Our Mission

IQRA’s mission is to translate the command revealed to Prophet Mohammad (s) into practical reality by producing comprehensive, integrated, and systematic Islamic education that utilizes quality literature, and training programs for teachers, school administrators, parents and all members of the community.

If there is one phrase that encapsulates the vision of IQRA’ International Educational Foundation it is, “Read in the name of your Lord Who created.” (Surah al-‘Alaq 96:1). This revelation which descended upon the Prophet Muhammad (S) over 1,440 years ago is what infuses IQRA’s goal to cultivate a community of excellence with strength of spirit and professionalism. “Read!” is a Divine instruction which IQRA’ takes to heart with the utmost gravity in its determination to globally provide the best possible Islamic education to children and young adults.

IQRA’ believes that all Muslims have an obligation and responsibility to exhibit the beauty of Islam through education, information, and personal example. It is only through advancing the moral and ethical values taught by all Divine books and Prophets in the hearts of our children that we can ensure a peaceful future for humankind.
