Amanah Institute was established in the heart of London in 2023.

We aim to provide students of knowledge with real opportunities to learn Arabic and Islamic Sciences, from the basics of Islam right the way through to advanced Islamic theological studies. We want to equip our students with authentic teachings of Islam through classical texts and sources, whilst establishing a real awareness of the modern, globalised world that we live in.

Our responsibilities are to support our students to practice the religion of Islam with love and confidence, and to produce the Scholars and Leaders of tomorrow through our unique, bespoke Arabic and Islamic Sciences Programmes. We humbly hope to follow and honour our rich Islamic heritage through the delivery of our services.

We deliver our courses online using contemporary IT platforms, providing a unique and interactive learning experience for our students, and allowing us to deliver our services to our local communities and to seekers of knowledge from around the world. Our services are open to our Muslim brothers and sisters equally.

Our vision and ethos are simple: we want every one of our students to Learn, then Teach others, thereby Inspire generations to come.
