Book a CMC Graduate Here on ImamConnect
The world we live in today is complex to navigate through even for those learned in the Deen. Without a doubt, many of the great Islamic seminaries in the Muslim world offer an excellent grounding in the traditional sciences. However, in order to be able to function effectively as a Muslim community leader in the West, one would need to couple one’s knowledge in the traditional Islamic sciences with modern disciplines. The imam would need an array of knowledge to address contemporary discourses within his community.
About Cambridge Muslim College
Founded in 2009, Cambridge Muslim College (CMC), offers a bridge between the classical intellectual tradition of Islam and that of the West which allows its graduates to address contemporary discourses within the community. Its Founder, Dr. Timothy J. Winter, or better known as Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad is himself an academic at the Divinity School at Cambridge University.
CMC graduates have benefitted the Muslim community in Britain; and beyond since it has attracted enrollment beyond the UK.
