The Madrassah
The aim of our madrassah is to serve the local Muslim community and provide our children with knowledge of our religion based solely on the Quran and the Sunnah.
Our aim is to educate and prepare the younger generation of this Ummah through knowledge, wisdom, good morals and manners.
We also aim to ensure that every student develops his Islamic character and becomes a positive role model in society. In order to aspire to this we foster a spirit of personnel development through the teachings of our Prophet Mohammed (SAW).
The Syllabus
