All praise is due to Allah (subhanhu wa ta’ala) the Creator and Sustainers of the universe, and blessing upon His last beloved prophet, Muhammad (sallalahu alayhi wa salam). May Allah (s.w.t.) raise the status of our beloved prophet and his companions and protect his Ummah (nation) from that which he fears for it.

It cannot be denied that the protection and advancement of the Muslim Ummah co-relates with the practice of the Deen “ISLAM”. A glance at the Muslim Ummah of today shows how far the Ummah has drifted from the original teachings of Islam.
Islamic education is not about learning Islam, but is a unique system of education, in which students acquire knowledge in various disciplines (Arts, Science, Humanities, Mathematics and Human Psychology).

There are several thousand Muslims in Australia and rapidly growing Muslim populations in the western countries. Yet, there are no accredited academic institutions capable of training students in the varied sciences of Islam, while also implanting in them a sophisticated understanding of the intellectual history and culture of the West. Clearly, there is an essential need for Muslim institutions that can join Islam’s classical texts with the contemporary context.

This present condition has led to two deplorable situations. First, there are very few Muslim scholars who can meet the religious and pastoral needs of a rapidly growing Muslim community in the West. Second, much of our younger generation has become alienated from the mosque and from religious culture.

From Vision to Reality

Since its founding by Sahibzada Hafiz Muhammad Abdul Wahid in 1999, Tayyiba Institute has been attempting to address these issues through a variety of educational programs. Tayyiba’s 
vision has always been to create a lasting institution of higher learning. To that end, we launched a 2 years foundation diploma in (Islamic sciences) program in 2003 that graduated 4 students in 2006.

Future Program

Based on our experience with the experimental program, we are planning to establish the first accredited Muslim institute in Australia.
Tayyiba Institute will function at a level comparable to the best of religious college and general institutions of higher education in Australia. We have carefully designed a rigorous curriculum in Islamic Studies and Arabic, as well as in the humanities and social sciences, so our students can confidently navigate the cultural, political, and intellectual currents that are shaping our world.

We are also planning to seek accreditation from accrediting bodies in Australia, as well as recognition from major educational institutions in the Muslim world

Tayyiba wants to produce scholars who understand the specific needs of contemporary societies. God willing, Tayyiba Institute will prepare students for a meaningful life as compassionate, productive, and educated citizens of the global community who understand Islam as a living, viable, and relevant faith, and who represent that faith with dignity, wisdom, and honor.

Our beloved Prophet (s.a.w.) propagated the final message of Allah (s.w.t.) to mankind and developed his unassuming companions into the most vibrant Ummah that changed and civilized the whole of humanity. The Tayiba institute seeks to recreate the same spiritual ambience in its students by imparting the knowledge of Islam and to develop them to be the torch bearers of the Ummah.
