For those of you who know me well, I need very little time to explain what the As-Suffa Institute is and what it means to me. But for those who don't know me as well I would just like to spend a bit of time explaining who As-Suffa are and why they are so important to me.
As-Suffa are an Islamic institute that specialises in disseminating traditional Islamic knowledge. As-Suffa currently has students that range from 4 years old to 40 years and serve them in a number of different capacities (A summary of how As-Suffa serves the community can be found below).
However, the reason why the As-Suffa institute is particularly special to me is due to the Islamic part-time course for adults, which I have now been attending for two and a half years. This course spans a total of eight years and is run in the evenings by highly qualified scholars. It teaches students the fundamental sciences of Islam such as: grammar, morphology, narrations of the Prophet (peace be upon him), the laws of Islam and the commentaries of the Noble Quran. The part-time course endeavors to equip their students with the tools to not only delve deep into the Islamic sciences, but also eventually teach the Islamic sciences. For many, such a course is a dream whereby people are able to carry out their full-time jobs or Education, whilst still studying the Islamic studies. However, for the people of Birmingham, thanks to Allah firstly and then As-Suffa, this is a reality.
In order to cater for the community and continued interest of people to study the Islamic sciences Alhamdulillah, As-Suffa recently acquired a new building within walking distance of the existing building in Aston, Birmingham. The building was formerly used by the local authority as offices and requires considerable amount of renovation work before it can be used by As-Suffa Institute to offer services to the Muslim community.
Over the past few months the As-Suffa Institute has been working towards developing a 10-year vision in order to shape the re-design of the new building to meet As-Suffa's needs and to diversify their services.
According to the current proposals the new building will be re-designed to allow:
· 10+ classrooms: As-Suffa's goal is to offer all courses to sisters and all rooms will be fitted with the latest technology to ensure full segregation is maintained without compromising students learning experience.
· Auditorium: a lecture-room style auditorium for the weekend intensive courses that will double up as a sports hall and a youth center.
· Meeting and Conference Room: dedicated meeting room to plan and manage meetings more effectively to collaborate with other institutes and offer the rooms to other local organisations.
· Two large offices: space for scholars to have a dedicated "staff" area to prepare course materials and complete administrative tasks.
As a non-profit organisation As-Suffa rely solely on donations from individuals like you, so please donate generously from your income for this noble cause. Money does not decrease by giving in charitable causes, but it is returned manifold in the Hereafter. By the grace of Allah, you can make a huge difference in educating our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters.
As Allah mentions in the Holy Qur'an:
“Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret and in public, have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.” [al-Baqarah, verse 274]
Narrated Abdullah Ibn Masood(R.A): I heard the Prophet (SAW) saying:
“There is no envy except in two: a person whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and a person whom Allah has given wisdom (i.e. religious knowledge) and he gives his decisions accordingly and teaches it to others.” [Sahih Muslim
ما سبب اجتهادي لمساعدة معهد الصفاء في جمع الموال
درست في معهد الصفاء منذ عامين ونصف في دراسه علوم الدين الاسلامي
مده المنهج ثماني اعوام
يعلم الطالب فيها نحو وصرف وفقه وتفصير وحديث
يعلم المنهج في المساء ليتفرغ الطالب لاعماله الدنياويه في اوقات النهار
وايضا في الصفاء توجد دراسه عالم في وقت كامل و حفظ القران ومكتبه خاصه للاطفال لتعليم علوم الين
منذ انشاء الصفاء اصبح الاقبال عليها يتزايد عام بعد عام
لهذه الاسباب كان من الازم توسع المركز ليستقبل هذه الزياداد الهاءله من الراغبيين في الدراسه
وهذا التوسع في المباني يتطلب اموال هاءله
فاانا بلنيابه عن مركز الصفاء اسالكم ان تساعدونا بقدر الامكان من الاموال
جميع الاموال تصرف بلكامل علي المركز لانه جهة ليست للربح ولاكن لعمل الخير وخدمه نمو الاسلام في بيرمينجهام
الر جاء التبرع بقدر الامكان جزاكم الله خيرا والسلام عليكم

How As-Suffa Serves the Community
As-Suffa Institute was primarily established to enrich the lives of the Muslim community by providing them with the appropriate means to acquire sacred knowledge. It was clear that many people with busy lifestyles had a desire to comprehensively study the Sacred Sciences but could not do so due to the absence of an Institute that catered for their specific learning needs. As-Suffa Institute recognised and endeavored to fulfill this requirement with the start of its first part-time class of the Alimiyyah course in 2004. Since then, by the Grace of Allah, As-Suffa Institute has been enrolling new Alimiyyah classes every year bar one.
Amongst the various obligations upon a Muslim community, one central task is the instilling of Islamic knowledge and Tarbiyya (inclusive development) in our children. By the Grace of The Most High, the Madrassa currently caters for approximately one hundred and fifty children between the ages of five and fourteen with classes becoming segregated at the age of seven. The classes are well structured and follow a practiced programme consisting of Tajweed (Qur’anic recitation), Hifzh (memorisation), Seerah (Life of Prophet Muhammad, Peace be Upon Him), and Akhlaaq (Moral Conduct). The ultimate objective of the As-Suffa Institute Madrassa is to nurture our youth with Islamic ideals leading to well-grounded, confident and knowledgeable individuals who can serve as leading Muslim role models in their communities and beyond.
