EDUCATION has always been historically linked to Islam and the development of Muslim Civilization.
As far back as the Umayyad Period, within the first century of the Islamic Era, public schools were founded. These were established by influential men in cities such as Taif, Kufa, Basra and Khurasan. The tradition of providing education for boys was a particularly Islamic one: students were taught for free or for a payment which their parents could afford.
Today, almost one thousand five hundred years on, the world is again witnessing s renaissance in the field of education. The ever increasing challenges created by the impact of global communications and new modes of learning only highlight further the pressing need for a positive and dynamic approach to the human quest for knowledge. It is now an accepted fact that a large number of Muslims are living amid the modern pluralist societies of Europe and America. Therefore, it is from here, the West, that the greatest pioneering developments are expected to take place.
Brondesbury College for Boys, London, was founded in recognition of the need for the provision of a broad system of educational excellence; one that would meet the demands of parents who want their sons to enter the twenty-first century equipped with the necessary skills and moral qualities to prepare them for tomorrow’s world. The College is managed by the Waqf al Birr Trust, a registered UK Charity and endowment, under whose auspices the Islamia Girls High School has now officially become one of the top 50 schools in the city of London.
