Darul Hadis Latifiah

Darul Hadis Latifiah (Formerly Madrasah-e-Darul Qirat Majidiah) has historically played a pioneering role in educating young British Muslims. Its establishment in 1978 as one of the very first Islamic educational institutions in London, to gave respite to many concerned parents about the state of their child’s Islamic education.

Our vision is to achieve excellence in all that we do. In doing so, we aim to prepare our pupils for the rapidly growing world in the 21st century. We aim for the highest level of achievement in religious, cultural and academic performance by providing opportunities to pupils to reach their full potential. We are bound together by the values of: Faith, Truth, Fairness, Dedication, Respect, Excellence.

The school seeks to educate children in Qur’an and the Shariah in conjunction with mainstream education. The institution’s historical progress is a reflection of the dedication and commitment of its patron and founder. Its origins were humble and the constant need for bigger premises reflects the demand of our services within our local community.

Judged as a ‘good’ school by Ofsted, our achievements can be seen through rapid improvements in education. We are also making key strides towards creating a school which makes a significant difference through the disciplines of Islam to the community we serve and provides opportunities for all our pupils and students.

Our aim is to set up a quality independent school for Muslim children where they will be able to develop their academic talents to their full potential as well as their faith in Allah. The school will have a caring, family atmosphere where pupils will learn happily together. The committed and highly qualified staff will ensure that this aim is achieved. Each class will have a personal tutor. The tutors will be concerned with the intellectual, moral and personal development of all the pupils. This personal care will also enhance the staff-pupil relationship, ensuring the smooth running of the school.

We shall strive to make the pupils aware of their responsibilities and obligations towards their own families, the Muslim community and British society at large so that they are prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead of them. The most important aim of Darul Hadis Latifiah is to give all pupils a true understanding of Islam, it’s principles and how these can be applied to achieve happiness and success in life. Moral and spiritual training will be given practically through the practice of daily prayers, fasting and other disciplines of Islam.
