The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it to others."
High quality teaching of both the Quran and Arabic language within the Muslim community across Europe
"The idea of establishing an Academy has been present for some time, with an aim to target the inadequacy and poor accessibility to high quality teaching of both the Quran and Arabic language within the Muslim community across Europe."
(Sheikh Ayad & Sheikh Amr)
About
Our vision
A A Knowledge Academy is committed to teaching the correct way of recitation and memorisation of the Qur’an, alongside the teachings of the Arabic language and other Islamic sciences that are related directly and indirectly to the Qur’an.
The Founders
A A was named after Sheikh Ayad and Sheikh Amr, the founders of the academy, whom for many years have been teaching Qur'an and training Imams and teachers at the highest level within the UK and across the Arab world.
Our Mission
We aim to facilitate optimal learning experiences for students of different levels and backgrounds by providing proficient teachers with extensive experience in teaching.
AA Knowledge Academy was established and first launched as an “online” Academy during the COVID Summer of 2020. The idea of establishing an Academy was present for some time with an aim to target the inadequacy and poor accessibility to high quality teaching of both the Quran and Arabic language within the Muslim community across Europe.
In opening our doors to face to face teaching , we are committed to providing an environment that caters for all individuals of all styles and learning abilities, while simultaneously maintaining online classes for students who can not attend in person.
