In 2011, a vision was born in Michigan to create a unique educational environment for the children in our community. We saw an opportunity to establish a place where students could excel academically while connecting deeply with their Islamic heritage.

​

We envisioned a school where the curriculum would not only challenge students academically but also provide a rich foundation in Islamic studies. We set out to offer a comprehensive education that includes Tafseer, Seerah, Aqeedah, Hadith, Uloom, History, and other essential subjects, all while maintaining a strong focus on core academic areas. Our goal was to create a balanced approach to Taleem (education) and Tarbiyah (nurturing), fostering both intellectual and spiritual growth.​

​

From the start, we believed that learning should extend beyond the classroom. Our curriculum includes public speaking and community service, encouraging students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings and develop a sense of responsibility towards their community.

​​

Our core values are rooted in the belief that adab (manners) takes precedence over ilm (knowledge). We strive to create a space where all Sunnahs can be taught and practiced. We instill in our students the understanding that Allah grants success in both Deen (religion) and Dunya (worldly life), and that He bestows the best of both this world and the Aakhirah (Hereafter).

​

Our well-rounded program also emphasizes Quran memorization and Arabic studies, helping students forge a strong connection to Islamic traditions while equipping them with valuable skills for the future. Through this holistic approach, we aim to nurture confident, knowledgeable, and compassionate individuals who are ready to make a positive impact in the world.

​

This is our story, dedicated to providing a complete educational experience that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit of every child who walks through our doors.
