Introduction
The Quba Institute of Arabic and Islamic
Studies is a corollary of the International
Muslim Brotherhood, Inc. The International
Muslim Brotherhood was established in 1949.
It is the oldest indigenous Muslim Organization/Masjid
in Philadelphia. From as far back as 1967,
when the first Adult Islamic Educational
Programs were established, this masjid
has been at the forefront of Islamic education.
During that time, International Muslim
Brotherhood forged partnerships with the
Muslim Student Associations of local Universities
to expand the level of competency of their
educational outreach programs. Such educational
and political luminaries as Hassan Turabi,
the former President of the Sudan; Abdul-Hamid
Abu Sulaiman, the Director of the Islamic
University of Malaysia and Medhat Hassanein,
the Minister of Finance of The Arab Republic
of Egypt have added their voices and their
efforts to replenish and support International
Muslim Brotherhood's educational agenda. |
