Who We Are

More Than Just a Boarding School,
We Are Family.

Founded by Halim Ambiya on February 8, 2012, Tasawuf Underground has become a safe space for the marginalized. We believe that every human being, no matter how dark their past, has the potential for Divine light within them.

Our main focus is to embrace street youth, punks, and other marginalized groups with compassion, humanizing them, and guiding them to find the map back home to Allah without an ounce of judgment.

Our Approach

Touching Hearts, Healing Minds

Sufism Approach

Introducing the concept of Divine Love (Mahabbah). Cleansing the heart (Tazkiyatun Nafs) from past inner wounds through Dhikr and peaceful spiritual approaches.

Spiritual Psychotherapy

Combining modern psychological counseling with Islamic monotheism values to heal trauma, addiction, and identity crises frequently experienced by street youth.

Non-Judgmental

Accepting them as they are, without looking at physical appearance, tattoos, or their past. We provide a halfway house full of acceptance.

What We Do

Sustainable Goodwill Programs

Education

Marginalized Islamic Education

Equipping street students with basic religious knowledge (reading & writing the Quran, daily worship, monotheism) using a friendly and applicable curriculum.

Empowerment

Social & Economic Empowerment

Job skills training and providing coffee shops/micro-businesses so they can become financially independent and ready to rejoin society.

Digital Da'wah

Digital Da'wah & Literacy

Utilizing social media to spread peaceful Islamic teachings and embrace youth more broadly through positive literacy programs.

Media Coverage

Footprints in the Media
