Our Name
The Arabic word “Riwaq” means arch or arcade. “Riwaqs” are found in many of the marvelous mosques around the world, particularly between the courtyard and the inner area of the mosque.
The Riwaq provided shade to the occasional traveler or visitor of the mosque. More importantly it became the area in which traditional circles of knowledge formed and classes would gather to pass down the sacred sciences, generation to generation.
Even today many great mosques around the world hold classes under their “Riwaqs.”
