About Us
Iqra Rauzatul Atfal is a premier religious and educational institution where a beautiful fusion of religious sciences and contemporary arts/sciences is found. Iqra is that pioneering religious institution that took up the mantle of educating and nurturing the youth of the Ummah on religious foundations at a time when secular environments had engulfed them.
The founder of the Iqra Educational System based the curriculum on the teaching and memorization of the Holy Quran, so that religion and faith become ingrained in children from a young age. This ensures that the lost blessing of Quranic memorization returns to our homes and hearts, illuminating our lives in this world and the hereafter through its radiance.
The Quranic mission of Iqra Rauzatul Atfal is not affiliated with any specific individual or organization. Its purpose is not the acquisition of wealth, fame, or worldly honor. Rather, its foundation is to provide the Muslim community with a style of education that reminds every Muslim of their lost heritage, creates a yearning for its attainment in every heart, and equips every child with the knowledge of both religion and the world through the best upbringing, setting them on the path to success.
