Al-Amin Ethics Institute (AEI) was founded in 2024 by Shaykh Mohammed Amin Kholwadia, the founder and President of Darul Qasim College, an institute of higher Islamic learning. Shaykh Amin is an active advocate of the classical Sunni tradition of Islamic scholarship and a passionate promoter of traditional Islamic sciences and methodologies of teaching and learning. He is regarded internationally as an expert theologian, exegete and an authority in the fields of Islamic legal philosophy and the fiqh of bioethics.
Al-Amin Ethics Institute promotes principled Muslim leadership, ethical clarity, and moral courage rooted in the Islamic tradition. We cultivate integrity through scholarship, practice, and community.
Empowering communities through principled scholarship and ethical leadership
We ground ethical excellence in three interconnected pillars that transform knowledge into action
Rigorous study of classical and contemporary Islamic ethics, grounded in authentic sources and scholarly tradition. We dive deep into the textual foundations of moral excellence.
Applied ethics for real-world challenges. We equip students with tools to navigate contemporary moral dilemmas with wisdom, courage, and Islamic principles.
Building networks of principled leaders who support each other in living ethically. We create spaces for dialogue, mentorship, and collective growth in moral excellence.
"Al-Amin" means "The Trustworthy" — the title given to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) even before his prophethood. This name embodies our commitment to integrity, reliability, and moral excellence.
We exist to address a critical gap: the need for deep, principled ethical education that equips Muslims to lead with integrity in complex modern contexts.
Through rigorous scholarship, practical application, and community support, we cultivate leaders who embody Islamic values in their personal lives, professions, and communities.
