Principal’s Introduction

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh

I am writing as principal of Jamiatul-Ilm Wal-Huda, the College of Islamic Knowledge and Guidance, which was established in August 1997 for boys of the ages 11-19.

The Muslim community of the United Kingdom needs schools that provide a comprehensive, positive and inclusive understanding of Islam as well as secular education in a secure Islamic environment.

In response to this need, Jamia was established through the Acceptance by, and Mercy of, Allah Subhanahu Wataala and the gracious Duaas and generosity of Muslim brothers and sisters across the country.

Since 1997, over 1280 students have studied at Jamia with a current roll of around 410 boys. The majority of our students are local, but many come from around the country and some from as far as the United States and Hong Kong.
Jamia recognises that each young Muslim needs to strive to acquire knowledge of all aspects of Mankind; from historical to contemporary; from academic to vocational, from the pragmatic to the dogmatic and from the Islamic to the Secular. We want all young Muslims who study at Jamia to have the self-esteem and confidence to play a positive and inclusive role in their communities, to be good Muslims and exemplary citizens.

I thank you for visiting our website and hope you will remember Jamia in your humble duaas.
