HISTORY

The revival of Islam in our homes, our schools and our communities is necessary for the success of Muslims in this life and the next. Alhamdulillah, many Muslims in this country understand this and are striving to educate themselves and their children about Islam. Inshallah, with their efforts the children will be able to do great dawah work in this country and carry out the mission of our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Nida-ul-Islam is an organization that has been striving for this very goal for more than a decade. Its prime objective is to learn and teach Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims alike, thus forming an Islamic community. Ten years ago, Nida-ul-Islam purchased land in Teaneck, NJ to build an Islamic Center. Due to unjust legal problems brought up by the town and state, efforts to complete the project were stalled for a number of years. Even though they did not have a masjid, its members still rigorously tried to educate themselves and the Muslim youth of this community about Islam. Over the years, Nida-ul-Islam held classes for Islamic studies and organized ijtamas, conferences, and fairs. Alhumdulillah, due to their efforts an Islamic awareness has developed among the people of the community, particularly the youth, many of who have gone on to further educate themselves about Islam. Students have studied various Islamic sciences as well as the Arabic language.

To date, Nida-Ul-Islam’s Full-Time Islamic School, The Academy of Saut-ul-Furqan (the voice of the Quran) has produced over 60 huffaaz and 11 Alimahs who are proactively serving their communities. Along with memorization of the Quran, the Hifz program’s curriculum consists of courses in tajweed (pronunciation of Arabic letters), qiraat (manners of reading the Quran), and basic fiqh.
