Sacred education is a God given right of each person that begins prior to birth. The Micro Madrasa is an ambitious initiative that endeavors to nurture this innate birthright by facilitating the ultimate purpose of our existence, to know Allah (Swt) our Creator. Via the Micro Madrasa, the Trust will host and deploy internationally recognised, Islamic Scholars that will deliver necessary and assessable courses in the essential Islamic sciences, providing beneficial Islamic knowledge rooted in mainstream Sunni scholarship in a format that is relevant to Muslims living in the UK.

The Micro-Madrasa Initiative is both innovative and unique in the UK; whilst being an accessible and inclusive learning environment, open to all. The madrasa is a forum to offer Muslims, members of the prophetic community, a priceless opportunity to learn integral aspects of their deen, with the overall aim of engendering a sustained improvement of ones human condition.

Such learning naturally includes a basic knowledge of the book of Allah (SWT) and the traditions of His Messenger (Peace and blessings be upon him) as well as that which the scholars of the Prophetic Community have termed ‘what is known about this religion, by necessity’.

*Ustadh Ibrahim Osi-Efa

Ustadh Ibrahim Osi-Efa was born and raised in Liverpool, England. He was blessed with the opportunity to study several classical disciplines at the hands of some of the holders of the tradition such as Murabit al-Haj, al-Habib Umar b. Hafiz and Shaikh Hassan al-Hindi. Initially studying for three years in Syria and Mauritania, Ustâdh Ibrahim was then blessed with the opportunity to spend over six years in the illuminated city of Tarim, Hadramaut where he studied under the qualified hands of teachers such as al-Habib Kazim al-Saqqaf, al-Habib ‘Ali al-Jifri and al-Shaikh ‘Umar Husain al-Khatib. He was one of the founders of several Islamic initiatives including the Ibn Abbas Institute, Starlatch Press, Badr Language Institute and the Greensville Trust. He currently resides in Liverpool, England with his wife and two children.
