Islam gives much importance to seeking knowledge “And say: My Lord, increase me in knowledge.” (Quran 20:114)
One of the primary aims of the Ibn Rushd Centre of Excellence for Islamic Research will be to address contemporary issues related to Muslims!!
It’s difficult to find a place which has an extensive array of physical resources on so many topics whilst also possessing an extensive online resource.
What does this mean?
Firstly:
One a person doesn't have to drive up and down the country to different libraries for research
Secondly:
Even if we reside a far distance from this library or even outside of the UK, the online resource would mean one is still able to benefit from the library. Making it easy access.
This centre will be TRAINING leaders in their field such as teachers, social workers, doctors, and others on how best to understand Islam.
