Our story
Religious grounding and worldly skill, since 2014.
IAR Education Centre began in Bhandup, Mumbai, with eight students and a simple belief: education and religion should be taught together, not as competing priorities.

History
The foundation of IAR Education Centre was laid in September 2014, with the aim of providing religious education to children and assisting those in need.
What began with just four boys and four girls has now grown significantly. Today, we have 30 students receiving education at our center, along with 17 students enrolled in our online classes. Our madrasa operates under the guidance of four qualified teachers, some of whom have pursued their education at Howza Ilmiya Qum.
Established under the leadership of the founder of Masjid Al-Zehra Trust, Jamil Nagar, Bhandup, IAR Education Center is not limited to education alone. We are also committed to helping the underprivileged, providing essential aid such as ration supplies and oxygen cylinders to those in need. Our mission is to ensure that every student receives quality education and every person in need gets the necessary support.
Core values & teachings
At our center, we focus on holistic development by offering a diverse curriculum that includes Quranic studies, religious teachings, manners, and ethics. Alongside spiritual education, we provide computer training and electrician sessions to equip students with practical skills.
Students are encouraged to participate in majlis recitation, enhancing their confidence and public speaking skills. To foster motivation and leadership, students take full responsibility for organizing majlis and mehfils, ensuring hands-on experience in event management.
Every Thursday, we hold Dua-e-Kumail sessions, creating a spiritual atmosphere that strengthens faith and unity among students.

Mode of madrasa classes
A flexible learning environment with both offline and online classes to suit every student’s needs.
Our madrasa offers a flexible learning environment with both offline and online classes. We conduct offline classes at our center, ensuring direct interaction and guidance from qualified teachers. Additionally, we provide one online class, allowing remote students to benefit from quality education. This hybrid approach helps us reach a wider audience while maintaining a strong foundation in Islamic studies.
Our branches
Girls’ branch
Madrasa Ummul Momeneen Khadijatul Kubra (s.a)
It is a girls-only religious class. It helps girl students to openly learn without any hesitation or restrictions. Since Islam teaches Hijab, our first initiative is to standardize Hijab (veil), and to achieve this, Madrasa UMKK was founded.
Boys’ branch
Madrasa Imam Ali Raza (a.s)
A boys-only class teaching religious and cultural education. It helps students understand complicated subjects with smooth workflow, allowing them to learn freely.
Anaj Bank
Islam teaches us the importance of helping the poor and serving humanity. The Anaj Bank is a good initiative to support those in need so they can get help with dignity. Our madrasa has started this effort so that deserving people can benefit from it easily. This step shows our commitment to kindness and helping others.
Our mission
To provide all-in-one support to students, individuals, and families — ensuring both educational and financial assistance.
Madrasa Imam Ali Raza A.S. (IAR Education Trust) is integrating technology to help students stay connected globally. Established in 2016 in Bhandup, Mumbai, the madrasa has been instrumental in building students’ confidence for public speaking and online presentations.
