Syria Madrasah Education Programme

Syria Madrasah Education Programme

By supporting these children, you're not only helping them learn but also restoring hope after years of conflict.

In Islam, seeking knowledge is not only a right but a duty. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim." For children who have known nothing but conflict, the opportunity to learn is a path to dignity, hope, and a brighter future.

The Syria Madrasah Education Programme supports 22 Maktab (Islamic school) classes across Damascus, providing over 500 children with Quranic education, Arabic literacy, and Islamic studies – restoring the learning they lost to years of devastating conflict.

Your donation, delivered as educational support, will enable children across Syria to rebuild their futures through Islamic knowledge, becoming beacons of light in their communities, inshaa'Allah.

A Critical Need in the Aftermath of Conflict

Years of conflict have devastated Syria's educational infrastructure. Countless children have been forced into street labour to support their families, robbed of safety, stability, and the chance to learn. Schools have been destroyed, teachers displaced, and an entire generation left without the foundational education every child deserves.

While limited literacy programmes exist for adults, there remains a severe shortage of safe, engaging, and well-resourced learning spaces for children and youth. Most available classrooms are overcrowded and lack appropriate materials, leaving many without meaningful education or any sense of normalcy.

This programme addresses that gap, offering structured, quality Islamic education that rebuilds routine, confidence, and hope.

What Your Support Provides

Through this programme, students will receive:

• Mastery of correct Arabic reading and pronunciation
• Quran recitation and memorisation with qualified teachers
• Ijazah-style Quran recitation from a Sheikh
• Science of Tajweed (rules of Quranic recitation)
• Islamic sciences including Fiqh, Hadith, Aqidah, Sirah, and Tarbiyyah
• Learning to write the Quran in Ottoman script
• A safe, nurturing environment that restores childhood stability
  

Sadaqah Jaariyah: Rewards that Endure

By contributing to this programme, you are partaking in Sadaqah Jaariyah, an ongoing charity that brings continuous rewards. Every verse a child memorises, every letter of Quran they recite, every moment of hope restored, becomes a source of ongoing blessings for you, inshaa'Allah.
