Principal’s message

Our institution is dedicated to producing Huffaaz and Ulama while ensuring academic and spiritual growth. Students from across the country travel to enrol in our specialist courses in Quran memorisation and in-depth Islamic theology. The certificate awarded upon completion is recognised globally, equipping our graduates to serve as Imams, teachers, community leaders, and advisors. In addition, we also support students in completing their GCSEs alongside the Tahfeez and Alimiyyah programmes, ensuring they have pathways into colleges, apprenticeships, and higher education.

We believe that young British-born Muslims studying Islam and theology are uniquely positioned to meet the needs of the UK Muslim community while making meaningful contributions to wider society. To facilitate this, we prioritise a personalised approach to teaching. Our small class sizes allow teachers to establish strong, positive connections with students, ensuring each child is guided to reach their full potential—both intellectually and in their unique personal development.

For our boarding students, we have created a residence that mirrors family life, providing structure and consistency through dedicated supervisors who offer guidance and care throughout the week. The Darul Uloom thrives on strong relationships—our dedicated team works tirelessly to educate and mentor our students, and we firmly believe that education is a partnership between home and school. We highly value the role of parents as active partners in their child’s education, and we take great pride in the strong ties we have built with families and the local community.

Our close-knit community of students, parents, alumni, staff, and friends makes Darul Uloom Leicester a truly special place. If you are considering joining us, we warmly welcome you and look forward to supporting your child’s journey. We encourage you to explore our website, reach out to us, and visit our institution to experience the unique atmosphere of Darul Uloom Leicester.
