Islamic education does not mean adding Quran literacy and some Islamic stories on top of fully built secular education. Rather, it is about profound tarbiyah - nurturing - and ta'leem - teaching our students in a way that helps them become upright Muslims. 

Welcome to Siraj Institute. For the past seven years, we have been preparing for a revolution in Islamic education. Our mission is to revive the true and authentic model of Islamic education that was taught by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. We pair Islamic teaching with nurturing. We provide students with real Fiqh apprenticeship opportunities under world-class scholars, and develop their skills to excel in community engagement.

We believe that Islamic Education must not settle for mediocrity. Since inception we have bound ourselves to the same standards of education that are offered by the top universities and academic institutions in North America. 

Our unique approach involves a comprehensive education in all Islamic sciences, covering subjects from Islamic History, Arabic language and arts, Fiqh (Jurisprudence) and Tafseer (Exegesis), to contemporary applications in leadership and reconciliation, with a unique mentorship program where we invest ample time and dedication to each one of our students. We believe in the power of experiential learning, and encourage our students to be curious and courageous. Our teachers guide students through hypothetical scenarios and real-life situations, allowing them to apply what they have learned in a practical setting.

We understand the challenges that come with financing Islamic education, and the burden that tuition fees can place on students. At Siraj Institute, we believe in the importance of investing time, not just money. That is why we have created an admission policy where every one of our students receives a full-time scholarship. This allowed our students to focus on their studies without the added financial stress, while creating the opportunity for the Ummah to support one another to build its leaders.

But we cannot do it alone, and this is not our duty alone - if it takes a village to raise a child, then it takes an ummah to raise its leaders. Our endowment goal is to develop 1000 imams, scholars and leaders (both men and women) over the next 25 years, inshallah. With your support, we can develop much needed role models who will inspire change and mobilize communities for the better.

Together, we can restore the glory of Islamic education and create a brighter future for our community. Join us today in fulfilling our collective responsibility to invest in the education and development of the next generation. 

100% of proceeds will go to a long-term endowment that will continue to create scholarships for decades to come. Donate now to support our mission and let us transform our Muslim community to be more resilient, more united, and more blessed.
