A Message from the Founder
"I believe that children should experience the Qur'an with love, understanding, and joy, while being gently guided towards living by its teachings."
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu — I'm Umama Ahmed, an Islamic educator, seeker of knowledge, children's author, and mother of three. For me, teaching the Qur'an is not simply about learning to read or memorize its words. It is about nurturing a relationship with the Book of Allah that continues to grow throughout a child's life.
This vision is at the heart of NLM Qur'an Academy. Through our programs and dedicated teachers, we strive to create a warm and nurturing learning environment where students can learn the Qur'an correctly, develop a love for Allah and His Book, and grow in faith and character. As a lifelong student of knowledge, I am also committed to continually learning and improving so that we can offer our students an experience rooted in knowledge, sincerity, and excellence.
May Allah accept our efforts, place barakah in this journey, and make the Qur'an the light of our hearts and a source of guidance for our children.
