Muslim Educational Trust

In 1993, MET was founded with the dream to help create an open, empowering, and collaborative atmosphere within the Muslim community in the greater Portland area. Over the years, MET has made significant strides in the development of Portland‘s Islamic-based education. MET ’s focus on education through positive interaction with Muslims and non-Muslims and honest communication with the media and public officials has positively impacted not only the people of Portland, but well beyond our local area.

The greatest impact has been on a core group of students who have spent their formative years at the Islamic School of MET and Oregon Islamic Academy. These students have grown to be successful academically, but more importantly, become the embodiment of what it means to be a confident, active, believing, and practicing young American Muslim. In shaa Allah, it will be these very same students who grow into leadership roles in the coming years and help lead our community to be in the vanguard of those who engage in bridge-building dialogue, faith-based community service, and stewardship of Earth and humanity. – Vision Statement by Co-Founders of the Muslim Educational Trust: Mr. Ayoob Ramjan, Ms. Gail Ramjan, and Mr. Wajdi Said.
