Spring marks the transition from winter to summer. It is the time when the cold fades away, flowers start to bloom, and everything starts afresh. Spring is a time of growth, prosperity, change and renewal. The word for spring in ‘Arabic is ‘Rabi’ which again denotes a sense of freshness, tranquillity, growth and change. Just as spring brings about changes to our natural environment, sacred knowledge, acquired through the medium of the Qur’an and the Sunnah, has the potential to bring about tranquillity, freshness and renewal into our hearts, minds and souls. It is for this reason that the Messenger of Allah (saw), used to supplicate: “O Allah, make the Qur’an the spring [light] of my heart (Rabi’a Qalbi).” [Reported by Ahmad & Ibn Hibban on the authority of Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (ra)]

Spring Foundation was set up with the aim of facilitating the acquisition of sacred knowledge by supporting and encouraging students of knowledge to develop deep and comprehensive understanding of the traditional Islamic sciences with a contextual overview. Through scholarship funds, unique courses, and access to renowned institutions and scholars, SF hopes to rejuvenate the hearts and minds of those who seek to renew and strengthen their commitment to the service of their Lord, Allah the Lord of all the worlds.

Spring Foundation is an all-encompassing, non-partisan and non-affiliated organisation dedicated to supporting students of knowledge.The activities and projects of the SF are supported and guided by its advisory body consisting of renowned scholars and academics. Through our thorough and careful selection process we hope to bring together the most excellent students who we would ensure are the most committed, apt and astute group of students.
