Zaytuna College

Dr. Ali Ataie, Dean of Undergraduate Studies at Zaytuna College, made his first official visit to the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) during the first weekend of June. He gave insightful talks and engaged with eager learners and community leaders in Toronto, Scarborough, Brampton, Vaughan, and Mississauga. He covered a wide range of topics including Prophets Ibrahim, Issa, and Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon them, through the lens of Abrahamic traditions; the importance of cultivating natural intelligence; and how to nurture faith and character in education.

Several community members expressed deep appreciation for Dr. Ataie’s knowledge and expertise in comparative theology and requested more future seminars. Parents and educators alike were very impressed by Zaytuna College’s unique approach to education which cultivates the timeless values of truth, goodness, and beauty.

Special thanks to the Islamic Institute of Toronto, ISNA Canada, Masjid Vaughan, Muslim Parents Association for Independent Schools, and our dedicated volunteers who co-hosted and organized a very impactful visit.

“Calligraphy is visual dhikr,” says Ustadha Aishah Holland, Zaytuna’s summer resident scholar of calligraphy.

This summer, join us for Thuluth: Letter by Letter, a daylong workshop introducing students to one of the oldest and most well-known classical scripts.

Designed for beginning and intermediate-level students ages twelve and above, the workshop will review the tools of calligraphy and invite participants to slow down, practice patience, and experience the discipline of the pen.

Workshops will be offered on July 11 and July 18. Registration is limited, and only a few spots remain.

We welcome our incoming students and rising sophomores to a summer of study at Zaytuna College.

Over the coming weeks, students will devote themselves to the Arabic language, deepening their encounter with the divine language of the Qur’an through focused study, disciplined routines, and campus life.

Ibn Ata Allah, may God have mercy on him, said, “Among the signs of success at the end is turning to God at the beginning.”

May this summer be a blessed beginning for our students, and may their intentions be purified, their studies made fruitful, and their paths illuminated, inshallah.
