Islam places a high value on education. The purpose of Islamic education is to prepare people for a life of purity and sincerity. This commitment to character building based on the ideals of Islamic ethics is the ultimate goal of Islamic education. It also focuses on the sense of accountability towards Almighty Allah which will enable people live their lives as faithful servants. The teaching of Islam leads to a life of unity, freedom, power, truth, beauty, goodness, love, and justice.
Understanding the teaching of the Holy Quran is the first step of Islamic education, and that establishes the relation of Humankind with Almighty Allah. As the science of Islamic education is based on the Quran and Hadith, the Imam Zankawah Foundation aims to continue to support the teaching and learning of the Quran as well as Islamic ethics, values, and ideals in many ways. We fund several Madrasas in the Savannah Region of Northern Ghana by providing logistics, sponsoring the construction of learning centres, and remunerating Islamic teaching and non-teaching staff.
