About

Welcome to the New School.

  • Rooted in the primordial tradition of Abraham
  • Established for the ancient covenantal law
  • Grounded in revelation, reason, and historical truth

Our mission is to revive the primordial tradition of the Patriarchs with clarity and purpose, offering a compelling account of God’s order for the modern world.

Faith, Reason, Insight, Progress

Our school is intellectual, yet functional and unpretentious. It is modern, yet acutely informed by ancient history. It is open and welcoming, but with a strong sense of identity.

We passionately immerse ourselves in the contemporary applications of a revelation-first approach where the scriptures come to life and members develop and enhance their godly literacy along with practical competence through vocational learning and community. We aspire to a stimulating environment enlightened by analytical and principled thinking, imbued with relaxed excellence.

The New School

The term New School represents a revivalist vision with the aim of restoring the ancient tradition of the Patriarchs. This renewal means bringing back the unfiltered clarity of God's code. Not rewritten. Not watered down. Restored. 

This is the tradition of the Patriarchs — revived, recharged, and re-centred in a world that’s lost its axis. Our mission is to renew the legacy of Abraham and put God’s sovereignty back in the spotlight within the context of the English-speaking world. This is the path of the Hunafā, those who follow the tradition of Abraham and wholly submit to God alone. The final messenger of God, Muhammad, narrated from God: "I created My subjects Hunafā, but devils came and led them away from their code and made unlawful for them what I had made lawful."

This existential project is part of something older than history. We stand in the current of an ancient promise: “God will raise, at the peak of every hundred, those who will renew the code for this community.” It follows the path of the trustworthy — those who, generation after generation, carry the truth forward, “removing the distortions of extremists, the lies of false claimants, and the misinterpretations of the ignorant.” We reclaim the sacred code with a new energy, new language, and new tools.

This is the New School. Rooted in the ancient. Speaking in the present. Preparing for what’s to come.

A bold space to explore revelation and the covenantal code

Exploration, sense-making and public teaching remains the largest aspects of our activities. With ancient serenity and modern energy, we combine authentic, age-honoured scholarship with an innovative edge. Heritage meets a modern sense of rebellion where the modern rules are broken to renew the ancient. We see heritage as the start of our story, not the end. We continue to revisit our roots and look to the past to examine it from a fresh perspective.

This school is grounded in the power of basic, fundamental discovery and its potential to cultivate the way God's faithful see the world, leading to growth and improvements across personal and public endeavours.

Testimonials

Our students are intelligent, thoughtful non-specialists from all walks of life and every continent. Their voices speak to the impact: the New School doesn’t just inform, it transforms.

Umar A.

London, UK

"This school provides a profound, contextualised understanding of the prophetic narrative. The calibre of students and the resultant level of good natured, intellectual exploration with sincere believers was worth it alone. I cannot recommend this school highly enough."

Asif M.

Cambridge, UK

"The New School is a must for all believers wishing to level up their learning and functional knowledge. Mohammed Nizami is truly exceptional with his knowledge on the Quran, hadith, past scriptures and the history around them. I have learnt so much and will no doubt be continuing my journey at the New School."

Caroline M.

Atlanta, US

"The school is unlike anything I've ever encountered. It brought coherence to the covenantal tradition I always sensed was deeper than what I had been taught, whether as a Christian to a Muslim. The live lessons feel like sitting in learning circles from the ancient past, but speaking to the modern era."

Shuheb A.

London, UK

"The New School is not your typical school and its courses are not your typical courses. It is not theory for the sake of intellectual study, it is functional knowledge built from first principles that will shape your entire being. The cultivation and engagement from Sh. Nizami towards the cohort is what makes this virtual school feel very real through the weekly QAs, podcasts and forum discussions. As someone in my late 20s, studying at the New School has made me more positive, emotionally resilient and less anxious about the future, it has helped me to be in a constant state of gratitude and happiness. It has also made me wealthier and stronger. I’ve learned to think critically, to reason deeply, and to know when to simply let go!"

Safraz T.

London, UK

"Studying at the New School has been a truly transformative experience and one that has reshaped my understanding of faith, purpose, and tradition in the most profound way. At the heart of this transformation is Shaikh Nizami himself, a teacher of remarkable depth and vision, whose commitment to studying the Abrahamic tradition in its fullness, from its ancient origins to the final prophet Muhammad, and spans over two decades. His scholarship is not only vast but deeply rooted in sincerity, spiritual clarity, and a rare ability to communicate timeless truths in an age of confusion. I am deeply grateful for this school, and for the guidance of Shaikh Nizami. It has been nothing short of life-changing"

Riaz R.

London, UK

"Previously, it had been a struggle for me to really understand God and His guidance. When it came to articulating what God wanted from me practically in this life, I was still hazy. The courses at the New School have helped me massively in widening my perspective: to understand the contexts to which God was speaking across thousands of years and therefore truly appreciate how God's guidance becomes so relevant and needed today too. The courses and syllabus is rooted in the tradition of the ancients, but taught in a way that is refreshing and functional, and resonates strongly for the modern believer. I've gained clarity about what I need to do and how I need to improve myself. I highly recommend for others looking to do the same."

Founded in London but with international relevance

Founded in London, the city's impact on our school is best demonstrated by the its rich cosmopolitan environment: a modern city built on ancient ruins and a complex medieval history.

Our members enrol from every continent across the globe and many are accomplished in fields such as law, politics, public advocacy, medicine, engineering, business, academia and the media.

Why?

 

The Abrahamic covenant has been obscured in modern English discourse. "Religion" has drifted into ritualism and abstraction; politics into ideology and self-interest. Neither speaks meaningfully to the crises of our age.

Amid technological upheaval, ideological confusion, and widespread disenchantment, the hunger for clarity and meaning endures. The final revelation to Muhammad preserved the covenantal vision but its force has been dulled by dogma, distortion, and ethnocultural misappropriation.

We recover and rearticulate that vision: a way of life rooted in God’s law, aligned with the created order, and capable of renewing both soul and society. This is the tradition of Abraham. This is the restoration we are called to.

Our aim is to provide an awe-inspiring journey that will ignite your heart, fuel your mind, and inspire you to see and influence the world around you in new and radical ways.

Join us to spark your wonder and curiosity today, and inspire those of tomorrow.
