Granada Islamic Academy is a specialized educational initiative of the Centre for Zakat Management (CZM), dedicated to nurturing underprivileged yet meritorious students. Building on CZM’s longstanding experience in supporting higher education, the Academy was established in 2023 with a clear mission: to develop Huffaz into competent, well-rounded scholars capable of meeting the intellectual and moral challenges of the modern world.
At the heart of our philosophy lies the belief that a Hafiz of the Qur’an, when equipped with contemporary education and essential life skills, can become a powerful force for positive change in society. To realize this vision, the Academy offers a carefully designed, integrated curriculum that combines the strengths of both Alia and Qawmi education, ensuring a balanced development of religious knowledge, academic excellence, and character formation.
Granada Islamic Academy provides a fully residential, safe, and disciplined learning environment where students receive personalized attention through limited class sizes. Our commitment to accessibility is reflected in our full scholarship program, allowing deserving students to pursue quality education without financial constraints.
The Academy is equipped with modern academic facilities, including a computer laboratory, a resourceful library, and structured language programs in Arabic and English. In addition, dedicated Hifz revision sessions and accelerated academic pathways ensure that students maintain their memorization while progressing efficiently in their studies.
Our core objectives are to produce world-class Islamic scholars, foster leadership grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah, promote research-oriented learning, and develop proficiency in Arabic and English to prepare students for higher education both nationally and internationally, including in renowned institutions across the Arab world.
Granada Islamic Academy is more than an educational institution—it is a vision to cultivate a generation of knowledgeable, ethical, and forward-thinking leaders committed to the betterment of society and the Ummah.
