Aims and Objectives

To provide students with a broad and balanced education in a caring, safe and well-ordered Islamic environment for children to develop their academic skills and Islamic values in order to practice Islam with God-consciousness and sincerity.

History

Al-Hujjat Study Centre started over 10 years ago in our Razavi Community Centre. It was a very small family run madrasah initially and grew substantially over the years. The madrasah catered to a vast group of diverse members of the Shia faith, from various parts of the world. The madrasah has a history of being a close community with diversity and has always catered to the needs of the community while delivering an Islamic education at the madrasah. This has instilled a strong diverse culture, tolerance, and a learning tool of how Islam brings people from different backgrounds together.

Alhamdulilah, today, we have past graduate students as teachers, volunteers, and many others who volunteer their time in various capacities at the madrasah is the strong community and family connection still exists to date.

Today, Mashallah, the Al-Hujjat Study Centre has over 80 students and continues to grow rapidly.
