Welcome to the Darul Uloom
About Us
Alhamdulillah, through the grace and mercy of Allah, the Darul Uloom Trinidad and Tobago, (est. 1984) has been rendering an invaluable service to Muslims throughout the Western Hemisphere in the field of Islamic Education.
The main objective of the Institute is to impart a sound Islamic as well as, Academic education, along with good morals and etiquettes to all Muslims. Activities at the Darul Uloom Colleges include education in both Islamic and Academic studies, and services in Counselling, Mediation, issuing formal religious verdicts, Halaal Certification and moon sighting information. Through these efforts, it is hoped that the teachings of the religion of Islam will be established in its pristine purity throughout this land and around the world.
The Darul Uloom consists of a Boys’ College at Rashaad Avenue, Mon Plasir Road, Cunupia, and a Girls’ College at Cunupia Street, Southern Main Road, Cunupia. Both Institutes offer full-time and part-time tuition and have facilities for boarding.
At present, full-time enrolment at the Boys’ College is 140, of which 17 are resident on the compound. This includes foreign students from United States of America, Guyana, Suriname and Canada.
Enrolment in the part-time classes is 236 students. Besides the ancillary staff, there are 26 teachers at the Boys’ College. The present enrolment at the Darul Uloom Girls’ College is 166 of which 15 are boarding. This includes foreign students from Guyana, Suriname and Barbados. Besides the ancillary staff, there are 19 teachers at the Girls College.
At Darul Uloom, along with an Islamic and Academic education, great emphasis is placed on Islamic morals and values. In public schools where lewdness, crimes and violence are commonplace, our Institute offers a stable environment where values like discipline, good conduct and morals are entwined within the curriculum, so that our graduates will be able to face the moral and spiritual challenges of our society
Our vision at the Darul Uloom Trinidad and Tobago is to impart a sound Islamic as well as academic education along with good morals and etiquettes, producing graduates who will sincerely obey Allah and the Messenger (ﷺ), and will efficiently serve the cause of Islam fulfilling their responsibility of family life, such that they become beneficial to themselves, their family members and the Muslim community and the society at large.

Fasting in Islam according to the laws of the Shariah is to abstain/refrain during the day (from the true dawn until sunset), from intentionally (deliberately) or mistakenly (accidentally) entering / inserting anything into the stomach or that which has the ruling of being internal, like the brain, and abstaining from fulfilling sexual desires, with the intention of a worship to Allah, from one who is fit/qualified to observe the fast’.1
The above definition explains that fasting in Islam is to abstain from all breakers of the fast with an intention for the sake of Allah during the time for the fast. The great Jurist, Allama Ala Ad Deen Abideen (D. 1306 AH) has also given the definition, stating that it is to abstain from eating, drinking , sexual relations and all other breakers of fast from the beginning of true dawn until sunset for the sake of Allah (that is, as a form of worship to Allah).2
The fast of Ramadhan is a personal obligation upon one who meets the following conditions:-
- Being a Muslim. This means that it is not compulsory upon one who is not a Muslim and does not follow the religion of Islam.
- Sanity. That is, it is not compulsory upon one who is insane or suffers from mental disorder.
Tafseer
Surah Al Hujuraat states in verse 12 & 13
- O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it. And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts repentance, Most Merciful.
This verse, like the previous one, highlights certain injunctions regarding rights and etiquettes that are connected to one’s social life. Three prohibitions have been given in the verse, which are considered to be totally Haraam in Islam.
Dhikr
DUA TO BE RECITED WHEN FEELING DISTRESSED
Anas bn Mālik (R.A) narrates that when the Prophet ﷺ would be distressed, he would recite the following. (Tirmidhī 3524)
يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ ، بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيْثُ
Yā Ḥayyu yā Qayyūm, bi-raḥmatika astaghīth.
‘O The Ever Living, The One Who sustains and protects all that exists; I seek assistance through Your Mercy’.
