Who we are: Our Founders

We are a team of two brothers (Amin Aaser, 23 and Mohammed Aaser, 26) who aspire to help Muslim American Children build confidence in their faith. Amin and Mohammed grew up in Minneapolis, MN and understand the challenges we face in practicing our faith. What’s more, we believe that tools, such as this publication, will inspire our children to become leaders in the broader community and show that Islam is a peaceful and compassionate religion. Our mission is to engage a new generation of Muslim children in North America with Islamic knowledge, Muslim culture, and American integration through positive and playful Muslim American characters.
