In 2017 Al-Madina Institute launched the exciting Suhba Fellowship Program directed by renowned Scholar Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui in historic Istanbul, Turkey.

The Suhba Fellowship Program is a one year fully immersive spiritual intensive catering to the Muslim family (members of all ages) and beginning and advanced seekers. The curriculum consists of a full-time immersive Arabic program headed by Dr. Ahmed Snobar. The students also have a 2 hour daily class with Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui on various Islamic Sciences (Tazkiyah, Usul ul-Fiqh, Seerah, Hadith, Quranic Exegesis, Fiqh and more).

As a collective community we have built our institutions and organizations mashAllah. Now is the time to invest in the people who will occupy our beautiful spaces and lead our organizations. Now is the time to invest in the men, women and families that lead our dynamic communities by granting them access to sound scholarship, full time immersive study, and a peaceful environment conducive to spiritual reflection.

Help us raise $350,000 through the giving of Zakat to continue supporting students of knowledge, scholars, and the disseminating of Islamic Education.
