Mission
To purify the heart, awaken the intellect, and nurture the soul in service to God and humanity. To cultivate communities rooted in knowledge, love, and stewardship.
A Home for Learning and Belonging
Across our communities, Islamic learning has become a matter of programs and events. Too often we’ve lost the spirit of the tradition: learning, gathering, and worshipping out of love and sincerity for Allah. Revival Ihya exists to revive that tradition and to form the whole person, in heart, intellect, and spirit, in preparation for stewardship. Four things set us apart. First, we offer traditional knowledge to everyone, not only students enrolled full time, and tailor learning to each person’s needs. We cultivate deep understanding and mastery of knowledge and the tools of learning (ʿulūm al-ālah), rather than focusing only on completing a program. Second, our learning is connected to the traditional ulama. Third, we are a home, not just a calendar of events: a place of love and belonging for adults, children, and families. Fourth, we integrate all sciences and root them in our local culture. Our learning and community center is a home where adults and children grow together toward the love and knowledge of Allah.
