Wilayah Learning Centre

Inception

Wilayah Learning Centre was founded in 2006 for Qur’anic and Islamic Spiritual lessons in English in Singapore. Wilayah is aimed at integrating religious and spiritual learning with character and moral development. The centre works together with other traditional learning centres and spiritual groups to keep young and new Muslims away from radicalism and promote social cohesion, harmony and peaceful communal relationships within the Muslim and with non-Muslim communities. WilayahLC is dedicated to our guide and saint of our time, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani an-Naqshbandi.
