We focus on companionship and place great emphasis on spirituality. Delivering the knowledge of Islam to you. That's what Safina Society is all about. We do this through live in-person classes as well as technology (check out our Multimedia page!). Our classes take place at the New Brunswick Islamic Center and are for all ages, from children,
to high schoolers, to converts, Arabic for all levels,
and a scholarship track. The Voyages program involves a Friday night lecture once a month at a different masajid throughout the country. History:
Safina Society was born as an idea in 2009 by Dr. Shadee Elmasry. A couple of weekend classes were given in the ensuing years, mostly in New Jersey. But only in 2012 did the New Brunswick Islamic Center agree to incubate Safina Society as an organization. In January 2013, we launched our local classes, which we continue to offer for various levels: scholarship, youth, & converts. In 2015, we began the Islamic History Series at ISCJ (the Islamic Society of Central Jersey), and also launched SafinaKids for children ages 4 & 5. In 2015, we also launched the Friday night traveling lecture program, which we call Safina Voyages. Keep an eye out for our latest initiative, SafinaQA, in which Dr. Elmasry answers questions which are then shared on various social media platforms (YouTube, Soundcloud, Podcast, & Instagram).
