In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Assalamo alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatoh!

The motto of Lajna Imāillāh is: “No nation can progress without educating their women”. By the grace of Allah, ‘Aisha Academy Canada is serving the educational needs of Lajna Imāillāh.

Ahmadī women have a crucial role in the upbringing of our future generations. Attaining profound understanding of Islāmic teachings enables them to instill strong religious foundations and moral values in their children.

Aims and objectives of Lajna Imāillāh, state that “It is necessary that women start increasing their knowledge and spread this knowledge to other women ….”

Knowledge and services of Lajna Imāillāh is particularly important in western society where anti-Islām fervour is ever increasing. The Founder of Lajna Imāillāh, Hazrat Khalīfatul Masīḥ II (may Allah be pleased with him!) provided a solution, stating:

“The enmity for Islām, that is instilled in children through women (mothers) in anti-Islām circles, can be countered only through our women. Further, if a spirit of sacrifice can be created in children, then that can also only occur through mothers. Thus, besides their own spiritual and academic progress, the progress of the future Jamā‘at is mostly dependent upon the efforts of women, since the influence, which children retain when grown up, is not as deep as is retainable in childhood. Similarly, the reformation of women can also occur through women.”

‘Aisha Academy Canada provides an opportunity for the Ahmadī Muslim girls and women of all ages to enhance their religious knowledge and be a part of spiritually enriched society. 

Our beloved Imam, Hazrat Khalīfatul Masīḥ V (may Allah be his Helper!) takes keen interest in the upbringing and empowerment of Ahmadī Muslim women. Huzoorᵃᵃ instructed in June 2012, that “the education of ladies is of utmost importance and at least 25% of [our] ladies should obtain education at the ‘Aisha Academy”.

In accordance with the blessed guidance, the National Ta‘līm Department and ‘Aisha Academy Board is working diligently to uphold superior teaching and learning standards and to provide exceptional learning experiences for Ahmadī girls and women.

Responsibilities of Ahmadī Muslim women extend beyond gaining worldly knowledge. They must attain deep understanding of religion and promote a lifestyle that exemplifies true Islāmic teachings.

I pray that ‘Aisha Academy Canada continues to be a source of enlightenment and growth for generations to come. May Allah guide the leadership and staff of the institution and grant them passion and dedication to uphold the highest educational standards! May He enable them to provide exemplary learning experience to Ahmadī girls and women!

May all those who come to learn in this institution be in complete obedience to Khilafat! May they fill their lives with peace, wisdom, compassion, and knowledge! Ameen!

‘Aisha Academy Canada is the premier religious education institute for Ahmadī women. It caters to both Waqifāt Nau and those who are not part of the Waqf Nau scheme but wish to increase their religious education.

Huzoorᵃᵃ in his 2023 Lajna UK Ijtimā‘ address referred to a speech by Hazrat Musleh Mau‘ūdʳᵃ who discussed the standards of faith to which Ahmadī Muslim women should aspire. Hazrat Musleh Mau‘ūdʳᵃ stated: “It is true that Islām has prescribed a division of labor wherein men are given the principal responsibility for providing financially for their family, while women are given the primary duty of running the home affairs and morally training their children. Irrespective of this distinction, Islām has greatly emphasized the importance of educating girls and ladies so that their potential is unlocked and they become assets to their community…Furthermore, being educated will enable mothers to nurture and guide their children in such a way that they develop into well-rounded and responsible citizens who contribute positively to their communities.”

Huzoorᵃᵃ also said: “In order to be successful in Tabligh, you must seek to increase your religious knowledge. Always remember that today, knowledge and prayers are our only weapons of choice in the cause of spreading Islām. In front of all Ahmadī women is the example of Hazrat Aishaʳᵃ, who, in terms of religious knowledge, attained a rank far beyond the men of her time, or indeed, any other era.”

Then Huzoorᵃᵃ said: “Women have the potential to scale the greatest intellectual heights, and so you must never underestimate yourselves. Rather, seek to fulfill your rich potential, as it will provide you with the capability to raise your children in a way that they grow to be beneficial to society. It will also enable you to defend your faith and beliefs.”

“These days, once again, the Khatam-e-Nabuwat issue, i.e., the Finality of Prophethood, is being raised very loudly by our opponents as they seek to incite people against Ahmadiyyat. They claim we don’t believe the Holy Prophetˢᵃʷ to be the Seal of the Prophets. In this regard, it was a woman who provided the answer to this question long ago. Hazrat Aishaʳᵃ said, “Say, he is the Seal of the Prophets, but do not say that there is no prophet after him.” With these insightful and profound words, Hazrat Aishaʳᵃ settled the debate by clarifying that while the Holy Prophetˢᵃʷ was the final law-bearing prophet, the door to prophethood remained open. She made this statement due to her wisdom and foresight as she recognized the future dissent over this issue. Regrettably, so-called Muslim clerics who consider themselves scholarly and wise, have fallen prey to the ignorance and falsehood that Hazrat Aishaʳᵃ tried to save the Muslim ummah from.”

Huzoorᵃᵃ said: “So now it lies in the hands of the Ahmadī women to strive to emulate the example of Hazrat Aishaʳᵃ and guide the world.”

Thus, ‘Aisha Academy Canada is named after Hazrat Aishaʳᵃ, and this institution aims to provide a solid religious education to Ahmadī women to increase their knowledge and intellect for serving Islām, and nurturing and guiding their children. I pray that this institution can fulfill this goal.

In the Name of Allah, The Gracious, The Merciful

May peace and blessings be upon you all, Ameen!

Seeking knowledge holds a sacred place in Islam. Allah states in the Holy Qur’an, “Allah will raise those who believe from among you, and those to whom knowledge is given, to degrees of rank.” (58:13). The Holy Prophet (sas) also taught, “Whoever takes a path upon which to obtain knowledge, Allah makes the path to Paradise easy for him.” (Tirmidhi). These two teachings highlight the importance of seeking knowledge and encourage us to make it a priority in our lives. The Holy Prophet (sas) also informed us that in chaotic latter days, it is the Promised Messiah (as) who will re-distribute treasures of once forgotten spiritual truths to the world.Hazrat Musleh Mau’ud (ra) emphasized that the moral and spiritual progress of a nation depends upon the education and righteousness of its women. Inspired by this guidance, we believe that empowered, knowledgeable women are the foundation of strong families and a thriving Jama’at.

As Ahmadi women and girls, it is our duty to receive this knowledge to strengthen our faith, refine our character, and raise future Jama’at members who will serve our community and others with sincerity, and help spread the true teachings of Islam to the four corners of the world.

‘Aisha Academy Canada is dedicated to supporting this mission by providing structured, online Islamic education in a nurturing and spiritually enriching environment. Our goal is to help every student grow in understanding, confidence, and a stronger connection to Allah, making lifelong learning a means of faith, service, and spiritual excellence. We invite you to start your journey by joining ‘Aisha Academy Canada today!
