What is a madrasa?
Madrasah is the center of knowledge production and transfer of Islamic civilization. Madrasahs established in major scientific cities such as Bukhara, Samarkand, Baghdad and Cairo have trained scholars, thinkers and statesmen for centuries. Institut Bukhara keeps this deep-rooted tradition alive in the heart of Berlin.
Our Educational Philosophy
Our understanding of education is based on the classical student-teacher relationship. Each student receives one-on-one guidance on their journey of knowledge. A balance of understanding by memorization, reason through transfer, and modernity with tradition is observed.
"Knowledge is sought from the cradle to the grave. Go and get knowledge even if it is in China."
