What we are for
The madrasah is where a civilisation is formed.
Madani Institute was founded in 2010 and is administered under Muhaddith-e-Azam Mission, established by Hazrat Shaykh al-Islam, Allama Mufti Sayyid Madani Ashrafi al-Jilani, and named for his father, Hazrat Shaykh Abu’l Muhamid Sayyid Muhammad, Muhaddith-e-Kichowchawi. It is now recognised as a leading Ahl us-Sunnah Islamic education centre in Preston.
Love for the Beloved ﷺ is the essence of our tradition, and the greatest way to reach it is to emulate him: children who can read what was revealed to him, understand what he taught, and walk as he walked.
Our students will know what they believe, why they believe it, and how to practise it. Rather than abandoning parts of the tradition — Ilm al-Kalam, Mantiq and the other sciences — we preserve and teach them.
The tradition has always insisted that adab is prior to knowledge. We assess character with the same seriousness as memorisation.
What is taught in the madrasah must not be left in it. What is taught in under two hours a day must shape all twenty-four.
We are not in nineteenth-century rural India. We are in twenty-first-century Britain, with its own challenges. We face them head on.
