Our History

The Yusufiyah Masjid in Wynberg served as the first home for the institute. The Institute was established and began enrolment on the 16th January 2002 under the name Yusufiyah Islamic and Arabic Institute.

In March 2003, the Institute moved to the Darun-Na’im Masjid in Wynberg and changed its name to Darun-Na’im Institute of Higher Islamic Learning to reflect its new location. The Institute began with one staff member, Moulana Allie Goder, who served as both lecturer and principal.

In the following year an additional lecturer was employed to accommodate the second year class, and over the years grew along with its amount of students.

Testimonials

Saadiq Ebrahim

Class of 2021

I could not have imagined that joining Darun-Na’im in 2021 would produce such a profound shift in my heart, mind, and life. First year entailed the journey of finding Allāh through the Qur’ān with giving a basic understanding of the Arabic language. Despite my initial aim to stay for only one year, first year left me so hungry for more that made leaving out of the question. I discovered things that I had no idea I needed to know. However, it was clear that what we were learning were only the fundamentals of being a Muslim. I would strongly suggest the course to any Muslim.

Kausar Rahman

Class of 2019

Darun-Na’im is more than just a madrasa. It is a place where students can grow and develop both academically and spiritually. The teachers at Darun-Na’im treat their students like family, and they are always there to offer guidance and support. I would highly encourage students of all ages to attend Darun-Na’im and work on their most important relationship: the one they have with Allāh.

Class of 2020

My experience at Darun-Na’im was nothing short of amazing and life changing, Alḥamdulillāh. The institute and its teachers are indeed a Raḥmah and Nūr to the community. One feels extremely blessed to sit at the feet of its humble teachers who guides one on the path of birr thereby reminding you of how blessed and chosen you are to be sitting with Allāh's Kalām.
