Our Vision

Our Logo

This trademarked logo is an abstract representation of an Arabic acronym from part of a verse in the Holy Quran 24:35. Noor-Ala-Noon.That is, Light Upon Light. A translation from from Sahih International reads thusly:

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp, the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly star lit from a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. Allah guides to His light whom He wills. And Allah presents examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things.

Light Upon Light is a positive resource for Americans about Islam.
