Current Work
Our organization has been involved in various projects aimed at promoting Islamic education and community development. The New Muslim Project helps new converts navigate their spiritual journey, while the University Chaplaincy provides support to Muslim students on campus. The Auckland City Islamic Centre will serve as a hub for the local Muslim community, offering daily prayers and a range of educational and social activities. Al-Hikmah Youth is a program that empowers young Muslims through leadership training and community service. The House of Wisdom is a learning organisation that offers courses in Islamic studies, language, and culture. Finally, the Gift a Smile project provides aid to disadvantaged communities, both locally and internationally. Through these initiatives, we strive to promote the values of compassion, inclusivity, and social responsibility.

Auckland City Islamic Centre
The Auckland City Islamic Centre is our vision for a space that consolidates all of Al-Hikmah Trust's activities under one roof. With 4 floors of purpose-built spaces, the centre will feature a cafe and exhibition space, a House of Wisdom for learning and education, a basketball court that can be used as a Jummah prayer hall, and a daily prayer space.
This Centre will be a beacon of hope and inspiration for the Muslim community in Auckland, a space for learning, growth, and reflection. We are still fundraising for this project, but with your support, we can make it a reality. Join us in building a brighter future for our community.

House of Wisdom
House of Wisdom aims to provide students with an opportunity to understand Islam through courses taught by experts in various subjects. To start, we offer courses in the Arabic Language and Quranic science of Tajweed. Courses in Islamic history, Social sciences and more will be offered in the future. It's through knowledge and understanding that we can build bridges with our wider community, and spread the light of this beautiful way of life. Find out more here

Our goal is to create a safe and nurturing space that inspires and uplifts new Muslims, empowering them to live their best lives as faithful members of our community.
