About Us

Shatibiy Institute is your gateway to the knowledge of Islam.

Shatibiy Institute is a dedicated educational centre located at Beaumont Leys Masjid in Leicester, UK. Founded with the mission to preserve and disseminate the rich heritage of Islamic knowledge, we specialise in delivering a classical and immersive education in the traditional Islamic sciences.

Our institute is named after the revered scholar Imam Al-Shatibi, reflecting our commitment to high standards in both teaching and learning. We offer a range of free courses designed to provide students with a deep understanding of essential Islamic disciplines, including Qur'anic recitation, Tajweed, Arabic grammar, and Hadith sciences.

At Shatibiy Institute, we emphasize both memorisation and comprehension, following a time-honoured methodology that has been the backbone of Islamic scholarship for centuries. Our courses are primarily taught in Arabic, ensuring that students engage directly with the source texts, though we also offer foundational courses in English to accommodate beginners.

We believe that the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong journey and an act of devotion. We aim to nurture students who are not only well-versed in the sciences of Islam but also capable of applying their knowledge in their daily lives, embodying the teachings of the Qur'an and Sunnah.

Whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of the Qur'an, refine your Tajweed, or embark on a journey into the intricacies of Arabic grammar and Hadith studies, Shatibiy Institute provides the perfect environment to grow in both faith and knowledge. Join us as we strive to seek, learn, and illuminate the path of Islamic knowledge together.
