Madrasa-Tul-Falaah is an Islamic institution of learning and renowned Centre of oriental and Islamic studies in Kibra. The institution was established under the Societies Act of Kenya and has continued to be operational to date while running various projects in kibra among them being the Madrasa-Tul-Falaah, a learning centre that attracts children from around Kibra and a historical and cultural centre for the Nubians and Muslims from Kibra.
The rationale behind the establishment of the institution was to serve as a centre for repository of Islamic religious knowledge to the local members in kibra. The institution has continued to serve the educational needs of the members of the community while attracting currently 400 students who visit the institution for Islamic studies.
In the recent past, to boost and promote Islamic education in Kibra, Madrsa-Tul-falaah has been in the forefront of benchmarking with well established institutions such as Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt. Through this partnership the institution has managed to have some of its students proceed to Egypt to further their Islamic studies.
Many of the local members of the community including community renowned scholars and established individuals from the slums of kibra have been beneficiaries of the institution’s knowledge proceeds. To a larger extent, the institution has shaped the moral fabrics and leveraged on the accepted Islamic moral standards to many youths and the elderly in the community.
The existence of Madrasa-Tul-Falaah from its inception has remained to be a pillar of inspiration to the many mushrooming Islamic learning centers that continue to propagate Islamic teachings within and outside the community. The institution remains a historical site for the Nubian community.
