Teachings & Guidance

The teachings of Imam Ahmad El-Tayeb and the scholars of Al-Azhar carry centuries of wisdom rooted in the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah. Their message calls for balance — between faith and reason, between devotion and compassion, and between knowledge and action.

“The purpose of knowledge is not argument, but action. And the purpose of religion is not division, but mercy.”

— Imam Ahmad El-Tayeb

Key Themes of Our Teachings

1. Unity of Humanity

Islam recognizes no superiority of race or nationality. Imam El-Tayeb reminds us that “All creation is one family under Allah.” Our Foundation teaches tolerance, justice, and mutual respect among people of all beliefs.

2. Balance and Moderation

Extremes lead to harm — whether in religion or worldly life. The path of moderation (Wasatiyyah) is the middle road taught by the Prophet ﷺ. This principle is central to all our teaching programs and scholarly circles.

3. Knowledge as Light

Knowledge is a form of worship. It elevates hearts and protects communities. The Foundation sponsors study circles, scholarships, and research in Islamic sciences, philosophy, and modern education.

4. Dialogue and Coexistence

True strength comes from understanding. Imam El-Tayeb has engaged in global dialogue between Muslims, Christians, and Jews, emphasizing peace and shared moral values. We continue this legacy of bridge-building.

5. Justice and Responsibility

Justice is the foundation of peace. Our programs teach social responsibility, economic fairness, and ethical leadership in every walk of life.

6. Service to Humanity

Serving others is the highest form of worship. Through education, food aid, and compassion, we put these teachings into action every day.

Scholarly Sessions & Outreach

Lecture 1 Lecture 2

Our teachers and scholars hold weekly sessions covering Qur’anic reflection, interfaith dialogue, and moral education. These sessions nurture both spiritual and intellectual growth.

The Path of Learning

Step 1

Seek Knowledge

Begin with curiosity and sincerity — the heart’s desire to understand Allah’s creation.

Step 2

Reflect Deeply

Learning is not memorizing — it’s understanding, questioning, and applying truth in life.

Step 3

Serve Humanity

Knowledge that doesn’t benefit others is incomplete. Share what you learn with compassion.
