A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT OUR
VISION
We united by a shared vision and embarked on a bold mission to establish a madrassa in Melbourne dedicated to advancing Quranic literacy and fluency, with a focus on equipping children not only to recite the Quran but also to write its letters, fostering both confidence in memorisation and a deeper connection to the Quran.
Drawing upon their extensive expertise and insight into the educational landscape, they laid the foundation for an institution designed to serve the community with distinction. Their vision extended beyond traditional memorisation techniques, placing equal emphasis on the holistic development of young learners. The focus was not merely on rote memorisation, but on nurturing a profound understanding of the Quranic text itself. Both Rizbie Yunus and Sheikh Abdulrahman recognised the importance of empowering students with ownership and mastery over the language of the Quran, enabling them to engage with it in a way that cultivates both reverence and comprehension.
Through their unwavering dedication to Quranic literacy, they sought to create an environment in which each child could thrive, not just academically, but spiritually. Their commitment to excellence and innovation paved the way for a madrassa that goes beyond imparting religious knowledge, it is a place where students can develop a deep love for the Quran, foster spiritual growth, and embark on a lifelong journey of learning and reflection.
Narrated `Uthman bin `Affan: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The most superior among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ أَفْضَلَكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ ".
