As Suffah Academy was established in May 2019 to inculcate a better understanding and raise awareness of the beautiful teachings of Islam. We facilitate for all individuals young and old alike to better their understanding and practice of Islam. The academy currently offers a range of dīni services. We have a dedicated prayer hall for the five daily salāh, educational classes for children (maktab/madrasah), Qur’ān classes for adults, distribution of free authentic islamic literature, a masa’il service etc.
Our vision and goal is to expand our services to allow people from all walks of life to reconnect with their Creator.
