ABOUT THE SEMINARY
Our mission arises from our belief that Islam is relevant for all times and all places, but that the needs of people and the application of Islamic principles vary by context. Our goal is to train our students to become deeply conversant with the Qur’an, Sunnah and the scholarly tradition of Islam as it has been elaborated over time, as well as the history and socio-cultural context that shapes Islam in America. We seek to provide Muslim Americans the tools required to serve communities in a variety of roles. We believe that Muslims should be vibrant members of America’s pluralistic society, working collaboratively with people of other faiths on matters of common concern towards a better world for all.
