Dar al-HikmaSciences of the Muslim Intellect
The School

Forming the Muslim intellect

Why Dar al-Hikma exists, the sciences it transmits, and the tradition it carries forward.

The idea behind the school

Establishing the method of the Muslim intellect upon an epistemic foundation that shapes its understanding of itself, of the world, and of the Creator — glorified and exalted is He.

He grants wisdom to whom He wills — and whoever is granted wisdom has been granted abundant good.
We come to You in poverty, O Possessor of all riches.
