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.
Founded in August 2015, Darul Qur’an London was established to address the pressing educational needs of the Muslim community in Camden and neighbouring areas. What began humbly in the basement of Al-Rahman Mosque quickly grew into the first fully structured Islamic supplementary school in the region, offering both Hifzul Qur’an and Islamic Studies.
Thanks to community support and student success, we expanded to additional branches in Queen’s Crescent (2017) and Kentish Town (2018). In October 2021, we proudly acquired our own purpose-built premises in Hamden Close, NW1 1HW, near King’s Cross St Pancras. Today, this centre serves as:
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.
Recite directly to one of our qualified teachers, who will assess the strength of your memorisation, Tajweed, and overall recitation. The teacher will advise you on readiness and preparation needed prior to the full recitation.
Recite the entire Holy Quran to your teacher from memory across a series of structured lessons. Your teacher will listen attentively, correct mistakes, and verify accuracy throughout the complete text.
Once you complete the full recitation and satisfy the required standard, your teacher will grant you an Ijazah with the authorised chain (Sanad). You will receive an official Ijazah certificate documenting your transmission.
We understand that many Huffaz have work, family, and professional commitments. We offer flexible learning arrangements with both online and in-person study options (subject to teacher availability) tailored to your personal schedule.
Completing Hifz is a tremendous blessing. We celebrate our students' achievements with their families and community. Our previous two graduation and awards ceremonies were held at the prestigious British Library in 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.
