From Director's Desk Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Assalamalaikumwarahmatullahiwabarakatuhu

As you can see from the summary below, the work alhamdulillah is expanding steadily. Simultaneously, it is putting strains on our capacity to support the setup. With the help of Allah and then the supporters like you, we are able to reach so far. May Allah accept it from you and us. PLEEEASE HELP US: Almost 30 new schools are ready to implement our course. The challenge here is that we have to start paying for the salary of the teacher at least for first couple of months and up to a year. A teacher’s salary (starts with) Rs 8000. With that amount, the teacher teaches almost 150 students for 25 days. So, for approx. 300 Rs/day, you will be helping 150 students to study the Qur’an (or Rs 2 per child!). That is an excellent investment, especially at a time when our children are exposed to so much of anti-Islam propaganda in addition to the massive exposure of evils through TV and internet. I request brothers/sisters to come forward with full/half/quarter sponsorships for the teacher. May Allah bless you and your resources. Abdulazeez Abdulraheem

Our Vision:

– To remove the illiteracy of the Qur’an from the current generation and to bring up a Qur’anic generation for future so that they can practice as well as be able to convey the message of Qur’an to the whole humanity.

– To present the Qur’an in its reality, i.e., the most interesting, the most relevant book for day-to-day activities as well as the most important book for success in this life as well as in the hereafter.

Please note that:

– The objective is not to produce scholars of the Qur’an. There are many institutions, which are doing this.

– It is for a common non-Arab Muslim so that he is aware of Allah’s guidance.

Our mission

– Teach the Qur’an in the easiest possible way for adults, teens, and children from schools and colleges, and madrassahs.

– Prepare Qur’an Centric Islamic studies

An introduction to our courses is given in the next page.
