An Islamic Education And Dawa Center in Uganda



Our Dream

Our dream was to build a Dawa training center which aims to serve the east African region, in which new Muslims are trained on how to present Islam in a friendly atmosphere, as well as on how to make a living and be self dependent.


In 2007, we bought a land of 2000 sq. meter, then in 2016 we bought an additional 4475 sq. meter, so the total area -by the grace of Allah- became 6475 sq. meters. 

The land is 15 Km away from kampala city center (the capital of Uganda)

The dream was to build a compound which includes:

1- A Mosque: a mosque with a capacity of 220 worshippers.

2- A Dormitory: which accommodates 200 trainees and attached to it is a small building for the toilets and shower facility.


3- ِAn Academy: which consists of a main lecture hall and 4 classrooms for studying Islamic sciences like: fiqh, tafseer, Quranic sciences, Seerah etc as well as Bridges dawa courses like: Presentation and public speaking skills as well as refuting misconceptions workshops.

4- A Vocational Training Center: Six warehouses for training the new Muslims various professions like: carpentry, welding, car repair, phones and electronics repair, web design etc...

5- Vehicles for Dawa: Our du'at, travel frequently to other east African countries like Rwanda, Zambia, Burundi, Tanzania, Congo DRC and Kenya. We always rent cars and vans for these Dawa trips, but 50% of the travel costs can be saved by purchasing a 4x4 vehicle.
Also costs can be cut dramatically if we purchase a van for the transportation of new Muslims from the city to the center and to transport daily purchased material and food.

Bridges Uganda Goals

Bridges of understanding Uganda is officially registered and serves to spread the peaceful Islamic teachings and call people to the religion of Islam through presenting its true image, as a religion of tolerance and love.
We believe that Islam deserves more work to spread its true message among both, Muslims and non-Muslims.

FAQ


What are the numbers of new muslims whom Allah guided through Bridges of understanding?
By the grace of Allah, we lost count a long time ago, but it is several hundreds every month, which means several thousands every year.

Why are you planning to build a vocational training center?
We believe that every Muslim should be balanced and self dependent. Therefore besides learning Islamic sciences and Dawa training workshops, the new Muslim should learn a profession like car repair, web-design, welding, carpentry etc.
