‘Dallas College’, a name which can be considered a symbol of a fateful confluence. The College is the centre-point of various axes that meet; it is both a beginning and an end. On one side of the line are the European sciences and philosophy, and on the other side the Islamic Revelation and Law. They have been brought together in one spiritual event by the founder of this College whose family name it also bears: Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi. Both lines of knowledge meet in this College in South Africa, and in doing so form a completely new spiritual and intellectual location.
The College deals primarily with the following fields:
Language Geopolitics Technology Law – that is, Fiqh
This means it involves ‘being-in-the-world’ in the broadest sense, meaning the understanding of the event of the creation itself in which we are taking part. Our young men and women will be studying in the midst of this dynamic South African community, and in doing so will take to heart the Hadith of the Prophet recorded in the Sahih Collection of Tirmidhi: “Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, said, ‘A man is on the same Deen as his companion – so each of you should look to whom he takes as companions.’”

Famous quotes containing the words dallas and/or college:
“In its artless cruelty, Dallas is superior to any “intelligent” critique that can be made of it. That is why intellectual snobbery meets its match here.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something. If college boys are solemnly advised to listen to lectures on prostitution, they will listen; and who is to blame if some time, in a less moral moment, they profit by their information?”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
