Today, IQRA’ calls Skokie, Illinois home. Staffed by educators, professionals, and volunteers, we grew to become synonymous with Islamic education worldwide. Our Program of Islamic Studies is one of the most widely used in the Islamic world, and our textbooks are trusted where ever Muslim communities are established. From Muslim-majority countries like Indonesia, to Muslim communities in Siberia, IQRA’s Islamic school curriculum is recognized for seamlessly weaving together Islam and modern education. Our approach to education is nuanced, for we consider such things as pedagogy and grade readability when we design our textbooks and workbooks. The standards we set for ourselves is something licensed teachers appreciate. What solidifies that trust is that we submit our school textbooks to the scrutiny of Islamic scholars and educators. Teachers can trust that our school books are authentic.
IQRA’ is a non-profit Islamic educational establishment (waqf) founded in 1983 to effectively respond to the growing needs of our children, youth, and adults for sound Islamic instruction in today’s global village. IQRA’ believes that the hearts and minds of our students must be cultivated by effective and suitable religious education that is cognitively appropriate to a student’s age and life-experience. Therefore, IQRA’s curricula have been designed to ensure maximum effectiveness in conveying Islam to our students.
