As-salaam ‘alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuhu,
As part of our mission to tell the Muslim story, the KnowIslam Projects is glad to announce that we are creating a database for Islamic Schools in and Iʿtikāf centres in Nigeria. The database will be available to the public on our website, www.kno wislam.com.ng.
We have always received reports of Islamophobia, de-Islamization, and unfairness towards Muslim students in many non-Christian schools. Muslim Children are forced to sing lyrics other than the Qur’an, to sing praises of any other than Allah on assembly grounds, and sometimes, mandated to participate in unislamic school-established religious activities.
Iʿtikāf Centres
During Ramadan, Muslims who are new to their areas find it challenging to locate Iʿtikāf centres around them. We hope to make finding Masjids for Iʿtikāf easier with our project. The names of the schools and Iʿtikāf centres will be available on our website, Knowislam.com.ng
