Deen first. Then business. Every Thursday.
A weekly gathering of Muslim founders, professionals, and students in Dallas–Fort Worth. We eat together, take a short reminder, hear from someone who has built something real, open the floor for live Q&A, then share opportunities. Free, and open to brothers and sisters, students and owners.
The room, the food, the people.

A society for Muslims who build.
TME, The Muslim Entrepreneurs of DFW, started as the Muslim Entrepreneur Society: a few founders meeting weekly to talk business without leaving their deen at the door.
Today it’s a growing community across Dallas–Fort Worth, built on three things: the deen first, real experience over theory, and members who show up for each other.
- Weekly, in person, every Thursday
- Led by working founders and professionals
- Grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah
Every Thursday has the same shape: eat and meet, a short reminder, a talk from someone who built something real, then the floor opens.
Between sessions: an entrepreneur market, campus outreach, and introductions between members who can help each other.
- A talk and live Q&A every week
- Opportunity Corner: share an idea, a need, a deal, or a job
- Markets, mentorship, and sponsor partnerships
You don’t need a business to belong. If you’re building something, a company, a practice, a side project, or a career, you’re in the right room.
Brothers and sisters, students and seasoned owners. Come as you are.
- Founders and small-business owners
- Students and young professionals
- Investors, mentors, and sponsors who want to give back
- Every
- Thursday, 7:00 PM
- Where
- Dallas–Fort Worth. Members get the exact address each week.
Contact details are on their way. Until then, come say salaam on a Thursday.
Do I need to own a business to come?
No. Students, employees, freelancers, and people still deciding are all welcome. Most members started as guests.
Is it for sisters too?
Yes. Sisters have their own seating and a sisters’ coordinator on the team, and the whole program is for everyone.
What does it cost?
Nothing. Membership is free. Food and events are covered by the society and its sponsors.
How do check-ins and rewards work?
Two ways, whichever is easier. Scan the QR by the door and type your member ID or PIN — no account needed on your phone. Or, if you’re already logged in here, open Check-in and type the 6-digit code on the screen at the front. Four sessions unlock a special reward, and every session moves you up a badge: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum.
Can I speak, host, or sponsor?
Yes, and we’d love that. Use the contact details above or talk to any team member on a Thursday.

Tonight’s session
Scan the QR by the door, or type the code on the screen.
Your member card starts here.
Sign up once. Your 6-digit PIN is your login and your check-in: at the door, scan the QR and type it. It’s free.
Your card, with your own QR, appears here the moment you sign up.
Salaam
Give this to anyone you bring in. They type it when they sign up, it links them to you, and it counts toward your badges.

Who shows up, and who brings people.
Points come from showing up, bringing people in, and supporting TME. Names are shortened because this page is public.

- Referrals earn Connector at 1, Recruiter at 3, Pillar at 10.
- Supporting TME earns Supporter, Patron, or Benefactor.
- Points: 10 to sign up, 10 a session, 25 a referral, 50 a support tier.
The dashboard is for the TME team. Enter the team passcode.
Where TME stands.
Members scan this, then type their member ID or PIN. Only the highlighted card works. It moves to the next card every Thursday before doors, so a photo of last week’s is useless. Print all five once and bring the right one each week.

Everything the room sends lands here, and nowhere else. Push one to the screen and it appears in the live room.

Nothing here takes payments. Enter what a member gave and their badge follows: Supporter from $25, Patron from $250, Benefactor from $1,000. Entering 0 clears it.
For the table, the flyer, or a story post. It opens the sign-up page. It does not check anyone in — the rotating door QR under Tonight does that.
Paste into BCC or your email tool until sending is wired to the site.
Every member, check-in, lecture, poll and newsletter in one file. Keep it somewhere off this laptop — it is the copy that survives if the Cloudflare account ever does not. It leaves out the team passcode and the signing key on purpose.
Anyone with this passcode can open the dashboard from any phone. Change it any time.
