Growing Leaders,
One Sunday at a
Time.

GreenStairs Leadership Academy was founded over 25 years ago with a simple but powerful belief: that Muslim teenagers and adults deserve a space to grow into confident, principled leaders

AND

they must know why they need to know the meaning of what they say in prayer and then learn it

Wisdom

“Every one of you is a shepherd, and every one of you is responsible for his flock.”

— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Bukhari & Muslim)

Our Mission

Why

We equip Muslim teenagers with the skills, values, and confidence to lead — in their homes, schools, communities, and eventually the broader world.

GISLA or GreenStairs is not just a class. It is a community of young people who challenge one another, hold one another accountable, and rise together — step by step.

Every Sunday in Fairfax VA at the Shirley Gate Rd masjid, (www,Icnvt.com) GreenStairs creates a sacred space where students can learn, reflect, and grow — surrounded by community and guided by mentors who care deeply about their future.
