About the Weekend School

A Sunday academy that feels like family

Little Muslim Academy welcomes boys and girls aged 6 to 8 every Sunday in Luton: boys attend 9:00 am – 11:00 am and girls attend 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm.

Designed to sit alongside your child's regular schooling, our weekend programme gives children a structured, engaging Islamic education without overloading their week. Classes are small, teachers are patient and qualified, and safeguarding standards are uncompromising.

  • Fully DBS-checked, trained staff

  • Classes of 1–15 children, individual attention

  • Warm, encouraging discipline

  • Sundays only — no school-night rush

Our Mission

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

We teach knowledge that is acted upon. Alongside Qur'an and Islamic studies, our children build confidence, discipline, kindness, honesty, respect and responsibility — qualities that shape them at home, at school and throughout their lives, in shaa Allah.

  • Love of Allah

    A heart connected to its Creator from the earliest years.

  • Following the Sunnah

    Learning to live by the example of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

  • Excellent character

    Kindness, honesty, respect, patience and responsibility.

  • Joyful learning

    A positive, enjoyable experience children look forward to.

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.

Qur'an Studies

A structured programme that takes children from the Qaidah letters to fluent Qur'an recitation with correct Tajweed. They memorise short Surahs, learn daily duas, and build a lifelong love for the Book of Allah.

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.
Umm Ibrahim, Online Group
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.
Abdul Rahman, Online Group
The online setup is well organised and safe. As a parent you feel completely at ease while your child learns from home.
Fatima H., Online Group
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.
Ayesha K., Online Group
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.
Mohammed T., Online Group
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.
Hassan R., Online Group
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.
Saira M., Online Group
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.
Yusuf A., Online Group
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.
Nadia S., Online Group
