operates a modest budget with part-time staff members and volunteers. Since 2010 our team has managed to provide services for nearly 2,000 incarcerated Muslims at over 100 prisons and jails in over 30 states.

Our Supporters
“It’s not about the past but about the ending. It’s important that all of us play a role. Don’t forget about the incarcerated Muslims. What you guys are doing is amazing.”
"These are the types of projects that light my heart. This is something that I believe very strongly in and insha'Allah (God willing) I hope you'll support this project and continue to support prison outreach efforts."
So let's help them fulfill what I firmly believe is a fard kifayah [communal obligation]: educating those multitudes of new Muslims...they are doing it on behalf of all of us, so our part is to support them financially and with our prayers
