Shaykh Ahmad Taha Rayyan

Our initiatives were only possible through the blessings and prayers of luminaries such as Shaykh Ahmad Taha Rayyan (May God have Mercy on his soul) who not only inspired this beautiful initiative, but fuelled the love to transmit this rich Prophetic Tradition.

"This Deen is a Blessing"

Our mission is to enable access to sacred knowledge through guided learning, retreats, and online programs, offering seekers the opportunity to learn, connect, and foster meaningful relationships (suhba), thus aiding them in achieving personal growth deeply grounded in our prophetic heritage.

Guided learning

We aim to make knowledge both accessible and meaningful, deeply rooted in traditional Islamic teachings. We strive to present the timeless wisdoms of our tradition in a way that's easy to understand and apply. Our approach simplifies complex ideas, ensuring that everyone, regardless of background, can grasp and benefit from the teachings. Guided by the principles of our faith, we aim to create a connection between the student the rich tradition behind the authors of the texts.

  • Study from Anywhere

    Although the ideal way of learning is in-person with teachers, our online platform allows students to still benefit despite their lifestyle demands. This is in following the saying, "Do not leave in part that which cannot be attained in full."

  • Access Traditional Sacred Texts

    Each of our teachers stand at the end of authentic chains of transmission (sanad) which gives students the grounding needed to access traditional knowledge in both depth and breadth.

  • Good Companionship (Suhba)

    The Islamic tradition has not only been transmitted through books, but also through hearts. Our yearly in-person gatherings aim to foster a deeper connection between students and their teachers and peers.
