Our Aims
We believe our communities can only flourish and be protected
from the ills of wider society through promoting authentic
Islamic education rooted in the highest tradition of scholarship
and this means making learning accessible and relevant to
Muslims living in contemporary Britain. Our aims are to:

[1] To establish traditionally inspired contemporary
educational institutions that teach the essential sciences of
Islam through the employment of highly qualified teachers
[2] To provide financial and administrative support to UKbased students seeking to attain sacred knowledge in order
to nurture home grown teachers of the tradition
[3] To develop a wide range of religious and educational
materials in the English language that assist in the
education of Muslims in Britain

Our Strategyis to maximise impact and widen the circle of
benefit to encompass whole communities. All our students are
therefore encouraged to reach out and engage with the peopleof their own localities through teaching and lending support to
any community based initiative that promotes morality and
good practice; once again the principle of knowledge rooted in
practice.

Our Approach: As we hold a conviction that sacred
education is a birthright that begins before birth, our
approach to education is not limited to a particular age
group education really is about life long learning from the
cradle to the grave. We also recognise the central role of
parents in their childrens education so one of our priorities
is the establishment of a nursery facility that joins up early
years education with parenting training and support.
