Our Mission
To help every child become a practising Muslim with strong Islamic character and a firm foundation in their deen.

Following the Sunnah
Learning to live by the example of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Curriculum
Qur'an studies and Islamic manners
A focused weekend programme built around two essentials: a strong relationship with the Qur'an and the beautiful character of a Muslim.
Islamic Manners
Children learn the beautiful character of a Muslim through lessons on kindness, honesty, respect, patience and responsibility. Manners are practised in class and encouraged at home, helping every child grow in Akhlaq.

Parent Testimonials
Trusted by families learning online
“We live outside Luton, so the online classes have been a blessing. My son gets the same quality teaching from Ustadha Om Ziyad at home and still looks forward to every lesson.”
“I was worried online Qur'an lessons wouldn't work for a 7-year-old, but Ustadha Om Ziyad keeps her engaged. She now recites Surahs confidently over video.”
“The online setup is well organised and safe. As a parent you feel completely at ease while your child learns from home.”
“My daughter was shy at first, but Ustadha Om Ziyad's friendly online classes brought her out of her shell. Her Tajweed has improved more in one term than in two years elsewhere.”
“Only 1 to 5 children per online group means Ustadha Om Ziyad gives every child attention. My son isn't lost in a crowd — he is known and encouraged.”
“The classes are interactive, not just screen-watching. My child raises his hand, reads aloud, and enjoys the activities just like being in a real classroom.”
“After only one term online, my daughter can read from the Qur'an with Tajweed rules I never learned myself. The progress has been remarkable.”
“We receive detailed termly reports and the online parents' evening is so helpful. Even from a distance, we feel involved in our child's Islamic journey.”
“From the first enquiry to the online assessment and joining Ustadha Om Ziyad's class, everything was professional, friendly, and easy. Highly recommend to any family.”
