اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ “The purpose of Islamic education is not
to cram the pupil’s head with facts but to prepare them for a life of purity and
sincerity. This total commitment to character-building based on the ideals of
Islamic ethics is the highest goal of Islamic education.” (Al-Attas, 1979, p.
104) ILC has served the local and wider community since February 2012,
Masha’Allah. The School is a non-profit making organisation with over 100 pupils
and employs over 20 members of staff. The management team includes talented
individuals from the community who sacrifice their time for the betterment of
our future generations, community and purely for the sake of Allaah (awj). We
teach three core subjects; Qur’an, Islamic Studies and Qur’anic Arabic for 6 to
16+ year olds. We also have an Arabic wing dedicated to Arabic speaking
children. We strive to attain the highest possible standards within the school.
Staff work together with the pupils to ensure we achieve and maintain our goals.
Our main purpose is to please Allaah ﷻ and provide a high standard of Islamic
educational to our students. ILC aims to offer a happy and vibrant Islamic
environment for learning and helping to ignite the light of knowledge in the
hearts of all students. This is achieved through dedication and teamwork. It is
built on a foundation to please Allaah (awj) following His beloved Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) . We expect all teachers to interact and teach our students by
following the way that our Prophet did and to adhere to our key values. Our
beloved Prophet taught, dealt and interacted with children in such a way that
many of them grew up to be outstanding companions and model Muslims. He taught
us that in order to nurture Imaan in our children; we must first build the
foundation blocks.
