What is a Riwaq (رواق)?

In Islamic architecture, the riwaq is a corridor or space between two columns containing vertical arches or rows of columns. They are often found between the courtyards and inner areas of mosques. In the past, riwaqs were used as gathering places for traditional circles of knowledge. These spaces served as vibrant hubs for intellectual and spiritual growth.

Drawing inspiration from this rich heritage, Riwaq Alfalah seeks to revive the spirit of the traditional learning circles that once thrived within the riwaqs of mosques. Riwaq Alfalah aims to cultivate a nurturing environment where individuals of all ages can deepen their understanding of Islam. Under the guidance of Alfalah’s Religious Director, Dr. Ahmed Mohamed, our program offers a comprehensive curriculum encompassing various Islamic disciplines. From the foundational knowledge for young minds to advanced studies for seekers of deeper understanding, Riwaq Alfalah strives to cultivate a community deeply rooted in Islamic knowledge and values, empowering individuals to navigate their faith with confidence, understanding, and pride in their Islamic identity.
