Our Journey

Building the islamic school bit by bit

Our Journey

Ummul Qura Islamic School (UQIS) is run by Ummul Qura Islamic Foundation (UQIF) which is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization (Tax ID: 92-1643032).

There are a lot of Muslims who live in the Fort Worth area. There are also many refugees from different Muslim countries e.g. Syria, Afghanistan, Burma, and some African countries.

Unfortunately, there are no Islamic schools or Madrasas to give proper Islamic education, and because of that, we have experienced that their children are being sent to public school and they are drifting away from the Islam and its teachings. Additionally, there are many converts to Islam and there no one to teach them Islam.

Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, we have commenced the 2023-24 school year. Till now, 68 students (boys and girls) have enrolled. Alhamdulillah, our summer Quran program concluded successfully, with participation from 35+ boys and girls. Presently, 45+ students are actively engaged in our programs, with 70% of them requiring financial assistance.

We have 8 highly qualified teachers who are dedicatedly imparting knowledge and putting forth their utmost effort in teaching our students.

We aim to expand our capacity and facilities for our students’ uninterrupted studies. May Allah aid us in achieving this goal. With your generous support, our aspirations will be attained, by the grace of Allah Subhanahu Wa-Ta’ala.

May Allah Ta’ala accept our intentions and bless us abundantly for our good deeds.
