Ihsan Institute UK

the logo and motto of our life. Ihsan Insititute takes all these meanings into account and aims at:

1. Providing traditional Islamic knowledge to non-specialists who want to get proper Islamic knowledge or what is known as 'individual duty' to protect their selves and their souls from self-acclaimed scholars and self-appointed muftis and unqualified speakers. This route is not aimed to make the attendees scholars, but to have the proper knowledge to run their day-to-day life in compliance with the Islamic aim of perfection in everything.

2. Providing Islamic scholarship to serious knowledge seekers who want to specialise in Islamic studies and learn traditional knowledge in the same way it is taught in the world's famed Al-Azhar institutes and universities and the same way Islamic knowledge has been taught through centuries in the centres for learning in the Muslim world. However, IHSAN observes the context in which these students live and aims to qualify them to balance text and context.

3. Training Imams and Religious teachers who take leadership within the British Muslim community to raise the level of qualification and provide qualified religious leadership within the Muslim community that understands its reality as much as it understands its faith. It also aims at acquainting Imams coming from abroad with the new reality they are living in and reviving in them the core messages of Islam; moderation and balance.

4. Qualifying Qur'an teachers and students interested in studying Qur'an at a more academic and traditional level by providing a space for memorisation, and learning Tajwid and Qira'aat.

5. Providing short-term courses on important topics that interest Muslims in the
West in general; along with long-term courses for students who look for a more maintained and deeper understanding.

6. Providing consultancy on Muslim issues and introducing the genuine message of the Islamic faith and putting individuals and organisations in touch with the real scholarly organisations in an attempt to slam the door in the face of misrepresentation and stereotyping.

7. Inspiring young people to be proud and learn before speaking and save them from falling into the hands of extremists.
