The Serenity House Madrasa has its roots in Islamic teaching that began in 1997. Over nearly three decades, under different names and alongside different organisations, the aim has stayed the same: to make authentic Islamic knowledge clear, structured and accessible to everyday Muslims in Britain. Today, as Serenity House and Madrasa Dar al-Sakina, we bring that experience together with recognised qualifications, live teaching and flexible study, so that learners of all backgrounds can grow in understanding of their faith.
