At Makkiyyah, we offer a wide range of programs that allow students to engage in scholarly study of Islam and develop spiritually
To illuminate the Ummah with the educational and spiritual inheritance of the Prophet Muhammad (S)
Makkiyyah Institute is a Tampa-based educational and spiritual organization founded in 2015 with the intention of providing much needed Islamic educational services to Muslim women and carrying on the sacred legacy of teaching the traditional Islamic sciences. Since then, we have expanded our scope to encompass classes for men as well and create accessibility for students across the US via our online platform. Our philosophy is provide a sincere and positive environment in which students may engage in the authentic academic study of Islam. The aims of Makkiyyah include:
Earn the Pleasure of Allah SWT
Earn the reward of teaching and seeking knowledge
Help students acquire the foundational scholarly tools needed to participate in high level academic studies and research
Help students achieve a foundational but sophisticated understanding of Islam
Equip students to propogate the Deen of Allah (SWT) and teach the Deen to others
Serve humanity
One of the most powerful ways to grow in Islam and get closer to Allah (SWT) is to seek knowledge.
وعن أبي أمامة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ”فضل العالم على العابد كفضلي على أدناكم” ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ”إن الله وملائكته وأهل السماوات والأرض حتى النملة في جحرها وحتى الحوت ليصلون على معلمي الناس الخير” ((رواه الترمذي وقال: حديث حسن. )).
Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “The superiority of the learned over the devout worshipper is like my superiority over the most inferior amongst you (in good deeds).” He went on to say, “Allah, His angels, the dwellers of the heaven and the earth, and even the ant in its hole and the fish (in water) supplicate in favour of those who teach people knowledge.”
