Welcoming women and girls worldwide through in-person and online Islamic education.
صاحبات العلم والعمل والأخلاق
From strong foundations in Arabic and the Islamic sciences to our structured 8-year Aalimiyyah Programme, we combine academic excellence with tarbiyyah, adab and personal growth.
Our aim is to develop knowledgeable, confident and compassionate Muslim women — mothers, teachers, professionals and future educators — grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah and prepared to serve Islam and their communities.
Our identity
The golden roof of our emblem shelters an open book — representing Dar E Umar (RA) as a home of knowledge, tarbiyyah and growth.
From a student’s first steps in Islamic learning through to advanced study, our aim is not simply to teach knowledge, but to help students understand it, live it and allow it to shape their character.
Knowledge is not simply studied; it is understood, lived and reflected in character.

Islamic Education, Wherever You Are.
At Dar E Umar (RA), our doors extend beyond the walls of our classrooms.
Through our online classes, we welcome women and girls from across the world, making structured Islamic education accessible to those balancing motherhood, employment, university and family responsibilities.
Whether studying locally or joining us online, students are encouraged to participate actively, develop strong academic foundations and grow in knowledge, tarbiyyah and akhlaq.
Distance may separate our classrooms, but our commitment to knowledge, character and excellence remains the same.
Curriculum
Our curriculum draws on established texts across Arabic, Fiqh and Usool, Hadeeth, Tafseer, Aqeedah, Seerah and Qur’anic studies.
Our approach to tarbiyyah
At Dar E Umar (RA), not every lesson comes from a book.
Our curriculum gives students a strong academic foundation, but we believe Islamic education extends far beyond the classroom.
Through companionship, service, discussion, educational activities, Anjumans, retreats, trips and opportunities for worship and reflection, knowledge moves from the page into a student’s character and daily life.
Learning alongside teachers and fellow students who share the same aim.
Putting knowledge to work for families and the wider community.
Talking ideas through and learning together in ways that bring lessons to life.
Student gatherings that build confidence in speaking and sharing what they learn.
Time together away from the classroom to learn, bond and reflect.
Opportunities to worship, remember Allah and reflect together.

Testimonials
More Than Education. A Journey of Growth.
At Dar E Umar (RA), we believe the true measure of Islamic education is not simply the knowledge a student acquires, but how that knowledge shapes their character, strengthens their faith and influences the way they live.
Through dedicated teachers, meaningful relationships, academic guidance and compassionate tarbiyyah, we strive to create an environment where students feel valued, supported and inspired to grow.
We are grateful to share the experiences of those who have been part of this journey.
Every student is more than a name on a register. Every achievement is more than a grade. And every step towards Allah is worth nurturing.
