Ilm Quest Academy (IQA) was established to become a central hub and shining beacon of high - quality Islamic education in Derby and beyond.

We recognised a growing need — not just for more Islamic learning, but for a platform offering high-quality, structured and spiritually transformative education for children and adults / reverts.

Too often, Islamic knowledge is reduced to reading or memorisation without meaning, or rituals without reflection. Our vision is to revive the living practice of Islam — not just in the minds, but in the hearts and lives of our students.

We don’t just teach Islam — we help build Muslims who live it.

Whether you’re just starting your child’s journey with the Qur’an or seeking to reconnect with your own Islamic obligations or deepen your intellectual understanding of Islam — IQA has a programme designed for you.

To build believers with purpose — Muslims who know, understand and live Islam confidently and compassionately.
