Madani Academy was inspired by the legacy of Shaykhul Islam Sayyid Husain Ahmad Madani (rahimahullah). One of Shaykh Madani’s dreams and visions was to establish Islamic centers of knowledge throughout the world, which would engage not just the religious, but the general public as well. Of his many feats, he would encourage and take part in the establishment of makatib, madaris, Islamic schools, and seminaries.

His son, Amirul Hind Shaykh Asad Madani (rahimahullah), continued this legacy. Our founder, one of the elders and pioneers of the effort of deen in North America, Hazrat Professor Maulana Muhibbur Rahman
(damat barakatuhum), decided to bring this dream to the United States when there were barely any ulama, madaris, or systemized makatib. Under Shaykh As’ad Madanis guidance and advice, he established many communities and laid the foundations of many of the masajid, madaris, and makatib that exist today.
