About Us

The Islamic Academy of Coventry was established as a resource for Islamic Knowledge for all Muslims regardless of background, creed or culture. It was the wish of the late Maulāna Suleman (May Allah grant him paradise) that a centre of learning be established in the heart of Coventry.

May Allah accept the efforts of all those associated with the Academy.
