Our Objective
The Sirat Institute aspires to train a generation of believers who place Allah at the center of their lives, and enter Islam completely.
The Prophetic Mission
لَقَدۡ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ إِذۡ بَعَثَ فِیهِمۡ رَسُولا مِّنۡ أَنفُسِهِمۡ یَتۡلُوا۟ عَلَیۡهِمۡ ءَایَـٰتِهِۦ وَیُزَكِّیهِمۡ وَیُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبۡلُ لَفِی ضَلَـٰل مُّبِینٍ
(آل عمران ١٦٤)
"Allah has certainly favored the believers when He sent among them a messenger from themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and wisdom, although they were before in clear misguidance."
Surah Ali-'Imran (3:164)
Our Objective
Inspired by the divine methodology, our vision is structured around the 4 prophetic missions revealed in the Quran, namely the recitation of verses, purification, teaching the laws of the Book and the transmission of Wisdom.
Our ambition is to reconcile knowledge and practice, body and heart, to advance together and as far as possible on the straight path (as-sirât al-mustaqîm).
The Four Prophetic Missions as pillars of our approach
The recitation of Allah's verses
( يَتْلُوا عَلَیْهِمْ آیَاتِهِ )
The first step and the foundation of the prophetic mission has been the constant exposure of hearts to the verses of the Quran, as they carry within them the signs of perfection, oneness and greatness of Allah.
Specific Objective:
Accompany students to make the Quran a life companion.
Purification
( وَيُزَكِّیهِمۡ )
Continuous exposure to the Book of Allah, Al Quddus (The Pure), has an inevitable effect: purification. This is of several orders:
Specific Objectives:
- Learn to see and understand this world through the prism of Islam.
- Teach the centrality of soul purification in the spiritual journey.
- Accompany in the concretization of theoretical knowledge into practical actions.
Teaching of the Book
( یُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ )
Once hearts are purified and minds enlightened, comes the stage of teaching the Book. It consists of transmitting the knowledge of rules related to belief and acts of worship contained in the Revelation, not as isolated prescriptions, but as a means of expressing one's love and submission to Allah.
Specific Objective:
Give believers the tools to understand their religion with rigor and depth.
Teaching of Wisdom
( وَیُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ )
Beyond knowledge of laws, the Prophet ﷺ taught wisdom: the art of applying texts with discernment, balance and correctness. Wisdom is what links science to lived realities, what allows to prioritize, prioritize and implement with clairvoyance. It is the fruit of the prophetic Sunna, which illuminates the way to act, transmit and behave in all situations.
Specific Objectives:
- Transmit the spirit of Revelation: wisdom, discernment and just application.
- Train believers capable of embodying prophetic values in their way of life, and transmit them by being a source of light for their surroundings.
Expected Results
A community rooted in the Quran and inspired by prophetic Wisdom.
Believers trained in the balance between knowledge, faith and action.
Men and women engaged in the purification of their soul and in the continuous improvement of their behaviors.
A rediscovery of the Quran as light and guide of life, through recitation, meditation, study, implementation, then transmission.
