Imam Ghazali Institute

At the launch of Imam Ghazali Institute in April 2007 he said the following: "The ideals of Imam Ghazali Institute were born out of a need for traditional Islamic knowledge in the East coast. We have a tendency as Muslims to wonder why this happens or why are we as Muslims not applying the Prophetic methodologies to our present situation; be it social, environment, or religious. In the majority of times I found that we don't even have the knowledge to apply the methodology; hence we find ourselves either re-inventing the wheel or our approach to problems and issues are solved from solutions which do not belong in the Divine Realm. Therefore, after over a decade and a half of serving as Imam and the many societal issues which i have come to encounter, I decided that a new approach is needed. The times are different and it requires an influx of a higher level knowledge. The result, Imam Ghazali Institute. Our mission is simple, to provide traditional Islamic education to all Muslims. We realize we will have to take small steps and we are small, but the battle of BADR was won with only a handful of Muslims. With the permission of Allah swt and through the guidance and leadership of the world's scholars Inshallah we will be able to accomplish our goal. "
