International Peace College South Africa - IPSA

IPSA HONOURED BY THE VISIT OF RENOWNED MAURITANIAN SCHOLAR

The International Peace College South Africa (IPSA) was honoured by a visit from renowned Mauritanian scholar Shaykh Muhammad al-Mishry.

The visit provided a meaningful opportunity for Shaykh al-Mishry to engage with the IPSA community and share from a scholarly tradition deeply rooted in Islamic learning.

For IPSA, welcoming scholars from different parts of the Muslim world strengthens the intellectual environment in which our students learn. It connects the classroom to living traditions of knowledge and creates opportunities for students to encounter scholarship through those who have dedicated their lives to its preservation and transmission.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Shaykh Muhammad al-Mishry for honouring IPSA with his presence and for the valuable engagement with our community.

IPSA VISITS SAVVY COLLEGE

The visit created an opportunity to introduce learners to IPSA’s academic programmes and the different study pathways available to them after completing school. More importantly, it opened a conversation about making informed decisions about their future and recognising the value of pursuing higher education.

We were encouraged by the learners’ enthusiasm, questions and interest in the opportunities available at IPSA.

IPSA EQUIPS STUDENTS FOR THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DA‘WAH

With Muslims forming a small minority of South Africa’s population, meaningful da‘wah requires more than good intentions. It requires knowledge, wisdom and the ability to engage people with understanding.

IPSA recently hosted a three-session Da‘wah Workshop for its students, facilitated by renowned international da‘ee, author and speaker Dr Naji Ibrahim.

Drawing on more than 35 years of experience in da‘wah, Dr Ibrahim engaged students on the principles and practice of communicating Islam effectively. The sessions challenged students to consider not only what they communicate about Islam, but how they communicate it within a diverse South African society.

The workshop forms part of IPSA’s commitment to developing graduates who can translate Islamic knowledge into meaningful service. Students were encouraged to recognise da‘wah as an amanah that demands sound knowledge, good character, wisdom and sensitivity to context.

As future scholars, educators and community leaders, our students must be equipped to carry the message of Islam with clarity and purpose.

IPSA ENCOURAGES ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP

The International Peace College South Africa (IPSA) recently hosted a voter registration initiative at its Rylands campus, encouraging eligible South Africans to exercise their civic responsibility and participate in shaping the future of our country.

IPSA students took the initiative to heart, with students registering to vote and taking an important step towards becoming active participants in South Africa’s democracy.

Representatives from the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) and the United Ulama Council of South Africa (UUCSA) were present to assist students and members of the public with voter registration and updating their voter information.

IPSA extends its appreciation to the IEC and UUCSA for supporting this important initiative and making voter registration services accessible to the community.

At IPSA, education extends beyond the classroom. It includes nurturing socially conscious citizens who understand their responsibility to contribute meaningfully to the society in which they live.

Your vote. Your voice. Your amanah.
