Nestled within the nurturing framework of the Greensville Trust, the Micro-Madrasa unfolds as a graceful journey into the luminous heart of Islamic literacy, offering a structured path of orthodox and holistic knowledge for the adult seeker.
This student-centere sanctuary of learning masterfully blends venerable tradition with thoughtful innovation, employing serene academic environments and contemporary methods to facilitate profound understanding. Its meticulously designed curriculum is a living bridge to the pure source of all guidance.
Beginning with the Foundational Year, students are gently introduced to the core disciplines through celebrated texts like Imam ad-Dardir's The Beautiful Pearl in Theology and Imam al-Ghazzali's The Beginning of Guidance in Spirituality, each subject meticulously rooted in the teachings emanating from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his noble Companions, and the purified Ahl al-Bayt.
As students progress through the Second and Graduate Years, delving deeper into jurisprudence with Imam al-Musili's authoritative Quintessential Legal Verdicts and ascending the spiritual path with masters like Imam al-Haddad ra and Imam al-Ghazzali ra, they trace the flourishing legacy of the mujtahid Imams and the great scholars who faithfully carried the prophetic light through centuries.
Thus, from the Prophetic Biography and Qualities to the intricacies of Quranic Arabic and Legal Theory, every lesson is a singular, coherent thread woven from that divine origin, ensuring that students not only acquire knowledge but also connect—heart and mind—to the unbroken chain of transmission that defines and preserves the eternal message of Islam.
The micro madrasah is taught as a three year course in various locations. There is also the option of studying an abridged version of the course in one year online.

"The Messenger of God upon him be peace said: The world is a prison for the believer and paradise for the disbeliever". [Muslim]
The Sanctuary Retreats will take place three times in the academic year, taking place at scenic grounds of Mustafa Mount in Bradford. Students will be able to participate in the retreats either:
1. Onsite (depending upon availability of onsite places)
2. Offsite
3. Online
In the tradition of Islam, the spiritual reality of an entity is reflected in its name, thus the retreat as well as its aims are intended to fulfil the purpose of being a safe haven and a shelter from the lowly world of anxiety, frenzy and constant distraction.
The aim of the Sanctuary is to facilitate an environment wherein one is able to connect to God Almighty throughout the day and the night through the implementation of a prophetic schedule featuring pre-dawn supplications, congregational prayer, wholesome prophetic food, physical activities, classes of knowledge and gatherings of remembrance.
The day is begun with pre-dawn supplications as that is the time where true relationships with the Divine are forged and approved. The moments before the emergence of the dawn is also famously known as a time where all prayers, worldly or other worldly, are accepted.
The Micro-Madrasa classes are continued in the Sanctuary for all students, as the arrangement of classes surrounded by natural creation only serves to enhance the intake of the mind as well as to augment the spiritual experience.
Since the spirituality of food is significant in producing a wholesome body and soul, the students during the Sanctuary are catered with foods that are inspired by the Prophetic diet and are organic and nourishing. The meals which are prepared from ingredients that are wholesome and locally-sourced are prepared with the intention of healing for the body as opposed to merely satisfying one's apetite.
An additional distinct highlight of the Sanctuary is the opportunity to partake in a wide range of physical activities. These include prophetic sports such archery, and grappling and other activities such as beekeeping and sacred geometry.
