Picture this: One of our founding members set out on a meaningful journey, visiting Islamic societies in 25 prestigious UK universities.
What they found was eye-opening.
While these societies buzzed with events and activities, something vital was missing. The unshakable core of faith seemed shallow, easily swayed by life’s challenges – whether financial stress, worldly temptations, or tough times.
And so, a concept took root – to plant seeds and nurture strong roots.
Deep within you lies a natural inclination – the fitrah – an inner call to connect with Allah. Our commitment revolves around nurturing this instinct, cultivating roots that run deep and strong, able to withstand uncertainty.
Allah says in the Quran:
Do you not see how Allah compares a good word to a good tree? Its root is firm and its branches reach the sky. [14:24]
Allah likens the Iman of a believer to a tree that is deeply rooted in the ground, and its fruit and branches are far reaching.
Our goal is to strengthen your foundations, allowing you to reap the abundant fruits of this tree of faith. Our focus is UK university students – a national effort to nurture unwavering, profound faith.
Welcome to Roots Academy, where faith finds its foundation.
