Ajwah Academy is an Islamic institution that provides a fresh approach to learning the Holy Qur’aan, Arabic and Islamic Studies for children and adults in an encouraging and vibrant environment.http://www.ajwahacademy.co.uk/ This is due to the fact that amongst all the existing dates, “Ajwah” is famously known as the best one. The Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi Wasallam) said,
“Ajwah da
tes are from paradise.” 1
Furthermore, “Ajwah” date is cultivated in one of the most honourable city of Madinah Munawwarah from which Al-Islam has spread all over the world. Many virtues in regards to “Ajwah” have been narrated in the authentic sayings of our beloved prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). 2
In this regard, is it incumbent on the seeker of knowledge to select from where they acquire knowledge. In this connection, Muhammad Ibn Sereen(rahimahullah)stated that:
إن هذا العلم دين ، فانظروا عمن تأخذوا دينكم
“This knowledge is a matter of deen, so be careful who you take your deen from.”
Furthermore, since “Ajwah” is known as a cure against poison and magic, the acquired Islamic knowledge at “Ajwah Academy” should be insha Allah a cure for all spiritual diseases within ourselves and also to purify our actions from impurities and innovation (bid’a). Ajwah Academy is aware that the vast majority of people have full time commitments ranging from fulltime daily occupations, studies and family life. Therefore, based on these factors which might cause a hindrance to our moral and spiritual development, we at Ajwah Academy, endeavour to bring a flexible approach to teaching and learning at different levels and age groups, at a convenient time and place which suite your daily commitments.
