Principal’s Introduction
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Jamiatul Ilm Wal Huda, the College of Islamic Knowledge and Guidance, was established in August 1997 for boys of age 11 years and over.
The Muslim community of the United Kingdom needs schools that provide a comprehensive, positive and inclusive understanding of Islam as well as secular education in a secure Islamic environment.
In response to this need, Jamiah was established through the acceptance and mercy of Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala and the gracious duaas and generosity of Muslim brothers and sisters across the country.
Since 1997, over 2000 students have studied at Jamiah with a current roll of approximately 450 boys. The majority of our students are local, however, many also come from other parts of the country. Also, previously we’ve had many students come from other countries such as Canada, Reunion and New Zealand.
Jamiah recognises that each young Muslim needs to strive to acquire knowledge in all aspects that affect mankind’s existence; from historical to contemporary, from academic to vocational, from pragmatic to dogmatic and from Islamic to secular. We want all young Muslims who study at Jamiah to have the self-esteem and confidence to play a positive and inclusive role in their communities, to be good Muslims and exemplary citizens.
I thank you for visiting our website and hope that you will remember Jamiah in your Duaas.
