Help ground Muslim students in their faith

THE ISSUE

The Muslim Student Crisis

0
Muslim university students in the UK many of whom:

Question their beliefs in God

Do not practice

Have never connected to their faith

THE REASON

Why is there a crisis?

They don't have a safe space to ask questions to someone learned.

They are exposed to an influx of conflicting ideas and temptation.

Their avenues for religious learning are irrelevant, un-structured or impractical.

THE SOLUTION

OUR WORK

Our purpose is to enable university students to live God-centred lives. We are the first and only educational provider catering for this audience at scale with a comprehensive programme that aims to positively transform their lives.

The Essentials

The Essentials is a modular, transformative educational program designed to bring Muslim adults closer to their creator. The Essentials aspires to re-package fard ‘ayn (individually obligatory) knowledge in a way that provokes deep reflection and a transformation in both the mindset and behaviour of students.

Roots Retreat

Our Roots Retreat allows us to take Roots outside the classroom. We provide opportunities for spiritual growth, community building and a deeper understanding of Islam in a focused and immersive setting. We combine the unique Roots learning experience, with a range of outdoor activities, from archery to hikes, and competitions to campfires.

Firmly Rooted

Firmly Rooted is a podcast dedicated to delving deep into the experiences of Muslim students in university. Through relevant conversations with engaging speakers, we aim to uncover and explore the distinctive hurdles they confront, fostering a better understanding of their challenges within the university environment.
