As-Suffa Institute is committed to serving the immediate and wider community through the application of traditional Islamic knowledge to contemporary society. As-Suffa Institute strives for the development of today and tomorrow, motivated by the changes that need to be made and the responsibility of reviving the unsurpassed example that the Prophet (Peace be Upon Him) and his companions (May Allah be Pleased With Them) left for mankind.

 

In order to reach this aim, As-Suffa Institute adheres to five driving objectives that are reflected in all of its actions and agendas:

• To revive Islamic knowledge within the community.
• To create unity amongst the Muslim community.
• To instill the importance of Khidma (service to others) to benefit humanity.
• To represent each and every member of the community.
• To promote inter-faith relationships for the good of mankind.

The realisation of these aims can only be achieved through the Help and Grace of Allah, and then by the continued support and encouragement of the community.

As-Suffa Institute was primarily established to enrich the lives of the Muslim community by providing them with the appropriate means to acquire sacred knowledge. It was clear that many people with busy lifestyles had a desire to comprehensively study the Sacred Sciences but could not do so due to the absence of an Institute that catered for their specific learning needs. As-Suffa Institute recognised and endeavoured to fulfil this requirement with the start of its first part-time class of the Alimiyyah course in 2004. Since then, by the Grace of Allah, As-Suffa Institute has been enrolling new Alimiyyah classes every year bar one.
