"We made the day and night as two signs. So We made the sign of the night devoid of light, and We made the sign of the day ˹perfectly˺ bright, so that you may seek the bounty of your Lord and know the number of years and calculation ˹of time˺. And We have explained everything in detail." Quran 17:12

"And I see the future is bright, inshaAllah. With TISA’s continued efforts in developing future leaders, we are nurturing individuals who lead with sound understanding and strong intellectual grounding—leaders who are not afraid to face today’s challenges, but rather engage them with knowledge, confidence, and a well-developed scholarly foundation." - Dr. Abdul Rashed Nizam (Member of TISA Board of Trustees)

The Prophet (s) would regularly pray:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا

"O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and accepted deeds."

Seeking beneficial knowledge is not simply an academic pursuit—it is a lifelong journey of worship, growth, service, and drawing nearer to Allah.

"Since joining TISA, I've not only become more in-depth in my Islamic knowledge, but I've also become exposed to awkward, difficult current issues and how to navigate them with authentic academic integrity." Ahmed Lotfy Rashed ‘26

❝Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four (i.e., the 1st, the 7th, the 11th, and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar) are sacred. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them.❞ QURAN [at-Tawbah, 9:36]
