  • Zaytuna College Islam has never become rooted in a particular land until that land began producing its own religious scholars. There are several million Muslims in the United States and rapidly growing Muslim populations in Canada, Great Britain, and Western Europe. Yet, there are no accredited academic institutions capable of training students in the varied sciences of Islam, while also instilling in them a sophisticated understanding of the intellectual history and culture of the West. Clearly, there is an essential need for Muslim institutions that can wed Islam’s classical texts with the contemporary context.
  • The Quba Institute of Arabic and Islamic Studies is a corollary of the International Muslim Brotherhood, Inc. The International Muslim Brotherhood was established in 1949.

  • Al-Asr Institute At Al Asr Institute, we realize that ignorance is the greatest impediment to the religious advancement of our community. Treating ignorance as the root cause of strains between peoples and cultures, Al-Asr seeks to bridge the gaps in our community with knowledge. Attaining understanding in the religious sciences is best achieved when one learns at the hands of those who have studied with scholars, whose qualifications are traced through a chain of transmission all the way back to our liege lord Muhammad peace and blessings be upon Him. It is the beauty and depth of this tradition that Al-Asr intends to present.
