The West London School of Islamic Studies (WLSIS) was inaugurated in May 2007 by Shaykh Dr Ridhwan Saleem of London.

Our Mission

Our Mission is simply a place of Islamic learning for students of all abilities, without any political or sectarian bias.
Increasingly British Muslims are subjected to questions regarding their faith, often by themselves. By teaching Islam in a pure and preserved form, WLSIS enables individuals to come closer to its essence, free from the confusion often embedded within the media, culture and modern day society.

Our principal teachers have spent many years studying the sacred knowledge with some of the world’s leading scholars. 

Our teaching is that of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah, a teaching that has been preserved through the generations in an unbroken chain of transmission from one teacher to the next.

It is our hope that Allah the Transcendent and Exalted accepts our efforts, purifies our intentions, and makes WLSIS a centre for authentic traditional Islamic learning and spiritual guidance in the UK.

What We Offer

We offer a range of classes at various levels which are open to students of all ages and abilities.

Our students vary from those who simply wish to learn the principals of Islam (such as basic doctrine and rules of purification, Quran-recitation and prayer), to those who wish to study further and become imams, teachers, scholars or competent in inviting others to Islam.

Sacred Knowledge

We are committed to preserving the pure tradition of Islam, representing the light that flowed from the most illuminated soul in human history, the Prophet Muhammad (may the mercy of Allah and peace be upon him and his family).

Our teaching is that of the people of Sunnah and Jama’ah, a teaching that has been preserved through the generations, guarded from the time of the Companions, by one pious heart to the next, in an unbroken chain of transmission. Our mission is to preserve this blessed teaching for the benefit of mankind.
