ADMISSIONS PHILOSOPHY

Our Selection Criteria

Admission to Ibad Academy is not automatic. We limit our cohort sizes to ensure that every student receives the level of mentorship required for deep identity formation.

We are looking for families who view religious education not as a cultural checklist, but as a core intellectual foundation. We prioritize students who demonstrate curiosity, and parents who are committed to the long-term process of character development.

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا مَاتَ الإِنْسَانُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثَةٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious child, who prays for him (for the deceased).
