Buffalo NY: Darul-Uloom Al Madania
Welcome to Darul-Uloom Al Madania, a private boarding school, providing an Islamic environment where young, growing minds come to learn. Darul-Uloom is not just a school; it is a community. Our students bring their unique qualities and join our community where you’ll find students, parents, our dedicated and experienced faculty and staff – all with shared beliefs – working together towards a common goal.
First we will take a look at what the school offers to boys:
Residence: Darul-Uloom Al-Madania Boy’s campus covers an area of approximately six acres consisting of sixteen buildings with hundreds of dorm rooms. Every room is furnished with beds.
1. Regular Academic Education: For boys nine years and older, we offer in-house academic education up to the tenth grade. This course runs simultaneously with one of the following religous programs:
2. Hifz Course: An approximately three year program for the complete memorization of the Holy Qur’an, along with an accredited State of New York approved curriculum for secular studies from the fourth to the tenth grade. Upon completing the program, students will receive a “Hafiz Al-Qur’an” certificate. Time to complete memorization may vary from person to person.
Secluar studies? Under Islam, Mosque and state are one. Is the State of New York, even paying attention?
3. Alim Course: A six year in depth study of the Holy Qur’an, Tafseer, Hadith, Fiqh, Arabic Grammar, and Tajweed. Completion of this course leads to a certificate of Islamic scholarship.
For those that do not know, Tafseer is the explanation of the Koran, the Hadith are the words and deeds of Mohammad, and Fiqh is the expansion of Sharia Law. Once again, these are not secular studies.
Here are the courses for girls.
Residence: Darul-Uloom Al-Madania Girls’ campus covers approximately one acre of land. The main residence building, Darul-Rasheed, houses more than 100 students. Every room is furnished with beds and a closet.
Programs of Study: Darul-Uloom Al-Madania offers two programs for girls:

They are even brainwashing children from kindergarten to the third grade.
The school is affiliated with the New York State Board of Education. Students are taught a broad range of subjects. In the academics, they are taught Math, Science, English, and Social Studies. In the Islamic Sciences, they are taught the basic Qur’anic reading, memorization of short Surahs, ahdadith, the Names of Allah, Duas, Islamic History, and Islamic conduct.“
Let me give you just two examples from the ahadith.
Murder is OK…
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 260:
Narrated Ikrima:Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn ‘Abbas, who said, “Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, ‘Don’t punish (anybody) with Allah’s Punishment.’ No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, ‘If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.’ “
Terrorism is OK…
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220:
Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.” Abu Huraira added: Allah’s Apostle has left the world and now you, people, are bringing out those treasures (i.e. the Prophet did not benefit by them).
Lets take a look at the masjid (Mosque), and the dominating structure it is.
Masjid Zakariya
When you see the sky-scraping crescents (Hilal) on top of two steeples- then you know you are looking at Masjid Zakariya. These crescents are approxematly 160 ft above ground, perhaps one of the highest Hilals on a Masjid in North-America.
You are entering Masjid Zakariya, a masjid surrounded by more than sixty Muslim families. A masjid with more then 20,000 square feet of covered area with two mezzanines to accommodate sisters.
I guess assimilating is out of the question.
Come visit Masjid Zakariya, which was once a cathedral, and sit where children as young as 12 years old recited the entire Qur’an from heart in one sitting to their teachers. Experience the unexplainable feeling along with many others who leave their cities and homes in the month of Ramadan to perform I’tikaff and rejuvenate themselves here in this Masjid.
Muslims take a real pleasure in turning houses of Christianity, into their houses of hate.
Surrounded by the sounds of footsteps at the time of Azaan and the laughter of children playing during the day, come learn why many have moved to enjoy the shade of Masjid Zakariya amidst the heat of endless challenges.
For those that do not know,the Azaan is the call to prayers.
For those Muslims that wish to take more advanced courses, here is what is available.
Ifta Course
Darul Ifta (Mufti program) is a two year advanced program of Fiqh (Islamic Law) open to those students who have already completed the Aalim program.
Students in this program research and analyze, under the auspices of a certified Mufti, the traditions of Prophet Muhammad (saw), rulings of the companions, the Mujtahid Imams, and the accepted and rejected rulings of the Fuqaha. Studies include books of Fiqh, Usul-ul-Fiqh, Fatawa, Tafseer, and other sciences. Students practice researching and compiling answers with reference to the source books under the guidance of the Mufti who reviews all textual responses.
Darul Ifta regularly responds to inquiries from families and organizations seeking counsel on personal matters ranging from Prayer to Business transaction. They also contribute regularly in the Fatawa section of our bi-monthly magazine, “Al-Madinah.”
Did I happen to mention, there is a Sharia movement happening in America?
Here is the kicker….
Secular Education
Darul Uloom Al Madania’s curriculum has been recognized by the New York State Department of Education. The secondary school board of Darul Uloom Al Madania offers classes from pre-K to grade 10. The curriculum is structured in accordance to the guidelines and standards of the New York State Department of Education.
Allowing this school to remain open, is the equivalent to allowing Nazi camps to remain open during WWII.
