Masjid Ibrahim Maktab
Maktab [sometimes called doksi, makatib, madrasah] means ' place of learning'. Our maktab is inspired by the descent of Sayiduna Jibril [a.s.] with the revelation of Surah Al-Alaq, when the intial foundations of knowledge were laid and then natured over a period of some 23 years by Our Master [S.A.W.]. He [s.a.w.] insipired leaning and teaching through His universal utterence " I have been sent as a teacher ".
This legacy of knowledge & inspiration transcended time, just as it transcended gender, nationality and age; preserved by true scholarship in an unadulterated form. The masaajid & great institutions of the Islamic World served as the nucleus of this preservation.
Encouraged, endorsed & guided by local and foreign ’ulama from within Arab and Indian traditionalism, the vision of Masjid Ibrahim Maktab is to provide an avenue to authentic, qualified, Islamic knowledge at to every child, male & female, in a traditional yet professional manner using all the skills and means at our disposal.
The only way to remove the darkness of ignorance is through exposure to the light of knowledge as understood and accepted by generations of Muslims.
As a Muslim minority, it is imperative upon each one of us to ensure that we are in tune with the society around us whilst adorned with the lenses of a deep faith . Masjid Ibrahim Maktab through its various programs affords us this opportunity. May the Almighty grant us the strength to fulfill this great endeavor.
