About Al-Rayan Foundation and Its Mission

Al-Rayan is an educational organisation established to strengthen madrasah education through a coherent syllabus and teacher training. With a growing network of centres and organisations, Al-Rayan's mission is to help communities deliver Islamic learning that is sound in creed, strong in character, and relevant to children's lived realities.

The Al-Rayan programme aims to cultivate students who:

• Develop taqwā (God-consciousness) and murāqabah (mindfulness of Allah)
• See Islam as a complete way of life, shaping beliefs, worship, and behaviour
• Learn to serve the Creator and His creation with sincerity and responsibility
• Grow with a clear sense of faith-based identity and belonging
• Become conscientious of accountability before Allah, understanding what He expects of them

By combining structured learning outcomes, inclusive teaching methods, and practical application at home and in the classroom, Al-Rayan supports children to bridge knowledge and practice-so their Islamic learning becomes a foundation for lifelong guidance and growth.
