Build an Unshakeable Islamic Identity in a World of Shifting Values.

Ibad Academy fuses traditional scholarship with intellectual confidence, equipping your child to navigate Hyper-Modernity without losing their moral compass.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever takes a path upon which to obtain knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him."

Who We Are

Ibad Academy fuses traditional scholarship with intellectual confidence, equipping your child to navigate Hyper-Modernity without losing their moral compass.

Ibad Academy was founded on a singular conviction:

وعن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏: ‏ ‏"‏من رضي بالله ربًا وبالإسلام دينًا، وبمحمد رسولا وجبت له الجنة‏"‏

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah () said, "If anyone is pleased with Allah as his Rubb, with Islam as his religion and with Muhammad () as (Allah's) Messenger, surely, he will be entitled to enter Jannah.".

We understand the unique dilemma of the modern Muslim family. You invest in top-tier education to nurture your child's critical thinking in math and science. Yet, their religious education often relies on methods that haven't evolved to meet their intellectual needs.

We exist to close that gap.

Founded by Sheikh Abdurrahmaan Cader, Ibad Academy represents a hybrid approach to Islamic mentorship. By combining the spiritual authority of a Classically Trained Scholar with the professional pedagogy of a PGCE Qualified Educator and International Experience, we offer a learning experience that is rare in the online space:

  • We don't just instruct; we engage. We respect the inquiring mind of the teenager, inviting difficult questions about Modern Ideologies, Identity, and Purpose.

  • We don't just cover the syllabus; we build resilience. Drawing on 10 years of international experience—from the frontiers of South America, to the classrooms of established Islamic Schools, and the academic halls of Al Balagh Academy—we prepare your child to carry their faith with confidence in a globalised and modern world.

We are not a replacement for the community; we are a specialized academy for the leaders of tomorrow.

"The modern world demands adaptation, but it requires a fixed center. We teach your child to anchor their Identity in their relationship with Allah, ensuring that no matter how the world changes, they know exactly who they are."

Are you seeing the signs of "Shifting Values" in your child?

You don't have to wait for the Maktab to start protecting them. We have codified our method into a 3-part framework for parents

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ أَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ،.
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Every child is born with a true faith of Islam (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone) and his parents convert him to Judaism or Christianity or Magianism.

Our Programs

We offer two distinct educational tracks designed to meet the student where they are:

1. Ibad Online Maktab (The Foundation)

For students aged 12–15 who need a rigorous, structured Islamic education.

This is not a traditional rote-learning class. It is a structured academic program designed to build the intellectual and spiritual foundations of the private-school student.

  • The Curriculum: A 3-day rotation covering Aqidah & Logic (Mondays), Modern Fiqh (Tuesdays), and Quranic Connection (Wednesdays).

  • The Approach: We use differentiated instruction to ensure students understand the logic behind the rules.

  • The Format: Live from Madinah via Zoom (Mon-Wed).

  • Class Size: Capped to ensure individual attention.

2. The Scholars' Circle (The Executive Mentorship)

For students aged 16+ seeking advanced guidance, leadership, and personal growth.

An exclusive, application-only mentorship cohort for young men ready to take their identity seriously. This is the "inner circle" where we move beyond the basics into high-level discussions on contemporary thought, leadership, and spiritual refinement.

  • The Focus: Identity formation, navigating Hyper-Modernity, and personal Tazkiyah.

  • The Access: Direct small-group access to Sheikh Abdurrahmaan for Q&A and guidance.

  • The Format: Weekly Seminar + Closed Group Discussion.

  • Status: Currently Waitlist Only.

Our Mission

To immunize the hearts and minds of the next generation against doubt and disconnection. Through a fusion of authentic scholarship and professional pedagogy, we cultivate unshakeable Yaqeen (Certainty)—empowering students to navigate a complex world with an identity that is intellectually sound and spiritually grounded.

Connection

Deepening understanding of the Quran with guided mentorship and community support.

Weekly sessions that build strong faith through thoughtful discussion and logic.
