Aspiring Pens
Tafakkur Institute classroom

Higher education as
it should have been

Tafakkur is the subsidiary institution of Aspiring Pens
approaching global literature and lost islamic literary heritage
with deep contemplation and prophetic methologies.

The Starting Point.

Do not sit with every presumptuous caller who summons you from certainty to doubt, from sincerity to showing off, from humility to pride, from good counsel to enmity, and from abstinence to desire. Draw near to the person with knowledge, who summons you from pride to humility, from showing off to sincerity, from doubt to certainty, from desire to abstinence, from enmity to good counsel.

Prophet Muhammad (Blessings & Peace be upon him)
