Islamic Ethos

Our Islamic ethos are built upon the Holy Quran and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, which provide a comprehensive guide to living a fulfilling and righteous life according to Islamic principles. The Quran serves as the primary source of guidance for Muslims, providing teachings on every aspect of life, including matters of faith, morality, spirituality, and social behaviour. Similarly, the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad provides practical guidance on how to apply the teachings of the Quran in daily life, based on his example as the perfect role model for all Muslims.

Our Islamic ethos, therefore, emphasizes the importance of following the guidance provided by the Quran and Sunnah in all aspects of life. It encourages individuals to seek knowledge and understanding of the Quran and Sunnah, and to apply this knowledge to their daily lives. It emphasizes the importance of cultivating a strong connection with God through acts of worship, prayer, and charity, as well as through good deeds and moral behaviour towards others. Our Islamic ethos also emphasizes the importance of treating others with respect and kindness, regardless of their backgrounds or beliefs, and of working towards the greater good of society through acts of compassion and service.

The College is established in connection with The Newport Islamic Society Inc. (also known as Australian Islamic Centre (AIC)) and as such, continues to enjoy a strong and ongoing association and fellowship with the AIC. The Constitution stipulates that the College was established to promote education within an Islamic framework and to deliver excellence in education in a respectful and safe environment that is guided by Islamic religious ethos and high standard of family and ethical values.
