About us
Who Are We ?
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
((إِنَّ مِنْ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةً لَا يَسْقُطُ وَرَقُهَا وَإِنَّهَا مَثَلُ الْمُسْلِمِ فَحَدِّثُونِي مَا هِيَ ؟ )) فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي شَجَرِ الْبَوَادِي قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : وَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ . ثُمَّ قَالُوا حَدِّثْنَا مَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : (( هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ ))
“There is a tree amongst trees, the leaves of which do not wither and that is like a Muslim; tell me which [tree] that can be?’ The Prophet then said: ‘It is the date-palm tree.” [Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim]
An-Nakhlah Institute is an educational initiative with an aim to revive Islamic culture, character, and identity by educating men and women of all ages. An-Nakhlah strives to provide individuals with opportunities for traditional Islamic learning through a wide range of courses designed with modern contexts and lifestyles in mind.
We at An-Nakhlah Institute strive to embody these descriptions of our namesake in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and intend to raise a generation as firm and as beautiful as the date-palm tree. We ask Allah, the Exalted for His acceptance and assistance.
Why Choose An-Nakhlah?
The date-palm tree is pleasing to look at and produces succulent dates. The believer should also exhibit a charming appearance both physically and through his conduct and speech. When stones are thrown at the date-palm tree, it sends down its finest part: its fruit. Likewise, when abuse is hurled against a believer, he responds in the best of ways.
This is why Allah also likens the believer to the date-palm tree. He, the Most High says:
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ تُؤْتِي أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا ۗ وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
Have you not seen how God has set forth a parable? A good saying is like a good tree [i.e., a nakhlah, a palm tree] whose roots are set firm in the ground, and whose branches are in heaven. It gives its fruits every season by the leave of its Lord. And God sets forth parables for mankind so that they might remember, be admonished, and therefore believe. [Surah Ibrahim, verses 24-25].
