Madina Institute

What Madina Institute does

Madina Institute is a private educational institution headquartered in Duluth, Georgia (Atlanta metro area), that delivers structured programs in Islamic and Arabic studies to individual learners, aspiring community leaders, Islamic chaplains, and youth/family counselors. The institution currently offers four core program formats: a one-year in-person intensive in Islamic and Arabic Studies at the Duluth campus, online one-year programs in Quranic Arabic and combined Islamic & Arabic Studies, an online 10-month Conversational Arabic program, and a Weekend Foundational Islamic Studies program. The curriculum spans 50+ courses across 20+ subjects including Quranic Sciences, Hadith, Theology (Aqidah), Islamic Leadership, Chaplaincy & Counseling, and Nonviolence & Peace Studies, developed under the direction of Shaykh Dr. Muhammad bin Yahya Al Ninowy and delivered by 15+ faculty members with 100+ cumulative years of teaching experience.

The institute has no proprietary technology platform in the conventional software sense; its "technology" footprint consists of digital content delivery (online live instructor-led sessions, video streaming) and the Madina TV media platform, which hosts over 1,000 hours of lectures, khutbahs, podcasts, and live events. There is no app, no API, no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, and no integration ecosystem referenced in the source materials.

On the commercial side, Madina Institute operates a sales-led, admissions-driven model with dedicated admissions counselors and program interest forms feeding prospective students into the application pipeline. The institution does not publicly disclose tuition pricing, requiring direct inquiry. Revenue is generated from tuition and program fees, supplemented by donations through the Education Fund and the Hope Scholarship Fund. The business serves four primary persona segments — individual seekers of Islamic knowledge, community leaders and imams, Islamic chaplains, and youth/family counselors — primarily as a B2C/individual consumer offering rather than enterprise B2B sales.
