Islamic Culture Society

History of Establishment

Founded in 1944, the Islamic Culture Society was established by a group of visionary leaders who dedicated themselves to creating schools grounded in the noble values of Islam. Their mission was to nurture generations of young men and women inspired by the guidance of the Holy Qur’an and the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

From the very beginning, the schools embraced an approach that combined Sharia-based principles with a strong, faith-driven commitment to knowledge and scientific inquiry—all in pursuit of the pleasure of Almighty Allah.

In 1946, the Islamic Educational College opened its first campus in Jabal Amman, marking the beginning of a journey in excellence and education. This vision expanded further with the establishment of the Jubaiha campus in 1988, continuing the legacy of shaping future leaders rooted in values, knowledge, and service.
