The Islamic Scholars Council of California (ISCC) has been formed to serve the socio-religious needs of the Muslims and their communities in California. The organization is formed to bring together scholars who have studied in and graduated from traditional seminaries and universities around the world.

Allah Most High says, “Are those who know equal to those who know not? It is only men of understanding who will remember” (Holy Qur’an 39:9).

Allah Most High says, “Ask the people of the Remembrance if you do know not” (Qur’an 16:43).

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, “Verily the ‘ulama (scholars) are the heirs of the prophets. The prophets do not leave behind gold nor silver; they only leave behind religious knowledge” (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ibn Maja).
