Welcome to “Dar al-Salam” School of Learning

Dar al-Salam: A school project in Mauritania for the teaching of sacred Islamic sciences (Aqeedah, Ihsan, Tajwid, Tafsir, and many more) in an effort to preserve Islamic texts and traditions. The name Dar al-Salaam is also one of the names of the city of the Prophet and in the Quran, Allah calls to this name.

In 1996, prior to the inception of this project, Shaykh Saleck bin Siddina began the foundations for this school by teaching Quran, Islamic law, and numerous other subjects to children and adults of all ages out of his home in Kiffa. The Dar al-Salam project was established to form a permanent place for men, women, and children of all ages to train with the utmost care to become excellent students, and later, teachers of sacred knowledge.
