Islamic Education Department
Promoting Qur’an and Authentic Islamic Knowledge to Strengthen Eritrean Muslim Communities.
About the Islamic Education Department
We aim to promote comprehensive Islamic education by teaching the Qur’an and authentic Islamic studies. Through structured programs, qualified instructors, and accessible learning environments, we strive to cultivate knowledgeable, ethical, and spiritually conscious individuals who contribute positively to their communities.
Our goal is to establish teachers and students in each of Eritrea’s major cities, providing quality Qur’an and Islamic knowledge instruction. For students abroad or those wishing to learn online, we offer dedicated programs with the best teachers, ensuring authentic and effective learning experiences.
We also support our community members in pursuing scholarships for higher Islamic education. Ultimately, our mission is one: to teach our people the deen of Allah and strengthen the foundation of faith for generations to come.
