Education
From a Home Classroom to a Growing Madrasa
New Muslims were sent to Masjid Khadija, then to a class in Ummu Bilal’s home. That class is now a madrasa with five volunteer teachers.
From the activity report, October 2024 – August 2026
When people in Majengo embraced Islam, they were referred to Masjid Khadija, and from there to Ummu Bilal. She taught them in her home.
The lessons were the ones a person needs first. How to read a little. How to pray. How to make taharah. Nothing about it was large, except the fact that someone had opened a door.
The numbers grew, and the home could no longer hold the class. It moved to the mosque. Today it is a madrasa with five volunteer teachers. Students learn Qur’an, recitation and writing, Tawheed, Seerah, and the basics of the religion.
Golden Hope tells this story because it is the pattern of the work. One person teaches. A few people join her. A community finds it has a school.
