Mahad Al-Zahra is for students looking to memorize the Quran al-Majeed
"I named It Mahad Al-Zahra so that it may receive the blessings of Moulatona Fatema-tuz-Zahra SA, to whom this Dawat is associated."
Al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA
Mahad al-Zahra has been established in order to provide education of recitation in accordance with the laws of tajweed, to facilitate the memorization of the Quran al-Majid and to offer a means of study of its knowledge. It is also responsible for providing education regarding contemporary fields of knowledge and languages so as to highlight the all-encompassing nature of the Quran al-Majeed and the greatness of Islam.
