Our Founding Vision
Somali Islamic Academy was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create a sanctuary of Islamic learning where the rich traditions of Somali Islamic scholarship could be preserved and made accessible to generations to come.
Founded by a group of dedicated scholars and community leaders, our academy started with just three courses and a handful of students. Today, we stand as a testament to what faith, dedication, and quality education can achieve.
"We didn't just want to teach Islam; we wanted to create a living tradition that would nurture souls and build communities."
Sheikh Abdullahi Mohamed
Founding Director
