ISNAD 2017/18

Islamic Sciences of Nurturing and Development
Aiming to lead communities in Islamic education and learning which is up-to-date, acclimatised to the modern world, transformational, yet infused with the rich values of our tradition.

We are committed to the propagation and dissemination of authentic and traditional Islamic knowledge, whilst also aiming to create opportunities and tackle issues of disadvantage and exclusion, in order to strengthen our local and wider communities.

Course Programmes

This year we have introduced three new programmes of study for students on different levels.
Foundation Level 1   •   Foundation Level 2   •   Intermediate

Foundation Level 1


This introductory year of Islamic studies covers the basic subjects; Aqeedah (Beliefs), Fiqh (Legal Rulings), Seerah (Prophet Biography) alongside learning about spiritual growth and basic etiquettes. We aim to equip students with the obligatory knowledge needed to practice their faith, with confidence, on a day to day basis. We are happy to announce we have added Islamic history in order to reflect over the history that brought us here today. We will also be looking at some short Surahs of the Noble Quran.

Our aim is to facilitate the study of Sacred Knowledge in a traditional way, giving students the opportunity to benefit from the company and instruction of teachers with a chain of transmission linking back to our noble Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

ISNAD Institute has been a priceless, humbling experience which made me realise how little i knew. You leave every class feeling uplifted and that little bit closer to Allāh and His Beloved (pbuh) - which is our ultimate aim in life. Level One Islamic Sciences is the ideal stepping stone onto further studies. It gives you the ability and confidence to take control of your life and make informed decisions.

I am 46 years old, and have read Quran so many years, attending different places to learn  tajweed. Since last October, I have learnt so much. Ustadha is such an amazing teache, Ma Sha'Allah she concentrates on each person, giving them improvements. I would always look forward to lesson on Tuesdays and I love how she teaches the lesson. I even recommended my daughter to join the lesson and she loved it.

This is an exceptional course. Information is given that is applicable to daily life and living and that can be used in everyday life. It enlightened me spiritually and drew me closer to my religion. Unfortunately, Islamic teachers can be often intimidating and unapproachable. This was not the case at ISNAD, it's a friendly environment.

His Eminence Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi

Our Patron

We are delighted that Shaykh Muhammad chose to be the patron of ISNAD Institute.
As a perspicacious scholar with decades of experience in the areas of education and spiritual mentoring, his valuable support, insight, and supplications help us ensure that people across the UK receive a relevant, contexulised, and authentic understanding of Islam and Islamic scholarship.

In 2016, our teachers consulted with Shaykh Muhammad and presented a preliminary structure of courses which would help people grow both intellectually and spiritually. After making the requested changes, ISNAD's curriculum and methodology was approved by Shaykh Muhammad.
