OUR FACULTY AND STAFF ARE THE BACKBONE OF OUR SCHOOL

Imam Ibn Majah (rahimahullah) has recorded the following words on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr : [Bu’ithtu mu’alliman- I have been sent as a teacher]. (Sunan ibn Majah, Hadith: 229)

Being a TEACHER is NOT a 9 to 5 job. Teaching is a work of HEART. Our teachers love what they do and they share their enthusiasm for the school every day in a spirit of caring, collegiality, and fun. They take great care to nurture our students, foster emotional connections, and build the relationships necessary for a unified community.

Mufti Borkot
Mufti Borkot
I grew up in UK where I started to learn the Quran. However due to the lack of a proper environment I moved to Bangladesh where I pursued the knowledge of Quran and Hadeeth. After memorizing the Quran I attended Lalbagh Jamea, one of the most famous Islamic Institutes in the country. After completing 10 years of studies earning the title of a Mufti I started to travel to observe the state of the Ummah. 2 years of travelling the country and abroad opened my eyes to the need of proper Islamic education for the next generation. This led me to this school where everyone is striving hard to create that environment which I lacked in my childhood. So my ambition is to create environments where children can grow up to be better Muslims.
