Education

Excellence Academy

The Excellence Academy is a flagship Saturday program held every Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., designed to nurture and inspire the next generation of Muslim leaders. Each year, the academy welcomes around 50 students, both male and female, aged 11 to 15, who are enrolled from February until their graduation in November.

Inspiring and nurturing the next generation of responsible leaders

Throughout the year, students engage in a diverse curriculum tailored to their age and developmental stage. Core subjects include Palestine Studies, Teach Me Islam, and General Knowledge, complemented by interactive Halaqas (study circles). The program is further enriched by guest sessions delivered by distinguished speakers and professionals, who share their insights and experiences to broaden the students’ horizons. In addition to classroom learning, the academy organises outings to various parts of the island, along with engaging activities designed to build teamwork, character, and confidence.

Objectives

To cultivate future Muslim citizens and leaders who are firmly grounded in Islamic values and equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the challenges of the modern world. It also offers teenagers a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment during the weekends — a space where they can express themselves freely, strengthen their identity, and grow within an Islamic framework.

Free Distribution of Islamic Publications

As part of our ongoing efforts to spread authentic Islamic knowledge and provide accessible resources to the community, we regularly publish and freely distribute a wide range of books, leaflets, and stickers on various Islamic topics. These publications are available in Creole, French, and English, ensuring that they reach a broad audience and cater to different linguistic needs.

Our materials cover a diverse array of subjects designed to educate, inspire, and support the spiritual growth of readers. Some of the titles include:

• Dua: Weapon of a Believer

• Noble Ladies of Islam (available in French and English)

• Adhkar – Morning and Evening (available in French and English)

• Ash Shafi – Duas for Remedy

• Ten Good Deeds for the Last Ten Days of Ramadan

• Happiness: The Essence of a Believer

Objectives

Through this initiative, we aim to empower individuals with knowledge, strengthen their connection to faith, and encourage the practice of Islam in daily life. By making these resources freely available, we hope to remove barriers to learning and provide the community with valuable tools for spiritual development and understanding.

Women sessions

Free daily online and weekly face-to-face sessions exclusively for women — welcoming both new Muslims and sisters who wish to deepen their understanding of Islam. Around 40 women participate in them. The lessons focus on key areas of Islamic learning, including:

These gatherings serve as a nurturing space for spiritual growth, sisterhood, and the pursuit of knowledge in a comfortable and supportive environment.

Also, strengthening their spiritual foundation, support them in their journey as Muslim women, and help them lead lives filled with guidance, purpose, and inner peace.
