Who We Are

The Darul Uloom was established in 1986 with the vision of empowering Muslims and Muslimahs with the knowledge of the Noble Qur'aan and the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — with the aim of living our lives in the shade of the Qur'aan and Sunnah.

We endeavour to facilitate each and every Muslim and Muslimah to fulfil their incumbent duty of learning Islam, with a multitude of classes on offer at different times and for different durations.

Remember — it is never too late to learn the Qur'aan. It is our obligation as Muslims.

"And the messenger said: Oh My Rabb! Certainly my people have abandoned this Qur'aan."

Surah al-Furqaan, Verse 30

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawzi Rahimahullah comments: Abandonment of the Qur'aan includes not listening to and believing in it, not practising on it, not using it as one's judiciary system, and not pondering on its meanings.
