Amana Institute of New York
Our Mission
Nurturing hearts, minds, and communities through the sacred tradition of Islamic scholarship
وَقُلْ رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا
“And say: My Lord, increase me in knowledge.” — Qur’ān 20:114
Our Sacred Trust
At Amana Institute, we believe that Islamic education is a sacred trust — one that shapes not only minds but hearts, character, and the very fabric of our communities. As we embark on this blessed journey in September 2025, we are committed to creating a comprehensive educational ecosystem that honors our rich scholarly tradition while addressing the needs of Muslims in contemporary America.
Our mission extends beyond the transmission of knowledge to the cultivation of righteous character, spiritual awareness, and a deep connection to Allah (سبحانه وتعالى). We seek to nurture students who are not only knowledgeable in their faith but are also equipped to serve their communities with wisdom, compassion, and integrity.
Through our diverse programs — from children’s foundational learning to the comprehensive six-year ʿĀlimiyyah program for sisters — we aim to create lifelong learners and community leaders who carry forward the light of Islamic scholarship for generations to come.
Our Educational Pillars
- Traditional Scholarship Preserving and transmitting the classical Islamic sciences through authentic chains of knowledge
- Character Development Emphasizing akhlāq (Islamic ethics) and spiritual purification alongside academic excellence
- Community Service Preparing students to serve their communities as educators, leaders, and positive change-makers
- Holistic Growth Nurturing intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and social development in a supportive environment

Opening our doors in September 2025, Amana Institute represents a new chapter in Islamic education in New York. Though we are just beginning, our vision is rooted in centuries of Islamic scholarly tradition.
Join Our Community
We invite families and individuals to be part of this blessed endeavor. Together, we can build a strong foundation for Islamic education in our community.
Our Vision
We envision a thriving community of learners where authentic Islamic knowledge flourishes, where students develop both scholarly excellence and spiritual depth, and where graduates become beacons of guidance in their communities.
Through Allah’s blessing and the support of our community, we aspire to establish Amana Institute as a trusted center for Islamic learning that bridges traditional scholarship with contemporary relevance, nurturing the next generation of Muslim leaders, educators, and servants of the faith.
