A strong Muslim community preparing generations of leaders contributing to prosperity for all Canadians.
Imam Al Shatibi Quran Institute
Established in September 2011, the Imam Al Shatibi Qur’an Institute has grown into one of the largest and most vibrant educational programs at Al Rashid Mosque. Founded and led by Shaikh Ahmad Badawi, the institute was created to preserve the Qur’anic tradition, strengthen Islamic identity, and make high-quality Islamic education accessible to families across Edmonton.
What began as a small program has flourished into a community institution. Today, the institute serves over 800 registered students in part-time studies, ranging in age from 5 to 80 years old, a multigenerational learning environment where children, youth, adults, and seniors learn side by side. Classes focus on Qur’an memorization (Hifz), recitation (Tajwīd), Arabic language, Hadith, and foundational Islamic studies, offering a pathway for students at every stage of their faith journey.
MISSION
VISION
To nurture a generation of Muslims, especially young Canadian-born Muslims, who develop a deep connection to the Qur’an and a proud sense of Islamic identity. Our vision is to create an institution where students learn, understand, and memorize the Qur’an perfectly; where recitation is elevated, character is refined, and leadership is cultivated; and where the teachings of the Qur’an illuminate homes, families, and the wider community for generations to come.
Shaikh Ahmad Badawi
Sheikh Ahmad Badawi began his journey in Islamic studies at the age of ten and completed the memorization of the entire Qur’an by the age of twelve. He continued his studies in Qur’anic sciences, fiqh, and Arabic grammar, which qualified him to serve as an imam and Qur’an teacher at Al-Jadeed Mosque in Hama, Syria, at the age of twenty. Since then, Sheikh Ahmad has devoted his life to teaching Muslims the art of Qur’anic recitation and supporting them on their journey to fully memorize the Noble Qur’an.
In 2009, he was awarded the Sanad (authorization) in the Ten Qira’at through the path of Al-Shatibiyyah. In 2011, Sheikh Ahmad founded the Imam Al-Shatibi Institute, and he has served as the director of this rapidly growing Islamic institute ever since.
