Exceptional youth deserve exceptional education. Become a pioneer contributor to a full scholarship for one international student of high potential.


Welcome to Siraj Institute. Our mission is to revive the true and authentic model of Islamic education that was taught by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. We pair teaching with nurturing. We provide students with real apprenticeship opportunities under world-class experts, and develop their skills to excel in community engagement.

The Propht Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not add Quran and some Islamic stories on top of fully built secular education. Rather, he was an exemplary teacher that transformed people's lives, who changed the entire world for the better. 

We believe that Education must not settle for mediocrity. The prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 

"Indeed, God loves that when one of you does something, they perfect it." 

Case in point: this quote by the Prophet Muhammad is an example of teaching by doing. The sentence itself of perfect eloquence, as it can mean to perfect the process, or to render a perfect outcome! We're on a mission to bring excellent and perfection back into education.

Since inception we have bound ourselves to the same standards of education that are offered by the top universities and academic institutions worldwide. 

Our unique approach involves a unique mentorship program where we invest ample time and dedication to each one of our students. We believe in the power of experiential learning, and encourage our students to be curious and courageous. Our teachers guide students through hypothetical scenarios and real-life situations, allowing them to apply what they have learned in a practical setting.

We understand the challenges that come with financing quality education, and the burden that tuition fees can place on students. 

At Siraj Institute, we believe there's a shared responsibility among every community to help our brightest young people get the best education they deserve. That is why we have created an admission policy to both our highschool and college programs where students are accepted based on merit, regardless of financial situation. This boosts the quality of our education, allows our students to engage with deep learning with their exceptional peers, without anyone suffering the financial stress, and without turning it to a school of elite families. With your donation we can keep creating the opportunity for brightest youth from around the world to get to their potential.

But we cannot do it alone, and this is not our duty alone - if it takes a village to raise a child, then it takes an ummah to raise its future imams, and the whole world to raise its future leaders. Our endowment goal is to build 1000 young men and women from all over the world of exceptional merit over the next 25 years, inshaAllah. Let us start today with one

With your support this Giving Tuesday, we aspire to raise to award our first full scholarships for a young man or women of exceptional potential from Gaza to come to Canada and get the education they are worthy of, to become the champion their community needs; this world needs, in the area of expertise that fits them best. 

Join us today in fulfilling our collective responsibility to invest in the education and development of the next generation. 

All proceeds on this Giving Tuesday will go towards to a long-term endowment that will continue to create scholarships for decades to come. Donate now to support our mission and let us transform our world to be more resilient, more united, and more blessed… One community at a time.

Can the 28th be an odd night?

Did you know that tonight 28th is actually an is an odd night according to authentic hadeeth in Sahih Muslim?


The Prophet said: "It may be the 3rd last night."  

Abu Saeed Alkhoudri explained that if the month is 30 days: "after 27 days, the following night which is the 28th is the third remaining."


Don't give up the momentum! 


Follow our livestream tonight for Taraweeh, Tahajjud, and Fajr

And donate, even $3 tonight, it may be Laylatul Qadr!

The Good Night

Asalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatulaahi wa Barakatuh 
 

We made it! We offered our duas and spent the night worshipping, and now we have to finish Ramadan strong


Remember that tonight may be Laylatul Qadr, it could still come tomorrow! 


We stop and reflect on how so many of our brothers and sisters are not able, through many reasons and restrictions, to offer the salah with the ease and peace that we do. May Allah rescue them and give them success in this and the next life, Ameen


May Allah bless you and reward you for every second of your worship and work with your family and community. May Allah allow you to continue your good deeds and great habits the entire year after Ramadan. 


As for now, we still need your support. Our students do not need a financial barrier when they begin their studies with us. 

And it’s about time that the Muslim communities in North America raised their own imams. 


We need your support to make it happen by the will and permission of Allah.

Donate below, and may Allah accept it amongst all your other good deeds this month.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED double donations until March 27

Assalamu alaikum,


We have some great news, but time is of the essence!


Launchgood just approved boosting our campaign for five days. Every dollar donated to our campaign will be matched 50% by Launchgood themselves and 50% by local generous donors in Ottawa. 


The target is $15,000


If we raise 15k by March 27th, we will receive an additional 15k as a direct cause of your donation!


Why do they do that?


To ensure they put their money in impactful projects, international donors request to see local engagement before committing their fund. It is a very effective method to ensure they are donating to projects that have a real impactful effect on their local community. 


So, can we count on you to show them our impact?!


Please spread the message and help us raise $15,000 by March 27th


You have donated before, jazakum Allah khayran. But as a reminder, here's the shortcut link to donate:
