Darul Qur’an London is a learning institution where we always try to build up a learning community for all ages and groups of people. At Darul Qur’an, we facilitate not just the acquisition of knowledge but the opportunities to translate knowledge into personal and moral development, which will be reflected in the daily life of our students. We are dedicated to high teaching quality and traditional studies enhanced by modern technologically advanced methods. We have variety of courses to choose from, including Hifzul-Qur’an, Islamic studies, Arabic studies, Alimiyyah and Tajweed course for children and adults etc, in addition to having a completely structured and level-by-level curriculum for all the courses.
Darul Qur’an London was established in August 2015 to fulfil the urgent needs and demands of the Muslim community of Camden and its surrounding areas for high quality religious and moral education. Darul Qur’an began its humble journey in the basement hall of Al-Rahman Mosque and Education Centre (NW11NW). At that time, it was the first ever fully structured Hifzul-Qur’an and Islamic supplementary school in the Camden area of London. With the grace of Allah, within a very short period, its number of students grew exponentially. Consequently, Darul Qur’an London opened its Queens’ Crescent branch in May 2017. And, in September 2018, it expanded its branch to Kentish Town Baitul Aman Mosque as well.
Darul Qur’an London was in need of its own premises where it will be able to operate independently and implement its various prospective projects. Therefore, in October 2021, it acquired its own premises in Hamden Close, NW11HW (near King’s Cross St Pancras International Station) – which does not only serve as an educational building; rather, as a masjid, community centre and a hub for all the members of the Muslim community of Camden. Having acquired these premises, Darul Qur’an London moved all of its branches to this new building.
We at Darul Qur’an London pride ourselves of the highest quality of teaching. We have placed an obligation upon ourselves to teach the children of the community the fundamental principles of the Islamic religion, enabling our future leaders to understand and practise the day-to-day obligations which are required from them. We aim to instil Islamic values and characteristics derived from the Qur’an and Sunnah into the next generation of teachers and scholars.
We understand the importance of children being able to learn Arabic to enrich their lives. Therefore, we have taken upon ourselves the responsibility to teach Islamic manners, the rules of worship, reading and writing Arabic, Islamic beliefs, as well the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).
Darul Qur’an London offers excellent teaching of the Holy Qur’an. At Darul Qur’an we strive to benefit our students both in the present and in the future. Being a Darul Qur’an student means to practically act upon the Hadeeth: “The best amongst you (Muslims) is the one who learns the Holy Qur’an and teaches it.”
As teachers of Darul Qur’an we aim to fulfil our duty to teach our students the Holy Qur’an and other Islamic disciplines as best as we can.

Ability-based pace
Entry Requirements: To enroll in Hifzul Qur’an, students must recite the Qur’an fluently and possess sound practical knowledge of Tajweed rules.
Have you already memorised the entire Holy Quran but never received a formal Ijazah? Perhaps you completed your Hifz independently, studied with a private teacher, or graduated from a Hifz programme without obtaining an Ijazah with a connected Sanad.
Darul Quran London offers you the opportunity to complete this sacred milestone under the guidance of qualified Quran teachers who hold an Ijazah with a connected chain of transmission (Sanad) reaching back to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
An Ijazah is more than an ordinary certificate. It is a traditional authorisation granted by a qualified teacher after a student has demonstrated the required standard of Quranic recitation and memorisation. It preserves the time-honoured tradition of learning and transmitting the Quran directly from teacher to student.
You will recite to one of our qualified teachers, who will assess the strength of your memorisation, Tajweed and overall recitation. The teacher will advise you on your readiness and any preparation needed before beginning the full recitation.
You will recite the entire Holy Quran to your teacher from memory, across a series of lessons. Your teacher will listen carefully, correct mistakes and assess your accuracy throughout the process.
Once you have completed the full recitation and met the required standard, your teacher may grant you an Ijazah with the relevant chain of transmission (Sanad). You will receive an Ijazah certificate documenting your achievement and the authorised chain, as applicable.
We understand that many Huffaz have work, family and other commitments. That is why we aim to offer flexible arrangements, with online and in-person study options, subject to teacher availability.You can discuss your circumstances with us so that a suitable learning schedule can be arranged.
Completing Hifz is a tremendous blessing. Earning an Ijazah is an opportunity to take that achievement further through a recognised tradition of Quranic transmission.At Darul Quran London, we also value the opportunity to celebrate our students' achievements with their families and the wider community. Our previous two awards and graduation ceremonies were held at the prestigious British Library in London.Upon successful completion of the programme, eligible students may have the opportunity to participate in a formal graduation ceremony, subject to the arrangements for that event.
If you have already completed your Hifz and wish to pursue an Ijazah under the guidance of qualified teachers, we invite you to contact Darul Quran London.Take the next step in your Quranic journey, strengthen your recitation and continue the noble tradition of learning and transmitting the Book of Allah.Contact us today to arrange an initial assessment and discuss your path towards Ijazah, insha'Allah.

The need for a full-time madrasah, which will serve as an Islamic secondary school and college, has been long felt by the Muslim community of Camden and surrounding areas. The absence of a full-time madrasah in Camden is forcing the considerate parents to send their children to distant areas. This has, in addition to being very time-consuming, been proven to be very burdensome and inconvenient.
Consequently, Darul Qur’an London intends to initiate a full-time madrasah in the very near future. Insha Allah.
