What is At-Tarbiyah?
At-Tarbiyah means education and cultivation. At- Tarbiyah South Florida aims to provide Muslims education and cultivation upon pure Islam in the hopes that their beliefs, worship and manners will exemplify the teachings of our beloved Prophet, peace be upon him, as practiced by his Companions. The concept of Islamic Tarbiyah is paramount in the daily lives of all Muslims (i.e. the education and upbringing of the people). Tarbiyah begins with the education and training of our own selves, then of our families, and then of the community at large. This Tarbiyah is most important with the respect to our children, so that they are brought up upon the correct Islam.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ
“Verily Allaah does not change that which is with a people until they change that which is within themselves”
(Surah Ar-Ra’d: 11)

- At-Tamyīz (Differentiation): Associating ourselves with only those who properly uphold the principles of the Aqeedah (Creed) & Methodology of the Salaf us-Saalih (righteous predecessors), and distancing ourselves from the people who have added / innovated in religion (people of religious innovation), to provide and maintain the clarity in the pure authentic call to the Qur’ān & Sunnah.

o Making Clear that which opposes it (bid’ah)

Our Da’wah
Returning to the Noble Quran and the Prophetic Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf-us-Saalih (Pious Predecessors). This is from the command of our Lord
“And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad, prayers and peace are upon him,) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers’ way. We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell – what an evil destination” an -Nisaa 115
“So if they believe in the like of that which you believe, then they are rightly guided”al-Baqarah – 137
Purification of the Muslims from shirk and it’s various shades, cautioning them from innovation and foreign rejected practices and ideologies introduced into Islam. Purifying Islam from baseless explanations of the Qur’aan that do not return to the understanding of our Salaf. Purifying the Sunah from weak and fabricated narrations that have proven to destroy the clearness and purity of Islam and has also proven to prevent the advancement of the Muslims. This shall be taken on those of knowledge as the Messenger of Allah (saws) said “This knowledge shall be carried in each generation by those who repel the distortions of those who go too far, the misguidance of those who are astray, and the opinions of the ignorant” and follow the verse of Allah “ and Help you one another in Al -Birr and At -Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression”
Cultivation and Education of the Muslims upon the authentic Islaam. Calling them to practice its laws and adorn themselves with its virtues and manners which we bring about for the pleasure of Allaah and will assure for them happiness and success. Assisting one another so as to be that group of people mentioned in the Qur’aan who are saved from loss and destruction. Working by the ayat “and recommend one another to the truth and recommend one another to patience ”(Asr –3) and Allah’s command:
كُونُوا رَبَّانِيِّينَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تُعَلِّمُونَ الْكِتَابَ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَدْرُسُونَ
“Be you Rabbaniyoon (learned men of religion who practice what they know and also preach others), because you are teaching the Book, and you are studying it.”(Aali Imraan 79)
Reviving the correct Islamic scholastic manhaj (methodology) in light of the Quran, the Sunnah upon the way of the Salaf of this Ummah. Removing the stagnant state of blind following of madhabs and ideologies. Removing the blind-tunneled vision of partisanship, which is unfortunately a severe sometimes-incurable virus that controls the thinking of many of the Muslims and has distanced them from the true brotherhood of Islam. We do this following the verse “Hold on tight all of you to the rope of Allah and do not divide” and the statement of the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallaam) “And be all of you brothers”
Presentation of realistic Islamic solutions to contemporary problems, and strive to resume a true Islamic way of life and to establish a true Islamic Community by way of consultation with the ‘Ulamaa (Scholars) of Ahl us-Sunnah.
Promoting authentic Islamic Education in South Florida from the Quran & Sunnah upon the way of the Salaf. Warning from deviant groups such as (ISIS & Qaeda) upon guidance from the senior scholars.
