From the Desk of the 10th Illustrious Potentate

Welcome to Al Tariq Temple No. 245. We are committed to visible service—supporting youth, strengthening families, and showing up for our community through consistent outreach. Our work is grounded in brotherhood and guided by a simple promise: we will help others while building one another up.
​
This year, we are expanding our impact through mentorship, scholarship support, and community service initiatives across Cobb County and the Metro Atlanta area. Whether you’re visiting to learn, partner with us, or support our mission, thank you for being here—and thank you for standing with Al Tariq as we continue putting service into action.

— Noble Leon Washington, 10th Illustrious Potentate

We Are Active In Our Communities

Service

We show up with hands-on support—mentorship, outreach, and practical help that strengthens families and lifts neighborhoods. Real service creates real change people can feel.​

Community Events

Our events bring people together with purpose—connection, resources, and shared pride. When the community gathers, relationships grow and momentum follows.

Parades

We bring the energy—smiles, cheers, and a sense of unity that lasts beyond the route. Joy builds community spirit, and that positive feeling carries forward.
