Respected brothers & sisters!!
Institute of Islamic Research (IIR), established under the patronage of Al-Farooque Educational Trust (AFET), aims to be an Islamic Educational Platform where the seekers of the true knowledge of Islam get an amazing opportunity to learn the divine knowledge of Islam with the easiest and most convenient way and develop themselves to be true ambassadors in order to serve Islam and the entire Ummah.
Graduates from IIR are not only recognized as the leaders of the ummah who understand the Holy Texts in its true manner, but they portray themselves as live examples as true inheritors of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
IIR offers a rich exploration of understanding the Islamic Sciences. We at IIR, understand that there are many students who have the thirst to acquire the divine knowledge, but due to other commitments and responsibilities, they are unable to reach their goal. IIR understands this hinderance, and provides a diverse set of Islamic Educational Programs tailored for those who are occupied due to their commitments.
We welcome students who desire to learn this divine knowledge through Online Classes, Offline Classes or Short-Term Courses.
May Allah Bless us all!!
