A tradition of knowledge, practice and spiritual excellence.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught the dimensions of our religion through the encounter with Jibril. At Al Haadi, these three dimensions provide a natural framework for understanding our approach to Islamic education: sound practice, sound belief and the cultivation of the heart and character.
Hadith of Jibril · Sahih Muslim
Islam calls us to worship Allah, fulfil our obligations and live according to the guidance of His Messenger ﷺ. At Al Haadi, this practical dimension of religion is studied through the established tradition of Sunni jurisprudence.
Hanafi Fiqh · Shafii Fiqh
Al Haadi recognises all four established Sunni schools of jurisprudence, while its current programmes specialise in the teaching of Hanafi and Shafii fiqh.
Iman is the foundation of what we believe: faith in Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day and Divine Decree.
Al Haadi Institute is rooted in the tradition of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah, following the established Sunni scholarly heritage in matters of belief and theology.
In matters of Aqeedah, our teaching is grounded in the established Ashari and Maturidi traditions of Sunni theology.
Islamic knowledge has traditionally been received through teachers, studied with discipline, preserved through generations and transmitted onward. At Al Haadi, we value this living tradition of learning through scholars and teachers.
Our scholars and lecturers are grounded in chains of learning and transmission connecting successive generations of Islamic scholarship. Where appropriate, individual scholars may present their own ijazah and sanad with their academic profiles.
Knowledge is received before it is transmitted.
The Prophet ﷺ described Ihsan as worshipping Allah as though we see Him, while knowing that although we do not see Him, He sees us.
Islamic learning is not confined to what is known by the mind. It must also shape the heart, character and conduct.
Al Haadi respects and recognises the established Sunni traditions of spiritual cultivation represented through the recognised spiritual paths of the Ummah.
Our emphasis is upon the shared principles of spiritual refinement: sincerity, remembrance of Allah, purification of the heart, spiritual discipline, beautiful character and service.
We seek not merely to inform the mind, but to cultivate the heart, character and life of the student.

Islam. Iman. Ihsan.
The Prophet ﷺ identified the visitor as Jibril and explained that he had come to teach the people their religion.
