Aims and Objectives

To produce well-rounded students who are active in establishing Islam in themselves and those around them through a detailed Ilm & Tarbiyah course. The unique point of this course is that it takes the student by the hand through a structured course full of constant reminders to ensure dedication & commitment.

We seek to eliminate the problem of “Too many resources but I get nothing done”, “I really want to, but I can’t get going”, “I fizzle out fast”, “I have a problem completing anything”, “I have Madinah Book 1 on my shelf for years but haven’t finished it”, “I haven’t gone through the seerah even once” by providing a structured step-by-step course.

“I have Madinah Book 1 on my shelf for years but haven’t finished it and I haven’t gone through the Seerah even once.”
