Why choose MQA?

We understand that children are our future. Our qualified teachers and dedicated staff are committed to providing excellent Islamic education.

MQA welcomes and celebrates diversity, which we believe reflects the beauty of our community. Every child is welcome, regardless of race, ethnicity or ability. Keeping in mind children with special needs, we also include an SEN department.​

To supplement the teaching, we intend to offer extra-curricular activities at the centre, such as karate classes, scouts, trips to parks, etc. Dhikr and nasheed practice will also be part of the learning experience at MQA.

Education


​At Manchester Qur’an Academy, we have developed a syllabus that will provide our students with everything a young Muslim needs to know about their faith. A well rounded purposeful education taught within a positive spiritual environment, inspiring and engaging children of mixed abilities to become beacons of light within their own homes and our community.
●       Tajweed
●       Purification & Prayer (Salat)
●       Memorisation of short surahs
●       Daily duas      
●       Life of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
●       Stories from the Qur’an
●       The five pillars of Islam
●       The six articles of Imaan
●   
    Dedicated classes for SEN students

Moral and Spiritual Excellence

Faith is inseparable from good character and excellent moral conduct. How well we treat our fellow humans, and how we interact with the world around us in general, are all important aspect of being a good Muslim.

At Manchester Qur’an Academy we aspire to nurture the purity and innocence of our children by providing them with the opportunity to learn and reflect upon their role in and of this world, as well as supporting and enabling their spiritual growth.

We believe the key to moral and spiritual excellence lies in instilling love and consciousness of Allah and a stronger attachment and love of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ..

Every child is born pure and innocent, but as the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. Let us together lay the foundation that will encourage and strengthen our children.
