Overview

As-Suffa, founded by Shaykh Zahir Mahmood, was inaugurated in 2004 primarily as a Maktab, providing essential Islamic education to children ranging from the age of 5 to 16. Throughout the years As-Suffa has grown immensely, commencing our part-time Alimiyyah in 2008 thereafter our full-time Alimiyyah course in 2011. Both of these courses have provided rigorous education, mixing both the traditional pedagogical methods with modern teaching pedagogies, for both males and females from the age of 16 upwards at our base in Aston. Through Allah’s help As-Suffa has produced 45 Aalims and 45 Aalimats, many of whom are now engrossed in serving their local communities and the Ummah at large.

From January 2023 As-Suffa Alimiyyah widened its horizons beyond Birmingham, aiming to benefit enthusiastic students outside Birmingham and beyond. As-Suffa launched its very own stand-alone 6-year Online Alimiyyah Course for both males and females. After much success As-Suffa will once again open up this course for a
new intake of students from January 2025.

This online set up has allowed students worldwide to benefit from the undivided attention of their teachers. As well as aid ardent students to benefit from the high calibre of education provided by the exceptional staff at As-Suffa. Students have been given the tools and skills to confidently serve, guide and lead their communities effectively.

This course is primarily aimed at students who are unable to commit to studying during the day due to work, studies or any other commitments, providing these students with the platform to also benefit and learn the sacred Islamic sciences. This course provides students with a firm grounding in Arabic language and the core Islamic sciences, creating competent students who are able to understand the Deen in light of the modern era. Graduates will receive shahadahs and ijazahs from their highly qualified teachers upon completion of the course, in addition to the in-depth grasp and understanding of the Deen they will undoubtedly gain from their years of study. This will lay down the foundation for graduating students to further their expertise in the Islamic Sciences.

Faculty

FOUNDER/TEACHER

The founder and principal of As-Suffa Institute and Outreach. Graduated from Darul Uloom Newcastle, South Africa. Holds a BA (Hons) in Islamic Theology.

Shaykh was born and raised in the United Kingdom. After formal school studies, Shaykh enrolled onto the Alimiyyah course at Darul Uloom, Bury. Shaykh’s journey of studying the sacred sciences took him from the UK to Pakistan’s Jamiah Uloom Al-Islamiyyah, Banori Town and concluded with an ijaazah to teach from Darul Uloom, Newcastle, South Africa where Shaykh benefitted from the teaching and guidance of erudite scholars like Molana Qasim Sema (may Allah preserve them).

With an enthusing spirit and vision for the progress of the Deen in the UK, Shaykh returned and took on the role of the Khateeb for Jami Masjid- one of the largest in Birmingham, whilst studying for a BA in Islamic Theology from Birmingham University.

Through the lens of concern for the community and with an understanding of their culture and needs, Shaykh opened As-Suffa that comprised of the evening maktab for children and the part time Alimiyyah course providing comprehensive teaching of the sacred sciences for those who could not commit to full time study. Today, by the grace of Allah and then the determination of Shaykh, As-Suffa caters the full time and part time Alimiyyah course, Islamic Studies Diplomas, post-graduate courses, modular sciences, youth facilities and regular weekend courses. As-Suffa Outreach which began in 2015 was borne from the aspiration to act upon the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon Him) in its totality- by serving each member of the community, in particular those who are the most vulnerable. Today the outreach branch has a Homeless Project, Foodbank, Mental Health Clinics, Domestic Violence Counselling, Legal Advice Help and local and national zakat distribution.

Shaykh is an internationally renowned speaker and has travelled extensively, from Barbados to Malaysia, with the objective of reviving the hearts with Islamic knowledge. The unique delivery style of Shaykh, radiating zeal and candour saw the success of the Islamic History series, which looked at the late and recent Muslim narrative in a revolutionary depth in the English language, and led to annual retreats studying the history and lessons of Muslim Spain.

May Allah Azzawajjal accept his efforts, grant him the ability to continue serving the community and bestow His Grace upon the teachers and students of Shaykh Zahir Mahmood.

Alongside his final 2 years of Alimiyyah, Moulana completed his BA in Islamic Studies with Arabic Pathway at Markfield Institute of Higher Education. For his dissertation, Moulana translated and analysed selected sections of Ibn ʿAbd Al-Bāqī’s ‘Al-Ṭirāz Al-Manqūsh Fī Maḥāsin Al-Ḥubūsh’, exploring the rich contributions made by Black figures to Islamic history and the notion of Anti-Black racism within Islam.
