ILF not only wishes to ground the student a strong literacy of classical Islamic subjects such as Fiqh, Hadith, Aqeedah, Quran/Tafsir, History, and Hadith/Sunnah studies, but to provide the student the ability to implement, teach, and benefit his or her community by supplementing the classical courses with workshops and classes on issues facing present-day societies relating to families, education, poverty, community issues, and da’wah and relations with other faiths. Another part of ILF‘s mission is to provide education specifically for New Muslims and their families and help them grow in their understanding and practice of their new faith.
ILF, being a part of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), also has a wide range of opportunities available for students through its numerous da’wah activities, youth work, programs for women, local and national relief work to actualize their Islamic knowledge by becoming involved in benefiting the community.
Thus ILF creates a unique fusion of solid Islamic literacy and Islamic activism to help the community and society while producing students who have a strong understanding of Islamic sciences and how to benefit their families and communities with it.
