PRINCIPAL’S STATMENT

We glorify Allah (Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala) and send blessings and salutations of

peace upon Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.)

Jamiatul Uloom Al Islamia’s vision dictates our endeavours and is summarised by

our school motto: Empowering today’s youth for tomorrow. This ideology infiltrates

throughout our school, as we strive to establish this by educating our children with in-

depth academic and Islamic education.

The provision of quality education, coupled with nurturing a good upbringing,

are the foundations of Jamiatul Uloom Al Islamia. Our aim is to provide our students withsound academic learning, sacred Islamic knowledge and to bestow them with life skills,in order that they can become positive contributors to British society and the world.

Independent thought, theological resilience, a deep rooted belonging to Islam

and an unwavering love for Allah (Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala) and His beloved Prophet,Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam), are the core components we aim toempower our students with. We aim to cultivate a harmonious yet competitive culture

in our supportive and goal-orientated environment.

In closing, we pray that Allah (Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala) continues to showerHis immense and eternal blessings on us; that He empowers us with the ability to

strengthen our endeavours, that He grants us sincerity and steadfastness in our actionsand that He accepts all of our exertions in upholding His Deen.

Shaikh Mufti Muhammad Sadek SahabPrincipal of Jamiatul Uloom Al Islamia

▪ Retain the ideology of Islamic culture and civilization

▪ Implement the Aqaaid of Tawheed, Risalat, Akhirah and Khatme-Nabuwwat.

▪ Spread and promote the noble teachings of the Blessed Quran and Sunnah of

Rasoolullah Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallaam.

▪ Provide the highest standard of secular and Islamic education with emphasis on

spiritual and moral development based on Islamic teachings and doctrines, in

order for our school community to be exemplary upright British citizens.

▪ Create each individual as a means of guidance for mankind, upholding British

values and demonstrating tolerance and understanding towards all.

MISSION & OBJECTIVES

From a sociological and educationist perspective,

research has clearly proven that the child’s success or

failure in school is not solely dependent on school-based

factors. Rather, home-based and social-based factors

play huge roles in the socialisation process and

educational achievement of the child. We want our

students to become the best Muslim citizens. To achieve

this, three key mechanisms; the parents/guardians, the

school and the student, must share the same goals and

work cohesively. At Jamia, we will do our utmost to

ensure students learn and progress regularly and urge

parents/guardians to keep regular contact with the

school and monitor their child’s progress.
