Academic and intellectual pursuits have the power to transform the world. The modern era pays testimony to their impact. Ideas are the lifeblood of civilisation and they begin the moment ink has been spilled. However, thoughts are not imprisoned on the paper they are written on, they penetrate the hearts and minds of people, subsequently changing their behaviour. A cursory glance at the history of ideas is enough to show how powerful they are.
Ideas take time to develop and filter down to the general population. They require inspired minds and liberated hearts to share them to all levels of society. In the perennial war of ideas, they also require defending. Sapience Institute was created to dedicate itself to articulate message of Islam using intellectual and academic methods, with a focus on developing and creating intellectual and academic activists and leaders to engage in this important work.
Sapience is dedicated in living up its values of compassion, truth and tolerance.
Sapience means wisdom, insight, great intelligence or knowledge. The name is inspired by the following Qur’anic verse: Say, “This is my way; I invite to God with deep insight, I and those who follow me. And exalted is God; and I am not of those who associate others with Him.” The Qur’an, Chapter 12, Verse 108

You can support one da’ee that can get 50 shahādahs in a year, or you can support an organisation that develops thousands of du’āt which may increase the number to hundreds of thousands of shahādas. In fact, if you support an organisation that develops future leaders of da’wah organisations across the world, the numbers end up being astronomical.
وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌۭ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ ۚ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ
“Let there be a group among you who call (others) to goodness, encourage what is good, and forbid what is evil—it is they who will be successful.”
[The Qur’ān: 3:104]
Our work at Sapience Institute develops these thousands of du’āt and empowers the leaders of future organisations. Do not miss out on the immense reward.
One intellectual warrior (da’ee, pl. du’āt) with the proper da’wah training can help put a stop to this. They will be empowered to share and defend Islām intellectually, destroy doubts, and overcome the enemies to bring us victory. But is having only a few du’āt enough? Imagine what we could achieve if we had an army of well-trained du’āt.
وَأُخْرَىٰ تُحِبُّونَهَا ۖ نَصْرٌۭ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَتْحٌۭ قَرِيبٌۭ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
“(He will also give you) another favour that you long for: help from Allāh ﷻ and an imminent victory. (So) give good news (O Prophet) to the believers.”
[The Qur’an: 61:13]
Will you step up, reap the immense rewards and lead Islām to victory?
بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِٱلْحَقِّ عَلَى ٱلْبَـٰطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُۥ فَإِذَا هُوَ زَاهِقٌۭ ۚ وَلَكُمُ ٱلْوَيْلُ مِمَّا تَصِفُونَ
“No! We hurl the truth against falsehood, and truth obliterates it—see how falsehood vanishes away!”
[The Qur’ān: 3:104]

Meezan Wealth is an Islamically-based financial company that offers financial services to Muslims within Australia. They came to Whiteflame as a relatively new company with decades of experience between the individual members who founded Meezan. As a fresh institution, they required our assistance establishing themselves in the social sphere and creating a lasting impact within the Australian Muslim community.
Meezan’s CEO, Rokibul understood the importance of a solid marketing campaign in promoting the legitimacy and professionalism of Meezan Wealth. We worked with them to create a comprehensive, long-term marketing campaign that aimed to promote awareness and lead to wide-reaching change in this niche industry.
For an industry with a limited number of competitors, we took advantage of overtaking slow moving trends and worked hard at promoting Meezan’s fresh face and tech friendly features – something difficult to find with their competitors – promoting Meezan’s approachable, up-to-date and accessible nature.
Our cohesive social media marketing campaign involved posting 3x a week, photography shoots, graphic design, website design, blog writing as well as an extensive paid ads campaign.
Our account manager worked with our paid ads expert and experienced graphic designers to create and a unified marketing campaign that targeted audience pain points and accessed the right target market.
We worked with the Meezan Wealth team to grasp a deeper understanding of their financial services and how we can use this to target pain points within the community. Our consistent and effective posting increased following and engagement of their social media platforms. We highlighted the tech-savvy and accessible components of Meezan Wealth which were not common within their industry and thus established a strong point of difference from their competitors. We also made sure to showcase the essence of the business; working with and for the Muslim community to increase their financial wellbeing and help make them better off.
