About the New Madinah College
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem
Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatul-Lahi Wa Barakatuh
New Madinah College is a K – 10 college located in Young, NSW. We are the first Australian school in the Islamic tradition in our region aiming to provide the highest standard quality education to our students.
At New Madinah College we understand the impact individuals and groups outside the family have, for better or for worse, on a child’s well-being. Therefore our focus is on building the bridge for student’s between their home, school and community lifestyles, creating a strong and harmonious support network, giving students the ability to develop to their absolute potential. We aim on creating a positive learning environment that meets all of a students’ emotional, psychological and physical needs, shaping them into people whom are valued members of the Australian community.
Every new generation of children are faced with new challenges and life experiences that previous generations did not come by. The majority of Muslim students today are 3rd generation Australian Muslims who are trying to find themselves and where they stand in the community. They are surrounded with crowds that appear to them conflicting in their cultures, values and beliefs. It is critically important for us as parents and teachers to nurture our youth and to create a learning environment that demonstrates how all groups of people can live in harmony with one another all the while creating their own identity as 3rd generation Australian Muslims, with a strong sense of self belonging and self worth in the community.
New Madinah College is a platform for students that encourages striving for excellence in academic studies and excellence in Islamic faith.
Learning Quran
The Holy Quran is the word of Allah Almighty, learning and understanding the Quran is an obligation upon every Muslim. Taking advantage of our children’s youth in teaching them about the Quran is fundamentally important. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH said: “The best amongst you is he who learns the Qur’an and teaches it.“ (Bukhari)
Sunnah
Allah Almighty sent the Prophet Muhammad PBUH as a guidance for mankind. We attain the pleasure of Allah SWT by learning and following in the footsteps of the Prophet PBUH. Allah SWT says: “Say, ‘O Muhammad’ If you indeed love Allah then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.“ (3:31)
Arabic
Allah Almighty chose the Arabic language from amongst all the languages of the world, past, present and future, to be the language of the Quran revealed to the whole of mankind. It is a duty upon Muslims to understand the Quran and Sunnah, Allah Almighty says: “Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Recital in order that you may understand.“ (12:2)
