Ebrahim College was established in 2003 as a Darul Uloom style seminary appropriate for the modern world. The aim was to benefit from the rigour and credibility of the traditional Darul Uloom and, where it was deemed beneficial, merge it with the best in modern curriculum development, pedagogy, technology and research.

Work of the College

• The ‘Alimiyyah Programme – a four-year, contextualised, multi-disciplinary, undergraduate level programme in Arabic, Shari’ah, Theology, and various aspects of the humanities
• The Dawrah al-Hadith Programme – a one-year masters level programme with an intense focus on Hadith according to the seminary tradition
• A postgraduate development programme for seminary graduates and imams and research centre for Islamic Research (CIRE).
• The College also runs up to 40 courses each term for adults of all ages covering all aspects of Islam and Muslim life. These courses run on-campus, online, and in the form of outreach based weekend intensives

Core values

While maintaining a traditional approach to learning the Islamic Sciences is the core value at Ebrahim College, we recognise the dynamics of western society and an ever-changing landscape. The aim is to educate Muslims to a level that they will be able to sufficiently serve their community as leaders and educate Muslims to a level that would allow them to live as upstanding Muslim citizens.

Vision

An institution renowned for courageous scholarship and leadership distinguished by Islamic ethics and piety, whose members strive for positive transformation in the world.

Mission

Ebrahim College will produce competent and exemplary leaders and scholars while firmly engaged in the pedagogical and academic development of the Islamic Sciences and related fields; and inspire as well as facilitate the fulfilment of the duty of Islamic learning for all.
