Our Mission & Vision
As-Suffa Institute is an educational establishment with a difference. Our aim is to convey the pure teachings of Islam through rigorous and traditional scholarship, by utilising modern teaching methods and creating a nurturing environment where students are supported to achieve their full potential. Our role and objective as an institute extend much further than the classroom. We are involved in many projects that seek to fulfil our Islamic obligation of serving all members of our community.
As-Suffa Outreach provides a number of programmes and support mechanisms to assist our community. Initially established in 2012 to meet the needs of the homeless community in Birmingham, what started as a ‘feeding the homeless’ service once a week, has now grown into a number of projects that function all across the United Kingdom.
