Take them under your wing, out of mercy, with due humility and say: ´O my Lord, have mercy on them as they did care for me when I was small.´

The students of the first School of Islam, established in the Prophet's Medinan Masjid, were known as the Ashab Al-Suffah (People of the raised platform). These companions, with complete devotion, learned from the treasures of the beloved Prophet Muhammad, Peace and Blessings of God be upon him.
With this knowledge they set out and shared the Prophetic guidance with the rest of the world establishing the teachings of the Quran and Prophetic Sunnah.
The Suffah Foundation aims to continue this tradition of learning, practising & teaching Islamic values through the production of written materials, the Internet & public talks.
