Sowing the seeds of Prophetic inheritance

Not-for-profit Qur’an school based in Auckland, providing education programmes & events that empower New Zealand Muslims to deepen their connection with the Qur’an.

Quality Islamic Education, Rooted in the New Zealand Context

For generations, New Zealand Muslims seeking Islamic knowledge have had to travel abroad at great cost and difficulty, only to return facing the challenge of applying their learning locally.

We’re changing this by providing meaningful Islamic education, scholar access, and events that support Muslims to live their faith right here in New Zealand.

Our Programmes

The Foundation Programme

The Foundations Programme is an Islamic essentials course for school-aged students. It helps learners build a strong understanding of their faith and develop a lasting connection to the Quran, the Sunna, and traditional Muslim values.

Adult Programmes

We offer regular classes for men and women that centre on traditional Islamic texts, providing accessible and thought-provoking learning for students at all levels. Through these works, participants deepen their understanding of spirituality, personal development, and the timeless guidance of the Islamic scholarly tradition.

Special Needs Programme

Our Special Needs Programme provides tailored Quranic education for learners who need additional support with their educational journey. Lessons are tailored to meet individual needs so that students can engage with the Quran at their own pace. Our teachers use flexible approaches to create a supportive and inclusive environment.

International Scholars

Dar al Quran, in collaboration with the Legacy Series and Hillsborough Masjid, regularly hosts renowned international scholars across New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific. These visits offer communities the opportunity to engage deeply with classical and contemporary Islamic knowledge in a local context.

Gatherings of Remembrance

We host regular Gatherings of Remembrance every Thursday and the first Sunday of the month. Our Gatherings of Remembrance are our longest-running programmes. These gatherings opportunity for families to come together as a whole community, engage in dhikr and salawat, reflect and share a meal.

Dar al Quran is a project of the Lote Tree Trust.

Lote Tree Trust is a community organisation based in Auckland. Since 2015, we’ve been working to build an ecosystem where people and communities across Aotearoa can thrive spiritually, socially, and collectively.
