Our story
About Us
Welcome to TAIF, where excellence in Islamic Finance education empowers professionals and students to thrive in a Shari’ah-compliant financial world.
TAIF: The new journey, tough, difficult, and challenging, but on the path to eternal success.
After 10 years of preaching in Mecca, Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him had no significant success so he decided to try new venues of dawah – the garden city of TAIF. The response there was completely reverse of the expectations. They not only refused to listen but misbehaved and mistreated the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him and even injured him. But this apparently failed mission brought the message of Islam out from the tiny confines of the valley of Mecca and presented it to the whole world out there.
This journey of the Prophet Peace Be Upon Him is a key inspiration for us as it reveals to us these valuable learnings :
- Move out of your comfort zone
- You may apparently fail initially, but your trust in Allah, your sincere efforts, your commitment to the purpose, and your steadfastness will bring you ultimately glory
- Every pain is followed by comfort
We are starting this journey with a commitment to sincerely facilitate the promotion of Islamic finance as an economic solution that the world needs by offering digital learnings in Islamic finance.
Dua of Prophet Muhammad SAW-Peace Be Upon Him:
“I would, however, be much happier with Your mercy. I seek refuge in the light of Your face by which all darkness is dispelled and both this life and the life to come are put in their right course against incurring your wrath or being the subject of your anger. To You, I submit until I earn Your pleasure. Everything is powerless without your support.”
