About
We help children engage their bodies and minds through fun and educational activities.
The Global Association of Islamic Schools (GAIS) is a non-profit, voluntary membership
association of organisations and individuals whose mission is to be of service to Islamic School
Education (K to 12) across the globe.
Inspired by a sense of Ummah consciousness, the GAIS brings together schools, organizations,
educators and scholars under a single global banner with the common aspiration to make a
positive contribution to Islamic Schooling world-wide.
With the proliferation of Islamic schools, the time has arrived for a global effort to bring all
Islamic school associations, school groups, organisations and schools together under a unified
global body.
GAIS aspires to co-create the future of Islamic education by uniting and empowering the K to
12 Islamic School community
Who We Are
The GAIS took root after an online meeting initiated by Br. Zaffar Ahmed who reached out to a
group of nine Islamic School Associations across the globe on 22 November 2021. Following an
enthusiastic response from this first auspicious gathering, a general working group was formed
along with a steering committee, and so started the journey to bring all Islamic School
associations, organizations and schools together under the banner of the Global Association of
Islamic Schools
- As independent Islamic schools across the globe, we are connected by our common aim to anchor the hearts and souls of our children in a moral framework inspired by an Islamic value system.
- Personal fulfilment is derived from striving toward a sense of purpose and making connections through service to others
- A sense of belonging enables people and communities to thrive and flourish & Working together for the sake of Allah results in barakah and more positive outcomes
- Sharing, collaborating and nurturing are necessary for growth and change.
- All individuals have intrinsic worth and should be respected.
- Being open to differences and being cognisant of international-mindedness is crucial for success in an interconnected world.
Books Project
Welcome to the Books section, O people of “Iqra!”
Iqra, meaning “Read,” is the first word that was revealed in the Quran. This alone should suffice
to emphasize the importance of reading.
Reading is known to expand our knowledge, stimulate our brain, and enhance our imagination,
among a host of other benefits. And so, reading books is known to inspire our thoughts and
shape our persona. Therefore, it is imperative that we be mindful of what we are feeding our
children’s minds with.
Books in this section have been carefully picked to be in alignment with the children’s morals and
values. We also offer books that provide representation and better understanding of children
about themselves and others.
With books, you are never lonely!
Go ahead, choose a book to read!
Happy reading to you
