Al-Mizan Bedford Islamic School is dedicated to inspiring our next generation with an Islamic practical and philosophical foundation. We are a popular and well established Saturday school providing Islamic knowledge and teaching Quranic Arabic education for children in the Bedford and surrounding areas.
History
Al-Mizan was founded in 2005 for the benefit of local children that needed motivational Islamic and Quranic Arabic education. Al-Mizan was Bedford’s first dedicated Islamic Saturday School. The school initially started with a very small group of students but today we have over 100 weekly attendees during term time.
Throughout the life of the school we have remained a ‘not-for-profit’ community focused organisation. We are eternally grateful to those who have helped the school establish a stable footing for the future through financial donations and dedication of time. Also, the dedication of our long-term volunteers and teaching staff allow the school to continue so we pray for Allah’s grace and for all those involved with the school.
Ethos
Our ethos is to provide motivational lessons based on the Qur’an and Sunnah to help start the next generation on the journey to develop their faith through the love and understanding of Islam. Our philosophy is to teach students essential elements of Islamic principles, practice and etiquette so they become the balanced and ethical Muslims we all aspire to be. Insha’Allah the lessons learnt whilst at Al-Mizan will remain with the students as they grow and develop into mature productive adults.
