Founded by Dr. AbdurRahman Isbieh & Shaykha Ayesha Sultana, Hibr Institute is an Islamic college and organization of scholars in Princeton, New Jersey dedicated to preserving and spreading the Islamic sciences and beautiful Islamic values in the United States and globally.

Hibr in Arabic means scholar, sage, saint, & ink. The title “Hibr ul Ummah” or Scholar of the Ummah, was given to the noble companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Abdullah Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them). He was a shining scholar in the early days of Islam and led the way with love and light. Even today, Hibr is inspired and aspires to follow in his noble legacy in spreading the Light and Love of God.

Hibr Institute is dedicated to providing college and graduate level courses that are flexible for students & professionals with full-time careers. Hibr also provides general Islamic education, Qur’an, and Arabic language for all ages and levels.

Along with mentoring scholars and educating the next generation of Islamic thinkers and influencers, our vision at Hibr Institute is not only to be the most inspiring Muslim college on the East Coast, but also the most inviting, as we work within the Muslim and Non-Muslim community to shine the light of Islam.

No matter how near or distant the path to paradise may feel, every tree begins as a seedling. With sincere care & nourishment, every seedling sprouts to yield wondrous fruit. At Hibr Institute, we intend to harvest the Light within us. May God help us in spreading His divine Light & Love so we may leave behind a legacy that the Messenger of Allah is proud of on the Day of Resurresction.
