Education
Our Qur'an Academy teaches memorisation and recitation, alongside Islamic studies. We also partner with the Alternative Learning System so students can continue their formal schooling.
About our teaching →Manila, Cavite, Cebu and Zamboanga, the Philippines
Sulaymaniyah Education Centre
Qur'an education and Islamic studies for boarding students — running in the Philippines since 2009.
Let's form religious and wise future generations together.
The work is ordinary and it is daily: lessons taught, meals cooked, children looked after.
Who we are
Sulaymaniyah Education Centre was established in 2009 through Turkish-Filipino cooperation. Our first boys' madrasah opened in February 2010 in Cebu with one hundred students.
Today we run four branches — two in the Manila area, one in Cebu and one in Zamboanga. All teach the Qur'an and Islamic studies, and all are homes as well as schools.
We are not a large organisation. What we do is take children in, teach them, feed them, and stay where we are needed for as long as we are able.
