About Us

We’re tackling social issues through Islamic learning and applied knowledge. We’re uplifting our community by reconnecting to the Prophetic Way.

EDUCATION
At OCC, we believe that the condition of our society depends on two things: our connection with our Prophetic traditions; and our level of traditional Islamic Education. That’s why we work to provide our community with opportunities for learning. We run weekly classes and regular courses, and organise annual retreats. Students of all ages can study aspects of their religion with qualified, enthusiastic teachers grounded in the fundamentals of Islamic knowledge.
TRANSFORMATION
For knowledge to be truly transformative, it must be combined with implementation and self-discipline. At OCC, we facilitate activities and safe spaces which enable personal development. These include Prophetic sports like archery, swimming, and martial arts; as well as weekly gatherings for remembrance (dhikr and burda) and meditation/reflection (tafakkur). Our aim is to cultivate and nurture individuals in all their human dimensions – physical, mental and spiritual.
SERVICE
A fundamental aspect of the Prophetic Way is serving God through serving others. It’s little wonder then that giving back boosts personal well-being and is so rewarding. At OCC, we encourage our students and participants to benefit others after benefitting themselves. We inspire them to engage with the wider community and broaden the realm of benefit.
