Our Islamic Inspiration
Inspired by a Legacy of Knowledge, Character and Service
Markaz Deen-e-Islam is the home of this legacy in the United Kingdom, and Quran Academy Partington in Manchester is the second institution here inspired by the teachings, vision and legacy of the great Islamic scholar, Shaykh Munir Ahmed Yusufi رحمہ اللہ.
The foundation of our work is inspired by a simple but profound principle: true Islamic education is not only about gaining knowledge; it is about transforming hearts, building character and serving humanity.
Shaykh Munir Ahmed Yusufi رحمہ اللہ dedicated his life to the teaching and propagation of Islam. Through his knowledge, humility, character and commitment to serving the Ummah, his teachings touched the hearts and lives of countless people.
His legacy continues through the institutions and charitable work established upon his vision.
One Chain, One Family
Where the Chain Is Held Together
Nagina Social Welfare, PakistanFounded by Shaykh Munir Ahmed Yusufi رحمہ اللہ- You are hereMarkaz Deen-e-IslamPeterborough · Head office, Nagina Social Welfare UK
Quran AcademyPartington, Manchester · Second institution in the UK
Markaz Deen-e-Islam is the head office of Nagina Social Welfare UK. From here we guide, support and stand behind every centre in the chain, including Quran Academy Partington in Manchester.
We believe in unity. A centre grows strongest when it is joined to the rest, and a head office is only as strong as the centres it serves. Neither stands alone.
One family, one vision, one mission: knowledge, character and service.
A Legacy of Education and Community Service
Service to Humanity, Built on Knowledge
Shaykh Munir Ahmed Yusufi رحمہ اللہ was the founder of Nagina Social Welfare, Pakistan, an organisation established with a commitment to Islamic education, community welfare and service to humanity.
Qur’an, Fiqh and Islamic teachings
Thousands of children have had the opportunity to learn the Holy Qur’an, Fiqh and Islamic teachings.
Recognised academic pathways
Educational institutions connected with this work have sought to provide structured Islamic education and recognised academic pathways.
This remarkable legacy reminds us that the most valuable investment we can make is in people — their faith, their knowledge, their character and their future.
Our purpose is not simply to teach children to read the Holy Qur’an. We aspire to nurture a generation that understands the Holy Qur’an, lives by its teachings and reflects its values through beautiful character and conduct.
We believe that when knowledge enters the heart and is reflected in character, it becomes a source of benefit for the individual, the family and the wider community.
وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا
“And say: My Lord, increase me in knowledge.”
We pray that Markaz Deen-e-Islam becomes a sadaqah jariyah — a continuous source of benefit — by nurturing generations who carry the Holy Qur’an in their hearts, embody the Sunnah in their character and dedicate themselves to serving humanity.
Our inspiration comes from the Holy Qur’an, the Sunnah and the legacy of scholars who dedicated their lives to spreading knowledge and serving the Ummah.
May Allah ﷻ accept this humble effort, bless our teachers and students, preserve the legacy of our scholars, and allow future generations to carry the light of Qur’an and Sunnah forward. Ameen.
