Our Story

2010

The Imam Shatibi Institute was launched.

Al Muntada Trust established Imam Shatibi: the Institute where perfection of recitation was prioritised – where Egypt was brought to the UK. With the likes of Sheikh Shoieb Aly and Sheikh Galal Salem the Institute’s roots were spread, and a movement was created. One that would change the landscape of Qur’anic studies in the West, for years to come.

2014

Within 4 years, it had seen its first cohort of students graduate with the Qira’at Al Ashr (the Ten Modes of Recitation; of the most prestigious qualifications in the study of the Qur’an). It further established its Qur’an competition, where it invited esteemed guests including Sheikh Ma’sarawi and Sheikh Ali Sufi.

Over time, the Institute has grown, developed and matured. It has changed hands of management, changed teachers, changed systems. And yet its core value has always remained the same: Itqan; perfection in recitation.

And here we are today.

Reflect, take heed, become people of understanding. Absorb the values of the Qur’an. Instil the values of the Qur’an in people’s hearts. And here is where the next chapter begins.
